Schneider Electric R9R22440 aardlekschakelaar 3P+N 40A 30mA

Electrical faults can lead to dangerous leakage currents that standard circuit breakers cannot detect. The Schneider Electric R9R22440 residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) provides essential protection against electric shock and fire risks by instantly disconnecting the circuit when a residual current of 30 mA is detected. This 3-pole + neutral device is rated for 40 A and is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Who is it for

This RCCB is ideal for electricians, panel builders, and facility managers who need reliable earth leakage protection for three-phase circuits with neutral. It is commonly used in distribution boards to protect people and equipment in homes, offices, workshops, and light industrial environments.
