What is a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)?

Types of Residual Current Circuit BreakersAdvantages and Disadvantages of Residual Current Circuit BreakersHow to Choose and Install A Residual Current Circuit BreakerSummaryA residual current circuit breaker(RCCB) is an electrical safety device that detects and interrupts an electrical circuit when there is a leakage current to the ground. It protects people and equipment from electric shocks, fires, and other hazards caused by faulty wiring, insulation failure, or accidental contact with live parts. An RCCB works onSee more on electrical4u Wikipedia

All it takes is damaged insulation or leakage currents to cause residual current, and not only leads to system damage but also means that personal protection can no longer be guaranteed.

Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent Protection

The protection against short circuits and over-loading is designed like with a miniature circuit breaker (MCB), i.e. the current flows through the circuit breaker, where a bimetallic strip heats up, deforms
