🛠️ Type A RCBO 16A FuseBox – Curve B, 30mA Protection
FuseBox RTA061630B – An electrical safety breaker for domestic circuits
The type B RCBO 16A FuseBox (more accurately: Type A RCBO with a B-curve tripping profile) delivers dependable protection for home circuits with steady but moderate loads. It combines overload, short-circuit, and earth leakage detection in one smart unit. When something goes wrong, this RCBO reacts quickly to disconnect power — helping protect both people and equipment.
Specifically made for FuseBox consumer units, this RCBO slots in neatly. Its terminal layout matches the board perfectly, so installations are fast, tidy, and secure.
🧰 Common Applications
This 16A RCBO is well suited for:
- Immersion heaters
- Electric underfloor heating systems
- Socket radial circuits
- Circuits previously downgraded from 32A due to faults (e.g. broken ring continuity)
The type A RCBO 16a FuseBox provides reliable protection for these medium-load domestic circuits, especially where balanced fault response is critical. It works reliably with 2.5mm² twin & earth cable and complies with modern wiring regulations.
