Clipsal RCBE232/30S Resi MAX Slim RCBO 1P+N 32A 30mA Type A C Curve

Description

Fast-fit residential RCBO with SLIM comb busbar compatibility.

The Clipsal RCBE232/30S 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. Rated at 32 A, it sits at the top of the Resi MAX Slim RCBO range and suits residential single-phase circuits 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.

Top-of-range current rating in a slim footprint

At 32 A, the RCBE232/30S covers the upper end of the Resi MAX Slim RCBO range. Clipsal builds the Slim range around a compact 18 mm module design, so higher-rated circuits don't have to give up the space savings the range is built for.

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.

Why choose the 32 A rating?
The RCBE232/30S is the highest current rating in the Resi MAX Slim RCBO range, which spans 6 A to 32 A. It suits circuits where the connected load calls for 32 A protection, built to Clipsal's compact 18 mm Slim module design.
