30mA residual current circuit breaker for 230V electrical circuit in converted vans

Essential in an electrical circuit connected to 230V domestic current, the 30mA residual current circuit breaker detects current leakage caused by insulation faults to effectively protect you against electrocution and fire risks.

This residual current circuit breaker immediately cuts off the circuit power supply in case of accidental contact with an electrical conductor (current), thus ensuring the safety of your electrical system and your protection within your living space in a converted vehicle.

It occupies 2 modules in an electrical panel and is suitable for single-phase circuits.

How the 30mA residual current circuit breaker works

This Type A residual current circuit breaker is an important safety device that detects alternating currents and pulsed direct currents, making it particularly effective for protecting your electronic equipment and small appliances in your converted van. Its operation is based on detecting current leakage between active conductors (phase and neutral) and earth.

As soon as a current leakage exceeding 30mA is detected, it immediately cuts off the power supply to the affected circuit. This level of sensitivity is ideal for preventing electrocution risks and electrical fires.

Monitoring incoming and outgoing currents: The residual current circuit breaker is connected to an electrical circuit and continuously measures the current passing through the phase (which powers appliances) and the current returning through the neutral. Under normal conditions, these two currents are equal.

Current leakage: If a current leakage occurs, this means that part of the current has not returned through the neutral but has escaped elsewhere, often to earth. This situation can occur in case of insulation fault, faulty appliance or when a person accidentally comes into contact with a live conductor (risk of electrocution).

Current difference detection (fault): The residual current circuit breaker compares the incoming current (phase) and outgoing current (neutral). If the difference between the two exceeds a predefined threshold, typically 30 mA for personal protection (or 300 mA for fire protection), the residual current circuit breaker detects an anomaly. This 30 mA threshold is designed to prevent serious accidents in case of contact with electrical current.

Circuit breaking: When a current leakage is detected, the residual current circuit breaker immediately cuts off the power supply to the affected circuit, thus interrupting the flow of electricity and protecting people and equipment. This tripping is almost instantaneous, preventing electrocution or fires.
