FuseBox 16A 30mA Type A B Curve 6kA RCBO | RTA061630B

16A Single Module Type A RCBO for FuseBox Consumer Units

The FuseBox RTA061630B is a 16A 30mA Type A B Curve RCBO designed to provide combined residual current and overcurrent protection within compatible FuseBox consumer units.

Combining the functions of an MCB and RCD within one compact device, the RTA061630B provides protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. Its Type A characteristics enable detection of both AC and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for modern electrical installations incorporating electronic equipment.

With a 16A current rating, 30mA sensitivity, B Curve characteristic and 6kA breaking capacity, this single-module RCBO provides effective individual circuit protection while making efficient use of space inside the consumer unit.

FuseBox's technical documentation identifies RTA061630B as the 16A model within its Type A, B Curve, 30mA, 6kA RCBO range.

Combined RCBO Circuit Protection

An RCBO combines residual current protection and overcurrent protection within one protective device.

The RTA061630B therefore provides protection against three key electrical fault conditions: overloads, short circuits and residual current / earth leakage faults.

Individual RCBO protection also allows a fault to be isolated to the affected circuit rather than relying on a shared RCD protecting several outgoing circuits.

Type A Residual Current Protection

The RTA061630B is a Type A RCBO, designed to respond to both AC and pulsating DC residual currents.

FuseBox specifies the device as Type A for AC and pulsating DC residual currents up to 6mA, making it appropriate for many modern electrical installations incorporating electronic loads.

16A B Curve Protection

This model has a rated current of 16A and a B Curve tripping characteristic of 3–5 In.

Its 16A rating makes the RTA061630B suitable for appropriately designed circuits requiring this level of overcurrent protection. Selection should always be based on circuit design, connected load, cable characteristics and applicable wiring requirements.

6kA Breaking Capacity

The RTA061630B provides a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6000A (6kA).

This enables the RCBO to provide short-circuit protection in installations where a 6kA protective device is appropriate.

Compact Single Module Design

Occupying just one module, the RTA061630B allows individual RCBO protection to be installed without unnecessarily consuming space inside the consumer unit.

The device is designed for 35mm DIN rail mounting and incorporates a 450mm flying neutral cable for connection within the consumer unit.

Why Choose the FuseBox RTA061630B?

The FuseBox RTA061630B provides three important forms of electrical protection within one compact device: overload, short-circuit and 30mA residual current protection.

Its combination of a 16A rating, B Curve characteristic, Type A residual protection and 6kA breaking capacity makes it a practical choice for appropriately designed circuits within FuseBox consumer units.

The compact single-module format also helps maximise available consumer unit space while allowing individual circuits to benefit from dedicated RCBO protection.
