An RCCB is a sensitive safety device designed to automatically disconnect the power supply when a residual current leakage to earth is detected, protecting equipment and preventing electrical shocks.
2P stands for 2-Pole, meaning the device monitors and controls both the Live and Neutral lines in a single-phase electrical installation for complete protection.
An MCB protects electrical circuits against overcurrent and short circuits, while an RCCB specifically protects against current leakage to earth and electrical shock hazards.
RCCBs are typically installed in standard distribution boxes in residential, commercial, or industrial applications upstream of the branch circuits.
It is recommended to test the RCCB monthly by pressing the integrated "Test" button to ensure the internal tripping mechanism is working properly.
