SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC ID 16828 63A

Schneider Electric ID 16828 RCCB

Description

The Schneider Electric 16828 is a robust 4-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) from the proven Multi 9 ID series. It is engineered to provide essential protection against earth leakage faults in three-phase electrical systems. With its 300mA sensitivity, it is primarily designed for fire protection in commercial and industrial applications.

Application

This RCCB is suitable for installation in main distribution boards and sub-distribution boards to protect entire installations or specific circuits against fire hazards caused by insulation faults. It is commonly used in industrial plants, workshops, and commercial buildings.

Country of Origin

Made in Spain.

CO2 Impact

Opting for this pre-owned circuit breaker prevents the emission of approximately 14.4 kg of CO2, which is comparable to the savings from driving a standard car for 72 km.

FAQ

What is the difference between a Type AC and a Type A RCCB?

A Type AC RCCB, like this model 16828, is designed to trip on sinusoidal AC residual currents. A Type A RCCB trips on both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for circuits with modern electronic equipment like inverters or power supplies.

The label specifies “Thermische Vorsicherung 63A gl”. Is this fuse mandatory?

Yes, this specifies the maximum size and type of the backup protection device (fuse or circuit breaker) that should be installed upstream. Using a 63A gL/gG type fuse ensures that the RCCB is protected against short-circuit currents up to its rated conditional short-circuit current (10kA in this case).

What does the 300mA sensitivity rating signify in terms of application?

A 300mA sensitivity is primarily intended for fire protection by detecting larger earth leakage currents that could cause overheating and ignite materials. It is not suitable for direct personnel protection against electric shock, which typically requires a sensitivity of 30mA or less. This device is common in main distribution boards or for protecting specific circuits where fire risk is the main concern.
