Hager ADM416C RCBO Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection 3+N 16A 30mA Type A 6kA

The Hager ADM416C is a professional-grade RCBO, combining residual current protection and overcurrent protection in a single compact device. Designed for 3+N electrical systems, this unit ensures comprehensive safety by monitoring for both leakage currents and circuit overloads. It is engineered to provide reliable performance in demanding electrical distribution environments, offering a robust solution for modern residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

This device offers the significant benefit of space-saving installation by integrating two essential safety functions into one housing. The Type A sensitivity ensures detection of both alternating and pulsating direct residual currents, providing a higher level of safety compared to standard AC types. Its durable construction and 6kA breaking capacity make it a dependable choice for protecting sensitive equipment and preventing electrical hazards in complex wiring setups.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office building circuits
• Protection of lighting and power socket circuits
• Industrial sub-distribution panels

When it may not be suitable

This RCBO is not intended for use in systems exceeding its 6kA short-circuit rating or for applications requiring a different tripping characteristic than the one specified. It is also not suitable for DC-only electrical systems or environments where the input voltage falls outside the 230-400V AC range.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16A
• Sensitivity: 30mA
• Protection type: Type A
• Poles: 3+N
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Input voltage: 230-400V AC

How to use

The Hager ADM416C must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that all supply conductors are correctly terminated according to the terminal markings on the device. After installation, the device should be tested using the integrated test button to verify the mechanical operation of the tripping mechanism.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16A rating matches your circuit load requirements
• Ensure the 3+N configuration is compatible with your existing wiring layout
• Confirm that the 30mA sensitivity meets the safety standards for your specific application
• Check that the 6kA breaking capacity is sufficient for the prospective short-circuit current of your installation

Usage recommendations

Regular testing of the RCBO using the test button is recommended at least every six months to ensure the continued functionality of the residual current protection mechanism.
