Legrand 402036 RX3 aardlekschakelaar 25A 2-polig 30mA type A 230V AC 2 modules

In residential and commercial electrical installations, residual current protection is non-negotiable for personal safety. The Legrand 402036 RX3 residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is a 2-pole, 25 A device with a 30 mA trip sensitivity, designed for 230 V AC circuits. It detects leakage currents and disconnects the supply within milliseconds, preventing electric shock and reducing fire risk. This Type A RCCB is suitable for circuits with electronic loads that may produce pulsating DC residual currents. Its compact 2-module width fits standard DIN rails, making it ideal for distribution boards in homes, offices, and light industrial settings.
