Mini Guardian Stops Shocks & Shorts

Tiny powerhouse protects homes & buildings from electric dangers: shocks, fires, and overloads, all in one smart switch!

Move over, single-taskers! The JCR1-40 1P+N Mini RCBO is the Swiss Army knife of electrical safety, packing serious protective punch into its single-module frame. Think of it as a vigilant guard standing watch over your circuits, ready to leap into action at the slightest sign of trouble – whether it’s a potentially lethal shock hazard, a fire-starting short circuit, or just wires getting too hot under the collar.

This little marvel isn’t just strong (boasting a hefty 6kA breaking capacity – meaning it can interrupt a massive, lightning-like fault current), it’s also incredibly precise. Need protection sensitive enough to detect a tiny 30mA leakage current (the kind that could give you a nasty shock)? Or perhaps 100mA or 300mA for different applications? The JCR1-40 has you covered, offering both Type A and Type AC sensitivity for various electrical gremlins. It handles currents from a whisper (2A) up to a robust 40A, making it versatile for many circuits.

What makes it extra smart? It features Switched LIVE and Neutral. Unlike older breakers that might only cut the live wire, this RCBO isolates both conductors when it trips. Why does this matter? Imagine a doctor only treating one symptom when two are present – not ideal! Cutting both wires provides complete isolation for faulty circuits, making repairs safer for electricians and significantly speeding up testing during installation or commissioning (“neutral pole switching significantly reduces the installation and commissioning test time”). Plus, the handy contact indicator gives a clear visual sign if it’s tripped.

Built tough as Electronic Type protection, it complies rigorously with the international safety standard IEC 61009-1 (EN61009-1). Connection is a breeze from the bottom, and installers should remember the Recommended Torque: 2.5N.m for secure terminals. With its double pole switching ensuring full isolation, this mini RCBO is the essential guardian for consumer units and distribution boards everywhere – safeguarding homes, towering high-rise buildings, bustling commercial spaces, and demanding industrial sites. It’s not just a breaker; it’s comprehensive circuit security in a single, compact module.
