Schneider Electric RKN Residual Current Circuit Breaker 2P 32A 300mA Type AC

The Schneider Electric RKN residual current circuit breaker is a high-quality 2-pole protective device engineered to enhance electrical safety in various environments. With a rated current of 32A and a sensitivity threshold of 300mA, this type AC device is designed to monitor electrical circuits for leakage currents, effectively disconnecting the power supply when a fault is detected to prevent potential hazards.

Advantages

This residual current circuit breaker offers robust protection against electrical faults, ensuring the safety of both users and equipment. Its reliable design helps maintain circuit integrity within residential and commercial distribution boards. By providing a rapid response to leakage currents, it minimizes the risk of fire and electrical shock, making it a dependable component for modern electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building power systems
• Protection against fire hazards caused by insulation faults
• General electrical circuit monitoring

This device may not be suitable for applications requiring DC component detection, as it is specifically a type AC device. It is also not intended for use in circuits where the leakage current threshold needs to be lower than 300mA, such as in specialized high-sensitivity personal protection scenarios.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 32A
• Sensitivity threshold: 300mA
• Type: AC

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is mounted onto a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the device specifications and that all connections are tightened securely to prevent overheating or poor contact during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the current rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the 300mA sensitivity is appropriate for your specific application
• Check compatibility with existing distribution board space
• Confirm that a type AC device meets your local safety standards

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the functionality of the residual current circuit breaker using the integrated test button to ensure it remains operational and provides continuous protection for your electrical system.
