Description

6A RCBO – Hager ADA306G Type A, B Curve, 1 Module

The Hager ADA306G 6A RCBO is a compact, single-module device that integrates overcurrent and residual current protection. It is designed specifically for low-load circuits, such as lighting and control systems. Because of its 6A rating, it provides precise protection where sensitivity is crucial.


Why the Hager ADA306G 6A RCBO Is the Right Choice

First of all, this RCBO features a B curve tripping profile, which means it disconnects at 3 to 5 times the rated current. As a result, it’s ideal for lighting or heating circuits where inrush currents are minimal.

Moreover, the unit includes a 30mA Type A RCD, which detects both AC and pulsating DC leakage currents. Consequently, it significantly improves safety by reducing the risk of electric shock and fire hazards.

In addition, the 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity makes the device robust enough to handle fault conditions in domestic environments. This ensures peace of mind for installers and end users alike.


Easy Installation and Space-Saving Design

Because it is only one module wide, this RCBO is perfect for tight consumer units. Furthermore, the reduced height offers more space for wiring, which is especially helpful in busy installations.

The 300mm flying neutral lead adds further flexibility, while the bottom DIN-rail clip makes mounting or replacing the device straightforward. Therefore, it speeds up installation and makes servicing more efficient.

Frequently asked questions

An RCBO in a single-phase system combines the functions of an RCD (Residual Current Device) and an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) into a single unit. It provides protection against earth leakage (residual current) and overcurrents (such as short circuits and overloads) for individual circuits.

RCBOs are commonly used in consumer units (fuse boxes) in single-phase electrical installations to provide enhanced protection for circuits supplying sockets, lighting, appliances, and other electrical loads.

RCBOs offer the advantage of combined protection in a compact unit, which saves space and simplifies installation. Each RCBO protects a specific circuit against both earth faults (RCD function) and overcurrents (MCB function), reducing the complexity of wiring and fault finding.

In certain circumstances, such as circuits supplying socket outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors, RCBOs may be required by electrical regulations (e.g., BS 7671) to ensure high levels of safety. Local regulations and installation standards may also specify their use.

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.
