The ETM8RF RCBO can work reliably in harsh environment, in ambient temperature from -25°C to 55°C.
The electrical life can be up to 8000 operations and mechanical life up to 20000 operations, while the IEC requirement is only 4000 operations and 10000 operations.
It’s mounting type is to be mounted on din rail EN60715 35mm.

What is RCBO?

RCBO stands for Residual Current Breaker with Over-Current protection. The RCBO combines the functionality of an MCB and RCD/RCCB. When there is a current leakage, the RCBO trips the entire circuit. Consequently, internal magnetic/thermal circuit breaker components can trip the electronic device when the circuit is overloaded.

1. Residual Current, or Earth Leakage – Occurs when there is an accidental break in a circuit through poor electrical wiring or DIY accidents such as drilling through a cable when mounting a picture hook or cutting through a cable with the lawn mower. In this instance the electricity must go somewhere and choosing the easiest route travels through the lawnmower or drill to the human causing electric shock.
2. Over-Current takes two forms:
a. Overload – Occurs when too many devices are in use on the circuit, drawing an amount of power which exceeds the capacity of the cable.
b. Short Circuit – Occurs when there is a direct connection between the live and neutral conductors. Without the resistance provided by the normal circuit integrity, electrical current rushes around the circuit in a loop and multiplies the amperage by many thousand times in just milliseconds and is considerably more dangerous than Overload.

Whereas an RCCB is designed solely to protect against earth leakage and an MCB protects only against over-current, an RCBO protects against both types of fault.

In real life, electrical components such as residual current circuit breakers (commonly known as leakage switches) are used in almost every place with electricity. It is mainly used to detect the residual current, compare the residual current value with the reference value, and disconnect the main circuit contact when the residual current value exceeds the reference value. When personal electric shock or grid leakage current exceeds the specified value, the residual current circuit breaker can quickly cut off the faulty power supply in a very short period of time, protect the safety of personal and electrical equipment, and at the same time protect the overload or short circuit of the line and motor, and also It can be used for infrequent switching of lines and infrequent starting of motors, and is a widely used electrical appliance in production and life.

1. The leakage protection relay refers to a leakage protection device that has the function of detecting and judging leakage current, but does not have the function of cutting off and connecting the main circuit. The leakage protection relay is composed of zero-sequence transformer, release and auxiliary contact for output signal. It can cooperate with the automatic switch of high current as the general protection of low-voltage power grid or the leakage, grounding or insulation monitoring protection of main road. When there is leakage current in the main circuit, since the auxiliary contact and the separation release of the main circuit switch are connected in series to form a circuit, the auxiliary contact is connected to the separation release and disconnects the air switch, AC contactor, etc. loop. Auxiliary contacts can also be connected to sound and light signal devices to issue a leakage alarm signal to reflect the insulation status of the line. 2. The leakage protection switch means that it can not only turn on or off the main circuit like other circuit breakers, but also has the function of detecting and judging leakage current. When leakage or insulation damage occurs in the main circuit, the leakage protection switch can be based on The switching element that turns the main circuit on or off as a result of the judgment. It cooperates with fuses and thermal relays to form a fully functional low-voltage switch element.
