Clipsal RCBE225/30S Resi MAX Slim RCBO 1P+N 25A 30mA Type A C Curve

Description

Fast-fit residential RCBO with SLIM comb busbar compatibility.

The Clipsal RCBE225/30S is a Resi MAX Slim RCBO delivering combined overcurrent (MCB) and 30 mA Type A residual current protection in a single 18 mm DIN module. It suits standard residential single-phase distribution boards where switchboard space is tight and Type A sensing is required for pulsating d.c. as well as a.c. earth-leakage currents.

Why it Matters

Type A protection for modern Australian loads

Many modern appliances — LED drivers, inverters, EV chargers, variable-speed motors — can produce pulsating d.c. residual currents that Type AC RCDs can miss. Type A sensing responds to both a.c. and pulsating d.c. fault currents, providing safer protection for today's home electronics and consistent with current AS/NZS wiring practice.

Slim design frees switchboard space

At 18 mm wide, the RCBE225/30S occupies a single DIN module. Compared with traditional two-module RCBOs, a full residential board can fit twice as many protected circuits — useful for retrofits and small enclosures where every module counts.

Faster installation with Comb busbar

When paired with the Resi MAX Slim Comb busbar system, Clipsal states installation is up to 10 times faster. Choice of top or bottom line feed also lets the electrician follow existing switchboard wiring conventions without rework.

What does RCBO stand for?
RCBO stands for Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection. It combines the functions of an RCD (safety switch) and an MCB (circuit breaker) into one device, protecting a circuit against both earth-leakage faults and overcurrent from short circuits and overloads.

What is the difference between Type A and Type AC RCDs?
Type AC RCDs detect only sinusoidal a.c. residual currents. Type A RCDs detect both a.c. and pulsating d.c. residual currents, making them suitable for circuits feeding electronics with rectifiers such as LED lighting, inverters and EV charging equipment.

Is the RCBE225/30S built to Australian standards?
Yes. The RCBE225/30S is built to AS/NZS 61009, the Australian and New Zealand standard covering residual current operated circuit breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses.
