Acti9 iCV40 RCBO 1P+N C 16 A 30mA ASI

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iCV40 1P+N C 16 A 30mA ASI RCBO is a comprehensive solution offering protection against both overcurrents and earth leakage. With a nominal current of 16 A and a C tripping curve, it is designed to protect electrical installations in residential and commercial environments, providing safety against overloads, short circuits, and electric shock hazards.

This device is ideal for single-phase circuits, as it includes a protected pole and A-SI type differential protection, with a sensitivity of 30 mA that acts instantaneously. This type of protection detects both alternating currents and pulsating direct currents, ensuring effective protection against potential electrical leaks that could endanger people or cause fires.

The Acti9 iCV40 is designed with a breaking capacity of 6000 A at 230 VAC, complying with stringent international safety standards (EN/IEC 61009-2-1). This RCBO switch also offers the advantage of two exclusive VisiTrip visual indicators, allowing for quick identification of the faulty circuit and type of fault, significantly reducing intervention and repair time. Additionally, its green VisiSafe band guarantees the physical opening of contacts, allowing for safe downstream system maintenance.

Key Features:

• Nominal current: 16 A
• Differential sensitivity: 30 mA
• Tripping curve: Type C (5-10 x In)
• Earth leakage protection class: Type A-SI (instantaneous sensitivity)
• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 6000 A at 230 VAC
• Protection: Short circuits, overloads, earth leakages, and fire hazards

This differential switch features thermal-magnetic technology that ensures fast and effective protection. Thermal protection activates in the event of prolonged overloads, while magnetic protection responds to short circuits, ensuring a quick disconnection to prevent damage to the installation. Moreover, it can operate in networks with a frequency of 50/60 Hz, and its operating voltage is 230 VAC.

The Acti9 iCV40 boasts outstanding mechanical and electrical durability, with up to 20,000 operating cycles, ensuring long life and reliability over time. It also has an IP20 protection rating (or IP40 when installed in modular enclosures), ensuring the device is resistant to unauthorised handling and dust.

Key Technical Data:

• Nominal operating voltage: 230 VAC
• Nominal insulation voltage (Ui): 400 VAC
• Impulse withstand voltage (Uimp): 4 kV
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Breaking capacity: 6000 A according to IEC 61009-2-1
