EATON FRBM6-B16/3N/003-A RCBO, 16 A, 30 mA, Type A, B Curve, 3P+N, 6 kA

Electrical faults and residual currents pose serious risks to both people and property. The EATON FRBM6-B16/3N/003-A combines miniature circuit breaker and residual current protection in a single compact device, ensuring reliable protection against overload, short circuit, and earth leakage currents. With a rated current of 16 A and a residual current sensitivity of 30 mA, this RCBO is ideal for safeguarding circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.

Who is it for

Electricians, panel builders, and facility managers who need dependable combined protection for three-phase circuits with neutral. It is especially suited for installations where space is limited, as it occupies only 4 modules (70 mm) on a DIN rail.

Tips

Always verify that the RCBO's rated current and residual current sensitivity match the circuit requirements. For circuits with electronic loads that may produce pulsating DC residual currents, type A protection is essential. Ensure proper torque on terminal screws according to manufacturer specifications to maintain reliable connections.
