Description
16A Type A RCBO C Curve 6kA Uni-Directional
Timeguard TX2416C 16A Type A RCBO C Curve
The Timeguard TX2416C 16A Type A RCBO C Curve is a single-module, uni-directional residual current circuit breaker with integrated overcurrent protection, designed for installation in Timeguard consumer units and compatible distribution boards. It provides combined protection against overload, short-circuit and earth leakage faults for individual final circuits in domestic installations.
Rated at 16A with a Type A residual current characteristic and 30mA sensitivity, this RCBO protects against AC and pulsating DC residual currents. The C curve tripping characteristic makes it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, including socket circuits and connected equipment with higher start-up demands, ensuring reliable operation and effective discrimination.
The unit features a compact 1P+N (single pole with switched neutral) design within a single-module width, enabling efficient use of space inside consumer units. It mounts onto a standard 35mm DIN rail and can be removed without disturbing the busbar, simplifying installation, inspection and future maintenance.
With a 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the TX2516 includes a test button for routine functional testing and a clear contact position indicator for immediate visual status checks. It complies with BS EN 61009-1 and is intended for uni-directional domestic applications in accordance with current UK wiring regulations.
