Electrical Safety Guardian for Residential and Commercial Buildings: JCB2LE-40M RCBO

This introduces the JCB2LE-40M,a single-module RCBO offering combined overload and earth leakage protection in a space-saving design for modern electrical installations in homes and businesses.

In a move to enhance electrical safety for modern installations, W9 Group has launched the JCB2LE-40M, a sophisticated residual current circuit breaker with overload protection (RCBO). This innovative device is engineered to meet the growing demand for compact, reliable safety components in consumer units and distribution boards.

The standout feature of the JCB2LE-40M is its space-efficient design. Despite housing both short-circuit/overload protection and sensitive earth leakage protection, the unit fits into a single, 18mm module. This is a significant advantage for electricians and builders working on projects where panel space is at a premium, such as in residential apartment renovations or compact commercial control panels.

Safety is at the core of the product’s design. It offers a high breaking capacity of 6kA, ensuring it can safely interrupt powerful fault currents. With tripping sensitivities of 30mA for personal protection against electric shock or 100mA for enhanced fire prevention, the RCBO provides critical safety layers. It is available in both Type A and Type AC variants, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where different types of electrical equipment are used.

“For installers, the practical benefits are clear,” notes a product manager familiar with the line. “The fact that it switches both the live and neutral poles is a major time-saver during commissioning tests. It ensures complete circuit isolation when tripped, which is a crucial safety practice.”

The RCBO’s versatility is another key strength. Available with B or C tripping curves and a rated current range from 6A to 40A, it can be precisely selected to protect everything from lighting circuits to higher-demand appliance outlets. Top or bottom wiring options provide flexibility for cleaner cabinet layouts and easier installation.

Complying with the stringent IEC 61009-1 standard, the JCB2LE-40M is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, from industrial and commercial buildings to high-rise residential complexes. Its introduction provides specifiers and contractors with a reliable, feature-packed component to build safer electrical systems for the future.
