1. General

1.1 Function

Control electric circuits.

Protect people against indirect contacts and additional protection against direct contacts.

Protect installations against fire hazard due to insulation faults.

Residual current circuit breakers are used in housing, tertiary sector and industry.

1.2 Selection

Detectable wave form

AC class

Tripping is ensured for slowly increasing sinusoidal AC residual currents.

A class

Tripping is ensured for sinusoidal AC residual currents and for pulsed DC residual currents, whether applied suddenly or increasing slowly.

– S, G/SI class

Tripping is ensured not only for sinusoidal AC residual currents but also for pulsed DC residual currents whether applied suddenly or increasing slowly. S, G/SI type with filters against spurious tripping caused by harmonics and transient surges. With the impact of 8/20us surge 3000A, this high immunity RCCB will still be in stable status.

Tripping sensitivity

10mA – precision instrument leakage protection and bathroom use.

30mA – additional protection against direct contact.

100mA – co-ordinated with the earth system according to the formula IΔn <50/R, to provide protection against indirect contacts; 300mA/500mA – protection against indirect contacts, as well as fire hazard.

Tripping time

Instantaneous – It ensures instantaneous tripping (without time-delay).

Short time delay – It ensures any tripping at least 10ms.

Selective – It ensures total discrimination with a nonselective RCD placed downstream.

Where to Use NL1?

The CHINT NL1-63 2-Pole Type A RCCB CE UKCA 6kA 10kA is a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB/RCD) designed for leakage protection and personal safety in residential electrical panels, commercial buildings, wet locations (bathrooms, kitchens), outdoor power supplies, and anywhere personal protection is critical. This RCCB provides dedicated leakage current detection with high sensitivity (30mA / 100mA / 300mA), automatically disconnecting power when dangerous leakage currents are detected, preventing electric shock hazards.

Why Choose NL1 Series?

Personal Safety Protection - Detects dangerous leakage currents before they cause electric shock
Type A (pulsating DC capable) - Detects both AC and pulsating DC residual currents (modern appliances, LED drivers)
High Sensitivity Options - 30mA / 100mA / 300mA trip settings for different protection levels
Fast Response Time - Trips within 30ms when leakage is detected, well below dangerous exposure times
IEC 61008/61009 Certified - Complies with international residual current device standards
Chint Original Quality - CE, SAA, CCC approved with 2-year warranty

300mA	Equipment / Fire Protection	Main incoming protection, large installations, industrial equipment protection

Type AC vs Type A vs Type B - Which One?

Type	Detects	When to Use
Type AC	Pure AC only	Basic residential with standard resistive loads (heaters, incandescent lights). Most economical.
Type A (Recommended)	AC + Pulsating DC	Modern homes with electronic loads: washing machines, LED drivers, variable speed tools, computers. Recommended for new installations.
Type B	AC + All DC (incl. smooth)	Solar PV systems, EV charging, VFDs, medical equipment, DC-powered installations. Required for DC applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between RCCB and RCBO?

A: RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) provides only leakage protection - it detects earth faults and disconnects power but doesn't protect against overloads or short circuits. RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection) combines RCD + MCB in one device - it protects against leakage AND overcurrent/overload/short-circuit. RCBO saves space in distribution boards and provides complete protection.

Q: 30mA vs 300mA - which sensitivity should I choose?

A: 30mA (or 10mA) is required for personal protection in locations with high shock risk (bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor power, medical facilities). This level protects humans from fatal electric shock. 300mA is used for equipment and fire protection on main incoming circuits - it prevents fires from insulation faults but won't protect against direct contact. Never use 300mA for socket outlet circuits where people may touch appliances.

Q: Do I need Type A or is Type AC sufficient?

A: For new installations, always choose Type A. Modern appliances (washing machines, LED lights, computers, variable speed tools) generate pulsating DC leakage currents that Type AC cannot detect. Type A provides better safety and is now required by updated electrical codes in many countries. Type AC is only suitable for basic installations with purely resistive loads (heaters, incandescent bulbs) and should be considered legacy technology.
