Tesla TRCD2P16E 16 Amp RCD/MCB Safety Switch RCBO 6kA Electronic Double Module 240V IEC61009-1

Description

One 16 amp safety switch, two layers of protection.

The Tesla TRCD2P16E is a two pole 16 amp RCBO safety switch rated at 6kA. Built to IEC61009-1, it delivers earth leakage protection and circuit breaker protection together in one two module unit, isolating the active and neutral conductors on a single phase final circuit.

Why it Matters

RCD and MCB Combined
Rather than wiring a separate residual current device and circuit breaker next to each other, the TRCD2P16E rolls both jobs into a single device. It watches for earth leakage and for overload or short circuit at the same time, and trips on either. For a 16 amp final circuit that means one component does the work of two, and the circuit gets its own dedicated safety switch rather than sharing an upstream RCD with several other circuits. Fitting one unit instead of two also saves room on a crowded rail.

Electronic Type, 6kA Rated
The TRCD2P16E is the electronic version in the Tesla two pole range, carrying a 6000A breaking capacity to IEC61009-1. That rating gives margin on installations where the prospective fault current runs higher than a simple domestic board. Its 240V 50/60Hz rating suits standard Australian single phase supply, while a 10,000 cycle mechanical and 4,000 cycle electrical endurance point to a unit made to be switched regularly. The IP20 rating means it belongs inside an enclosed switchboard rather than out in the open. As the 16 amp model it covers circuits with a slightly higher continuous load than the 10 amp device.

Quicker to Wire and Fault Find
A few design details cut time on the board. A dedicated RCD trip flag makes it obvious when a trip came from earth leakage rather than an overload, so an electrician can diagnose the cause at a glance. Supply can be landed at either the top or the bottom because the device is line load compatible both ways, which helps when wiring into an existing board. And because there is no need to cut the busbar to seat it, fit off stays tidy and takes less labour on a board that may carry several of these devices in a row.

From the Tesla JVL5 Series
This device belongs to the Tesla JVL5 family of combined RCD and MCB safety switches, offered across several current ratings. The electronic 16 amp two pole model protects one final circuit and carries the same two module footprint, IEC61009-1 construction and V08030 approval as the rest of the electronic range, so a switchboard stays uniform from one circuit to the next.

What does the Tesla TRCD2P16E protect against?
It guards against both earth leakage and overcurrent, combining RCD and MCB protection in one IEC61009-1 device for a 16 amp circuit.

Does the TRCD2P16E switch the neutral?
Yes. As a two pole device it isolates both the active and the neutral conductor when it trips or is switched off.

What rating does the TRCD2P16E have?
It is rated 16 amps with a 6kA breaking capacity, electronic type, 240V at 50/60Hz.
