Schneider Electric, a global energy technology company, has expanded its Acti9 range with the launch of the Acti9 iC60 H3, a compact three-phase residual current circuit breaker (RCBO) with overcurrent protection for commercial and industrial applications.
The device is designed to provide protection against overloads, earth faults, and short circuits, while supporting compliance with the requirements of BS 7671.
According to Schneider Electric, the new RCBO has been developed to reduce the amount of space required within distribution boards.
The device occupies three modules, compared with seven modules for the previous design, allowing more efficient use of available panel space.
Designed for monitoring and easier installation
The Acti9 iC60 H3 is compatible with Schneider Electric’s PowerTag energy sensors, enabling circuit-level energy monitoring.
Energy data can be integrated into the company’s EcoStruxure Energy Hub platform and building management systems to provide visibility of energy consumption and support operational decision-making.
Schneider Electric says the RCBO also incorporates Type A residual current device (RCD) technology for applications with electronic loads, alongside solid neutral and voltage-dependent technology.
The company adds that the reduced number of wiring connections is intended to simplify installation and make it easier to upgrade from miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) to RCBOs.
The Acti9 iC60 H3 RCBO is now available through Schneider Electric’s distributor network.
