  • P1RE breakers support auxiliary contacts, enhancing circuit customization and integration.
  • Available in 1P+N and 2/4 pole versions, with AC or A class tripping.
  • Protection rating IP20, covering terminals and front, ensures safety and compliance.

The introduction of the new P1RD type enables installation of auxiliary contacts and connection of both residual current operated and miniature circuit breakers on a single power bar.

They are available up to 63A, in 2 and 4 pole versions with AC or A class tripping, and for residual class tripping, and for residual currents of 30mA and 300mA. A device to padlock the lever is also available.

Protection rating of IP20

Residual current operated circuit breakers with overload protection P1RE. The new P1RE type offers the option of installing auxiliary contacts and features a double actuator lever to differentiate residual current operation from overload protection. They also feature a new isolating barrier on the connection terminals.

This means that the protection rating of IP20 covers not just the front of the product but also the connection terminals, which maintain the protection rating, whatever cable cross-section is used.

They are available up to 40A in the 1P+N version with AC or A class tripping, for residual currents of 30 mA and 300 mA and a type C thermal trip curve

Terminals of the RCDs

The terminals of the RCDs are now geometrically aligned with the terminals of the miniature circuit breakers to allow them to be connected to the power supply busbars.

Additional blocks are now available for this type of equipment, the same ones that can be used for the miniature circuit breakers (perfect compatibility, no need to purchase specific codes).
