Timeguard Circuit Protection 16A 30mA 1+SwN RCBO B Curve 6kA, Type A, Bi-Directional | TX2516

The Timeguard TX2516 16A 1+SwN RCBO provides advanced, compact protection for modern electrical installations. Combining overload, short-circuit, and residual current protection in a single device, this Type A RCBO ensures compliance, reliability, and safety across both domestic and commercial environments. Featuring bi-directional operation, the TX2516 is fully suitable for EV charging and solar PV installations, offering future-proof performance and flexibility. 

Its single pole and switched neutral design allows safe isolation of both live and neutral conductors, while the automatic terminal blanking prevents incorrect wiring.

With a 1-module slimline profile and the ability to be removed without disconnecting the busbar, the TX2516 ensures quick, neat installation every time. Backed by Timeguard’s 5-year guarantee, this RCBO delivers outstanding durability and peace of mind.
