When selecting an RCBO for a single-phase circuit, consider the following factors:
- Rated Current: Ensure the RCBO’s rated current matches or exceeds the maximum current expected in the circuit.
- Sensitivity: Typically 30mA sensitivity is used for personnel protection to detect small leakage currents that could pose a risk of electric shock.
- Type: Choose between A-Type (standard) or AC-Type (for circuits with electronic equipment) depending on the application to avoid unwanted tripping.
