Description
About the Product
The Tripper RCCB 40A DP 240V AC 300mA is a robust & high-performance Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) designed to provide dependable protection against earth leakage faults. It is especially suitable for applications where fire protection & upstream electrical safety are critical priorities rather than direct human shock protection.
With a 40A current rating & a 300mA residual current sensitivity, this RCCB effectively detects higher leakage currents that may lead to insulation failure or electrical fires. The double pole (DP) configuration ensures simultaneous disconnection of both phase & neutral conductors, guaranteeing complete circuit isolation during fault conditions.
How the RCCB Works
The RCCB continuously monitors current flow between phase & neutral conductors:
• Detects imbalance caused by leakage currents
• Identifies abnormal current flow to earth
• Trips automatically when leakage exceeds 300mA
• Disconnects both phase & neutral simultaneously
• Helps prevent fire hazards due to sustained leakage currents
This ensures reliable protection of electrical systems & connected equipment.

FAQs
1. What is an RCCB?
Ans: An RCCB is a protective device that detects earth leakage currents & disconnects the supply to prevent hazards, but it does not provide overload or short circuit protection.
2. What does 300mA sensitivity mean?
Ans: It means the RCCB trips when leakage current exceeds 300mA, typically used for fire protection rather than personal safety.
3. What does DP mean?
Ans: DP (Double Pole) means both phase & neutral connections are disconnected simultaneously.
4. Does this RCCB protect against overload?
Ans: No, RCCBs only provide earth leakage protection. An MCB is required separately for overload & short circuit protection.
5. Where is a 40A 300mA RCCB used?
Ans: It is commonly used in upstream distribution panels, commercial installations, & systems where fire protection is essential.
6. Why use 300mA instead of 30mA RCCB?
Ans: 300mA RCCBs are designed for fire protection & system-level safety, while 30mA RCCBs are intended for protection against electric shock.
7. How is this RCCB installed?
Ans: It is installed on a DIN rail inside a distribution board or electrical panel for easy integration into electrical systems.
