Why Should We Use Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs)?
Electricity powers our homes, workplaces, and industries, but it also carries risks if not managed safely. One of the most serious hazards is electric shock caused by leakage currents. Traditional circuit breakers such as MCBs protect against overcurrent and short circuits, but they are not designed to detect small leakages that can be fatal. This is where Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) play a vital role.
What is an RCCB?
An RCCB is a safety device that instantly disconnects the circuit when it detects a leakage current flowing to earth. Even a small leakage of 30mA can be life-threatening, and RCCBs are engineered to sense and cut off power within milliseconds, preventing serious injury or fire risks.
Why Are RCCBs Essential?
Protection Against Electric Shock
RCCBs safeguard people by cutting off electricity the moment a leakage is detected, offering life-saving protection in homes, offices, and industries.
Fire Prevention
Leakage currents can cause insulation failures and sparks that lead to electrical fires. RCCBs minimize this risk by ensuring timely disconnection.
Enhanced Safety for Modern Applications
With the rise of sensitive electronics, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicle charging, RCCBs provide the advanced protection needed in today’s electrical infrastructure.
Compliance with International Standards
Using RCCBs ensures your electrical installation meets global safety standards such as IEC/EN 61008, providing peace of mind for both installers and end-users.
