Panel RCD 1x16A

An RCD (Residual Current Device), or residual current circuit breaker, is an electrical safety device designed to detect earth leakage currents and quickly cut off the power supply. Its main function is to protect people from potentially fatal electric shocks.

This RCD has a rated current of 16 amperes (16A). This means it is designed to operate in circuits where the normal current does not exceed 16 amperes.

No, an RCD is not a traditional circuit breaker. While a circuit breaker protects against overcurrent and short circuits, an RCD is specifically designed to protect against electric shocks by detecting earth leakage currents. It is often used alongside a circuit breaker for comprehensive protection.

Yes, the PAN RCD 1X16A is a product from the BEP brand, known for its marine electrical equipment. It is designed for use in nautical applications, providing essential protection against electric shocks in marine environments.

This RCD is manufactured by BEP, a leader in power management and distribution solutions for marine applications.

This RCD is designed for alternating current (AC) systems. Residual current devices (RCD) are used to detect current leakage in AC circuits.

This product is manufactured in New Zealand (NZ).

This RCD is designed for panel mounting. This means it is flush-mounted in an electrical panel or control panel.

Yes, RCDs are usually equipped with a test button. It is recommended to test the RCD regularly by pressing this button to ensure it is functioning correctly and trips as expected.

No, the PAN RCD 1X16A is a residual current device and does not protect against overcurrent or short circuits. Its function is specifically to detect earth leakage current. For complete protection, it must be used in conjunction with a circuit breaker that handles overcurrent and short circuits.

This RCD is designed to operate with a supply voltage of 230V AC. It is important to ensure that your system's voltage matches this specification for safe and correct operation.

No, this RCD is specifically designed for 230V AC systems. It is not compatible with 110V AC systems.

Yes, as a BEP product, the PAN RCD 1X16A is designed to integrate into BEP marine electrical distribution systems. It can be combined with other BEP circuit breakers and panels to create a complete and secure electrical system.

Yes, an RCD is typically installed upstream of a group of circuits or a distribution panel to protect all downstream circuits connected to it against earth leakage currents. It can therefore protect multiple downstream circuits.

Yes, BEP products are generally covered by the manufacturer's warranty. For specific details regarding the duration and warranty conditions, please refer to the information provided by the manufacturer or retailer at the time of purchase.
