SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC ID 16828 63A

Schneider Electric ID 16828 Residual Current Circuit Breaker

Description

The Schneider Electric 16828 is a high-performance 4-pole Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) from the ID series. It is engineered to provide protection against earth leakage faults in electrical circuits. This device is essential for preventing electric shock and fire hazards by automatically disconnecting the power supply when an imbalance is detected. With a rated current of 63A and a sensitivity of 300mA, it is suitable for equipment and fire protection in various installations.

Application

This RCCB is primarily used for equipment protection and fire prevention in commercial and industrial electrical distribution boards. Its 300mA sensitivity rating makes it ideal for protecting circuits from insulation faults that could lead to fire, rather than for direct personal protection against electric shock.

Country of Origin

This product is made in Spain.

CO2 Impact

By purchasing this pre-owned but fully functional device, you are contributing to a circular economy and avoiding approximately 14.4 kg of CO2 emissions associated with the manufacturing of a new unit. This saving is comparable to the emissions from driving a standard passenger car for 72 kilometers.

FAQ

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

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

Question?
This RCCB has a 300mA sensitivity. Is it suitable for personal protection?

No. A 300mA sensitivity rating is intended for equipment and fire protection from earth faults. For personal protection against electric shock (e.g., in sockets or bathrooms), a high-sensitivity RCCB of 30mA or 10mA is required.

Question?
Can this 4P RCCB be used in a single-phase (1P+N) system?

Yes, a 4-pole RCCB can be used in a single-phase system, but it is not typical or cost-effective. You would connect the line and neutral to two of the poles according to the manufacturer’s instructions, leaving the other two poles unused. However, a 2-pole RCCB is the correct device for a standard single-phase installation.
