Fusebox RTA101630C 16A C-Curve Type A RCBO 30mA 10kA 1 Module

This is the Fusebox RTA101630C 16A C-Curve Type A RCBO 30mA 10kA 1 Module available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price.

The FuseBox RTA101630C is a compact but powerful RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Over-current protection) designed for consumer units and distribution boards in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems. It combines the functionality of a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with the earth leakage protection of a residual current device (RCD), delivering dual safety in a single module.

This unit is engineered to protect electrical circuits against overcurrents — such as overloads and short circuits — as well as dangerous earth leakage currents that can cause electric shock or fire hazards. With a 16A rated current, 30mA residual current sensitivity, and a 10kA breaking capacity, it meets modern safety and wiring regulations and is suitable for a wide range of applications.

Thanks to its compact Single Pole design and DIN-rail mounting capability, the RTA101630C is ideal for space-efficient installations in consumer units where reliable protection and compliance with wiring standards are needed.

Features and Benefits

• Combines MCB and RCD protection in one device — saves space and simplifies wiring.
• 16A current rating suited to individual circuits like lighting or sockets.
• 30mA residual current trip for personal shock and fire risk reduction.
• 10kA breaking capacity handles moderate fault currents safely.
• Type A sensitivity detects both AC and pulsating DC earth leakage.
