Kanlux KRO6-2/B16/30-A Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection 2P B 16A 30mA Type A

The Kanlux KRO6-2/B16/30-A is a high-quality residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO), designed to integrate two essential safety functions into a single compact unit. This 2-pole device provides reliable protection for electrical circuits by monitoring for both overcurrent conditions and leakage currents, effectively safeguarding residential and commercial electrical installations against potential hazards.

Advantages

This device offers a space-saving solution by combining the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device in one housing. The Type A classification ensures sensitivity to both alternating and pulsating direct residual currents, providing a higher level of safety compared to standard AC types. Its B-curve characteristic makes it ideal for general-purpose applications with standard inrush currents, ensuring stable operation while maintaining rapid response times during faults.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office building circuits
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits
• General electrical installations requiring overload and leakage protection

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for industrial environments with high-power machinery that generates significant harmonic distortion or high inrush currents that exceed the B-curve threshold. It is also not suitable for circuits requiring a different sensitivity level or specific tripping characteristics not covered by the 30mA Type A specification.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 16A
• Residual current sensitivity: 30mA
• Tripping characteristic: B-curve
• Device type: Type A

How to use

The Kanlux RCBO should 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 the supply cables are securely connected to the input terminals and that the load circuits are correctly wired to the output terminals. After installation, the device should be tested using the integrated test button to verify its mechanical and electrical functionality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16A rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the 30mA sensitivity is appropriate for the intended application
• Check that the DIN rail space is sufficient for a 2-pole device
• Confirm compatibility with existing electrical system standards

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the device using the test button at least every six months to ensure the internal mechanism remains operational and provides consistent protection for your electrical system.
