Schneider Electric CDF563D Residual Current Circuit Breaker 2P 63A 30mA 10kA Type F

The Schneider Electric CDF563D is a high-performance 2-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) engineered to provide reliable electrical protection in both residential and industrial environments. This device is specifically designed to detect and interrupt circuits when residual currents are present, ensuring safety against electric shocks and potential fire hazards. With a rated current of 63A and a sensitivity of 30mA, it offers a robust solution for modern electrical systems that require advanced protection against complex leakage currents.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this Type F RCCB is its ability to detect not only standard AC residual currents but also pulsating DC components, which are increasingly common in modern electronic equipment. Its 10kA short-circuit capacity ensures durability and safety even under high-stress electrical conditions. By integrating this device into your distribution board, you gain superior protection for sensitive electronics, reducing the risk of nuisance tripping while maintaining high safety standards for your installation.

Suitable for

• Frequency converters and variable speed drives
• Single-phase inverters in solar power systems
• Heat pump installations
• Modern household appliances with electronic control units
• Industrial machinery requiring protection against complex residual currents

This device may not be suitable for older electrical installations that do not meet current safety standards or where the leakage current of the connected equipment exceeds the 30mA sensitivity threshold, which could lead to frequent unwanted tripping. It is also not intended for use in DC-only circuits or high-voltage industrial grids that require specialized industrial-grade protection devices.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 63A
• Sensitivity: 30mA
• Short-circuit capacity: 10kA
• Type: F

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the device specifications and that all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque to prevent overheating and ensure proper operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 63A rating is appropriate for your main circuit or sub-circuit load
• Ensure the 30mA sensitivity meets the safety requirements for your specific application
• Check compatibility with existing DIN rail enclosures
• Confirm that your system requires Type F protection for electronic loads

For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to test the residual current circuit breaker periodically using the integrated test button to ensure the mechanical tripping mechanism remains functional.
