Schneider Electric DT40 Series RCBO

Description

This is a Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection (RCBO) from the Schneider Electric DT40 series. It combines the functionality of a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) and a Residual Current Device (RCD) into a single, DIN-rail mountable unit. This device offers comprehensive protection for final circuits against short-circuits, cable overloads, and electric shock hazards from direct or indirect contact.

FAQ

A Type AC device, like this Vigi DT40, is designed to trip on sinusoidal AC fault currents. A Type A device trips on both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC fault currents, which are common with modern electronic equipment. For modern installations, Type A is often recommended or required.

Yes, the Vigi DT40 is an add-on block. It clips onto the side of a compatible DT40 series miniature circuit breaker. This modular design allows for flexibility and replacement of individual components.

The 'C' refers to the tripping curve of the circuit breaker. A C-curve breaker is a general-purpose breaker that trips between 5 and 10 times the rated current. It is suitable for most applications, including resistive and inductive loads like lighting and sockets.
