PRODUCT INFORMATION
**MINI RCBO series (RTAM*BD)
Bi-directional MINI RCBO with switched LINE and NEUTRAL. Used for the protection against overload, short circuit, and earth leakage in solar applications or where current flows in both directions. Type A for AC and pulsating DC sensitivity with a short circuit capacity of 6kA with a maximum rating of 40A. Compact in size increasing working space within a FuseBox consumer unit making installation, connection, and testing easier and quicker. Flying Neutral cable can be cut to suit but should be terminated.
TESTING
Line and Neutral conductors DO NOT NEED TO BE disconnected for IR (insulation resistance).
After installation and testing of this product, it is essential that the INSTRUCTION LEAFLET is available for reference
- 1b RCBO must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the current IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671.
- 1c Total load must not exceed the rating of the RCBO or any additional limitation.
Installation
- 2a RCBO range designed to fit FuseBox consumer units and modular enclosures.
- 2b 35mm top hat din rail mounting.
- 2c Clip securely onto the din rail making sure the din rail clip at the bottom is pushed in, locking the RCBO onto the din rail, ensure the lever is in the OFF position.
- 2d Cut, dress and connect cables as shown in the wiring diagram.
Connections
- 3a Before powering up the circuit check all connections are TORQUED. Loose connections cause fires!!!!
- 4 Testing
- 4a On completion of the installation, it must be tested in accordance with the latest edition of the IET Wiring Regulations for Electrical Installations (BS 7671).
Operation of the TEST button on RCBO
- When newly fitted systems do not trip on the TEST button or use the RCD tester the problem is normally caused by an earth-to-neutral fault on the circuit (PME supply). Installers can easily check the RCBO by removing the LOAD connections on the RCBO and applying power. If the TEST button works the fault is in the circuit.
RCBO TEST
RCBOs ARE MANUFACTURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH IEC 61009-1 AND MUST BE TESTED TO THIS SPECIFICATION USING A CALIBRATED TEST METER.
General type
- 0.5IΔn RCBO will not trip
- 1IΔn RCBO must trip within 300ms
- 5IΔn RCBO must trip within 40ms
What to do if an RCBO trips
- Reset tripped RCBO to ON position
- If RCBO trips again then disconnect all appliances connected to this circuit.
- Switch the RCBO to the ON position and connect 1 appliance at a time to see which one trips the RCBO.
- Once the faulty appliance has been identified, DO NOT USE the appliance until it has been checked.
- Switch RCBO to ON position.
- If fault does not clear phone a qualified electrician to check the installation
