RCBO’s classification according to EN 61009-1 Ed.
2012
RCBO’s may be classified according to:
• The behavior in presence of dc current
(types for general use).
- Type AC
- Type A
• The time-delay (in presence of residual current)
- RCD’s without time delay: Type for general use
- RCD’s with time delay: Type S for selectivity
Type AC
The type AC RCBOs are designed to release with
sinusoidal residual currents which occur suddenly or
slowly rise in magnitude.
Type A
Certain devices during faults can be the source
of non-sinusoidal earth leakage currents
(DC components) due to the electronic
components e.g.: diodes, thyristors…..
The type A RCBO’s are designed to ensure that under
this conditions the residual current devices operate
on sinusoidal residual current and also with
pulsating direct current(*) which occur suddenly
or slowly rise in magnitude.
(*) Pulsating direct current: current of pulsating wave form which assumes, in
each period of the rated power frequency, the value 0 or a value not
exceeding 0.006 A dc during one single interval of time, expressed in
angular measure of at least 150º.
Type Ai
Type AI and ACI (High immunity to nuisance
tripping)
Electric equipment incorporates more and more
electronic components which causes nuisance
tripping to the conventional 30mA RCBO’s type A
or AC (always in the most critical moment like
weekends, areas with no people presence…) due
to overvoltages or high frequency currents produced
by atmospheric disturbances, lighting equipment
(electronic balasters), computers, appliances,
connections to long cables which induce a high
capacity to ground, etc.
Some times the filter incorporated on the standard
RCBO’s type AC which are protected to prevent
nuisance tripping against peak currents up to 250 A
8/20 μs, does not avoid 100% unwanted tripping.
Installations with lighting equipment incorporating
electronic balasters or computers.
The most typical problem in these installations is the
tripping of the RCBO when switching the equipment
ON-OFF. It is recommended that, in case several
devices are installed in the same line, the sum of all
leakages shall not exceed 1/3 lΔn since any
disturbance in the line can trip the RCBO. For this kind
of installation it is recommended to split up circuits.
RCBO’s type AI have a tripping characteristic
according to EN 61009-1 2012.
Type AC .....................250 A 8/20 μs
Type A,Ai ..........................3000 A 8/20 μs
Selectivity
Vertical selectivity
In an installation with RCBO’s installed in series we
need to pay special attention to the vertical
selectivity, in order to ensure that in case of earth
leakage only the RCBO which is immediately
upstream of the fault point will operate.
Selectivity is ensured when the characteristic
time/current of the upstream RCD (A) is above the
characteristic time /current of the downstream RCBO
(B). To obtain vertical selectivity we should take into
consideration the following parameters:
The RCD placed at the top of the installation shall
be Type S. The residual operating current of the
RCBO installed downstream shall have a lower
residual operating current than the RCD installed
upstream according to:
Horizontal selectivity
To have horizontal selectivity in an installation with
RCBO’s we need to avoid the use of RCBO’s in
cascading. Every single circuit of the installation
shall be provided with an RCBO of the appropriate
residual operating current.

The release is initiated by a bimetal strip in case of

Reference ambient temperature is 30°C.
temperature on the rated current
The maximum value of the current which can flow
through an RCBO depends of the nominal current of the
RCBO, the conductor cross-section as well as of the
ambient air temperature.
The values shown in the table below are for devices in
free air. For devices installed with other modular devices
in the same switchboard a correction factor (K) shall be
applied relative to the mounting situation of the RCBO, the
ambient temperature and the number of main circuits in
the installation (EN 60439-1):

* From 10A to 20A special thermal tripping curves adapted

to according Norway NEK400:2010 installation rules
Calculation example
Within a distribution panel consisting of eightRCBO’s
2PC16 with an operating ambient temperature of 45°C,
which is the highest temperature at which the RCBO can
operate without unwanted tripping.
Calculation
The correction factor K=0,7, for use in an eight circuit
installation: 16A x 0,7= 11,2A
As the RCBO is working at 45°C, another factor shall be
applied (90% = 0,9):
In at 45°C = In at 30°C x 0,9 = 11,2A x 0,9 = 10,1A
The thermal calibration of the RCBO’s was carried out at an
ambient temperature of 30°C. Ambient temperatures different
from 30°C infl uence the bimetal and this results in
earlier or later thermal tripping.

Power Losses
The power losses are calculated by measuring the voltage
drop between the incoming and the outgoing terminals of
the device at rated current.
Association (Back-up protection)
Association consists the use of an MCB with lower
breaking capacity than the presumed one at the
place of its installation. If another protective device
installed upstream is co-ordinated so that the
energy let-through by these two devices does
not exceed that which can be withstood without
damage by the device placed downstream and
the conductor protected by these devices.
In the event of short-circuit, both protective devices
will disconnect, therefore the selectivity between
them is considered as partial.
Association reduces the cost of the installation in
case of high short-circuit currents.
To obtain association between a breaker and a
protective device, several conditions linked to the
components characteristic must be fullfilled. Those
have been defined by calculation and testing.

Compact RCBO. Let-through energy I2t
The benefit of an RCBO in short-circuit conditions, is
its ability to reduce the value of the let-through energy
that the short-circuit would be generating.
