    Introduction to RCBOs

    RCBOs, or Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overload Protection, are essential devices for anyone looking to achieve comprehensive circuit protection in their electrical installations. By combining residual and overload protection in a single, compact unit, RCBOs offer a practical solution for safeguarding circuits against both earth leakage and overcurrent faults. FuseBox RCBOs have become increasingly popular among professional electricians, thanks to their solid construction, reliability, and attractive price point. As a highly rated and trusted go-to brand, FuseBox delivers the quality and affordability that professionals demand. Installing FuseBox RCBOs ensures not only the safety of your electrical system but also provides peace of mind, all at a very reasonable price.

    Curve Type and Characteristics

    The curve type of an RCBO is a key factor in determining how the device responds to different fault conditions. FuseBox RCBOs are available with both B and C type tripping curves, offering flexibility for a wide range of applications. The B curve is ideal for general-purpose circuits, providing reliable protection for standard residential and light commercial loads. In contrast, the C curve is designed to handle circuits with higher inrush currents, such as those found in motor or transformer applications.

    Understanding the curve type and its characteristics is crucial for selecting the right RCBO for your project. Type A RCBOs from FuseBox are engineered to detect both alternating current (AC) and pulsating direct current (DC) components, making them a versatile choice for modern electrical systems in both residential and commercial settings.

    Current Rating Options

    FuseBox RCBOs are available in a comprehensive range of current ratings, from 6A to 50A, ensuring there is a suitable option for every installation. The current rating of an RCBO determines the maximum current the device can safely carry before tripping, which is vital for protecting both the wiring and connected equipment.

    Whether you are working on a small residential circuit or a larger commercial installation, FuseBox offers RCBOs with current ratings that match your specific requirements. The most popular options, ranging from 6A to 40A, provide the flexibility needed for a variety of applications, ensuring both safety and efficiency. With FuseBox RCBOs, you can confidently select the right device to meet the demands of your project.

    Technical Specifications

    FuseBox RCBOs are engineered with technical specifications that meet the needs of modern electrical installations. Each device boasts a rated breaking capacity of 6kA, ensuring it can safely interrupt fault currents without compromising the integrity of the system. The generous terminal capacity allows for easy connection of a range of wire sizes, simplifying installation and ensuring a secure fit.

    With a voltage rating suitable for most residential and commercial environments, FuseBox RCBOs deliver reliable performance across a wide range of applications. Additionally, these devices provide superior protection against transient overvoltages, rapidly diverting surges to earth in less than 25 nanoseconds. This combination of robust technical features makes FuseBox RCBOs a dependable choice for achieving comprehensive circuit protection.

    Set Descending Direction
    I have installed a few of these units and have had a couple of problems with the connection screw for the cable termination
    What PZ is the terminal screw out of interest
    Thanks Geoff
    Question by: Geoff Mullen on 23 Mar 2023, 11:37
    PZ2 for most screws, apart from smaller terminal screws (PZ1) on RCBO load and SPD terminals.

    Are these the same size as hager
    Question by: Scott Grimsley on 8 Jun 2022, 12:36
    I've compared the size of FuseBox to these Hager RCBOs:
    https://www.expertelectrical.co.uk/hager-rcbo-s-1-pole-30ma

    FuseBox are 114mm high and Hager are 110mm for B Type and 115mm for C Type.
    The depth and the width are the same.
    The sizes are very similar, but not totally identical. Even the Hager B & C Types are identical though, so FuseBox falls in-between both sizes, so should fit inside a Hager board.
    Answer by: Chris Horridge (Admin) on 8 Jun 2022, 12:46
    Is the RTA breaker the same as the RTO because we need the same breaker for a fuse board but carnt find any with the RTO code on thanks only RTA
    Question by: Rob Endall on 6 Dec 2023, 12:44
    The RTO range are discontinued. These were type AC.
    The RTA range is the latest range. These are Type A.
    They'll fit and will be fine.

    Type A RCBOs are used to detect AC (Alternating Current) and pulsating DC (Direct Current) components. Also available in a miniature A and AC version with B and C type tripping curves.
