Hager ADM460C RCBO 4P C 10A 30mA Type A 6kA

The Hager ADM460C is a high-quality 4-pole residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO), designed to provide comprehensive safety in electrical distribution systems. This device integrates both circuit breaker and residual current protection functions into a single compact unit, ensuring efficient monitoring and rapid response to electrical faults. It is engineered to handle a rated current of 10A and features a C-curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications where moderate inrush currents are expected.

Advantages

This RCBO offers a robust solution for electrical safety by combining overload and short-circuit protection with sensitive earth leakage detection. The Type A classification ensures that the device can detect both alternating and pulsating direct residual currents, providing a higher level of safety compared to standard AC types. Its 6kA breaking capacity allows it to safely interrupt fault currents, protecting downstream equipment and wiring from damage. The 4-pole configuration makes it versatile for three-phase systems with a neutral connection, ensuring balanced protection across all phases.

Suitable for

• Three-phase electrical distribution boards
• Commercial and industrial lighting circuits
• Protection of sensitive electronic equipment
• Systems requiring Type A residual current detection

This device may not be suitable for circuits where the load exceeds the 10A rated current or in environments with extreme ambient temperatures outside the manufacturer's specified operating range. It is also not intended for use in DC-only systems or specialized high-frequency applications without further assessment.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 4
• Rated current: 10A
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Residual current sensitivity: 30mA
• Residual current type: A
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Operating voltage: 230-400V

How to use

The Hager ADM460C should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution enclosure. Ensure that all supply and load cables are correctly sized and securely terminated to the corresponding terminals. After installation, the device should be tested using the integrated test button to verify the mechanical operation of the residual current mechanism.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10A rated current matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the 30mA sensitivity is appropriate for the intended application
• Check that the 4-pole configuration is compatible with your distribution system
• Confirm the physical space available in your distribution board

Regular testing of the RCBO via the test button is recommended at least every six months to ensure the continued reliability of the earth leakage protection mechanism.
