FAQ

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

This DPNa vigi is a Type AC device, designed to detect sinusoidal AC fault currents. Modern equivalents are often Type A, which detect both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC fault currents, offering broader protection for circuits with electronic equipment.

How do I properly test the functionality of this DPNa vigi RCBO?

The device features a white ‘T’ button for testing. This test should be performed regularly (as indicated, ‘test monthly’) by pressing the button with the circuit live. A correct operation will cause the breaker to trip immediately. If it does not trip, it must be replaced.

Can this 4.5kA breaker be used in an installation requiring a 6kA breaking capacity?

No. The breaking capacity (rated short-circuit capacity) must be equal to or greater than the prospective short-circuit current (PSCC) at the point of installation. Using a 4.5kA (4500A) breaker in a 6kA system is unsafe and non-compliant with electrical standards.
