Residual-current circuit breaker Kanlux KRO6-2/C10/30 2P, C-curve, 10 A, 30 mA, type AC

Two-pole residual-current circuit breaker Kanlux KRO6-2/C10/30 combines overcurrent protection with earth-leakage detection in a compact device for DIN-rail distribution boards. The breaker features a C-curve tripping characteristic and a rated current of 10 A, while a 30 mA residual current sensitivity (type AC) provides detection of alternating current leakages. The unit is intended for installation in residential and light commercial electrical circuits where protection against overload, short-circuit and AC-type leakage is required.

Advantages

The Kanlux KRO6-2/C10/30 integrates short-circuit and residual-current protection into a single two-pole module suitable for standard 35 mm DIN-rail mounting. Its C-curve ensures reliable tripping for moderate inrush currents from motors and lighting, while the 30 mA sensitivity enhances personal protection against electric shock from AC faults. The compact form factor and clear rating markings simplify wiring and panel layout in distribution boards.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting and small appliance circuits in homes
• Residential distribution boards and subpanels
• Light commercial installations with AC-type leakage risk
• Circuit protection where two-pole isolation is required

Key specifications

• Poles: 2-pole (double-pole)
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Rated current: 10 A
• Residual current sensitivity: 30 mA, type AC (detects AC leakage)
• Function: Combined overcurrent and residual-current protection
• Mounting: 35 mm DIN-rail compatible

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail inside the distribution board according to local electrical regulations. Ensure supply and load conductors are connected to the correct terminals and that the device is secured. After wiring, test the residual-current operation by using a suitable RCD tester or the built-in test function if present, and verify correct tripping under simulated fault conditions. Follow national wiring standards for protective conductor connections and circuit labeling.

Usage recommendations

Use this device as part of a complete protective system; coordinate with upstream and downstream protective devices and comply with applicable electrical codes. Periodically test residual-current function and inspect connections for tightness, and replace the device if it shows signs of damage or fails testing.
