Description
6A Curve B 30mA Bi-Directional A Type RCBO – Compact RCBO, Switched Line & Neutral, 6kA
Ideal for Lighting Circuits and PV Installations – Niglon RCBO1-6/30SAX2 Bi-Directional RCBO
Niglon RCBO1-6/30SAX2
The Niglon RCBO1-6/30SAX2 6A RCBO offers compact and highly reliable protection for lighting and other low-current circuits. Crucially, this model is fully bi-directional, meaning it detects earth leakage and overcurrent faults regardless of current flow direction. As a result, it is perfectly suited for use in solar PV systems, where reverse current can occur during energy export.
Many standard RCBOs only operate correctly when current flows in a specific direction. However, solar installations often experience reverse energy flow—from the solar inverter back to the grid. This is why a bi-directional RCBO like this one is essential for full protection and compliance in PV-ready setups.
At just 18mm wide, this compact RCBO saves space in crowded consumer units. It includes switched line and neutral disconnection, enhancing safety during maintenance and fault conditions. The Curve B tripping characteristic makes it ideal for resistive loads such as lighting or controls.
