What is the primary function of the NB3L-40 RCBO?
It provides dual protection against residual current (earth leakage) and over-current (overload and short circuit), ensuring both electrical safety and fire prevention in low-voltage systems.
What types of electrical systems is it suitable for?
It’s ideal for TN and IT systems, particularly for mixed loads — resistive, inductive, or with high inrush currents such as motors and transformers.
What is the difference between Type A and Type AC tripping classes?
Type A: Detects both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
Type AC: Detects only sinusoidal alternating currents.
How does the tripping curve affect selection?
Choose the B curve for resistive circuits, C curve for mixed loads, and D curve for circuits with heavy inductive equipment such as compressors or pumps.
Can the NB3L-40 operate in high-temperature environments?
Yes, but current ratings must be derated at higher ambient temperatures — e.g., at 60 °C, the permissible current is approximately 85% of the rated value.
