Product details

RCCB recloser with automatic restart logic

The recloser logic operates on a 10-second reclosing time, up to 30 cycles per hour, with a maximum of three consecutive restarts before locking out if the insulation fault persists. Minimum interval between two closings is 180 seconds.

Earthing system compatibility and installation

Occupies 6 x 9 mm pitches (54 mm wide). Depth is 82 mm, height 106 mm. Wire stripping length is 12 mm; tightening torque is 3 N·m.

Listed as current production (active lifecycle stage).

Protection and diagnostics

Manual test function operates above 100 V. Local signalling via a green/red LED indicates RCCB ON/OFF and recloser status. Insulation fault diagnosis stops if a fault is detected; the device restarts only after a transient fault clears. Rated insulation voltage (Ui) is 500 V. Mechanical durability is 4000 open-close cycles. IP20 rated — suitable for enclosed distribution boards only. Compliant with EN 50557 (requirements for automatic reclosing devices for RCCBs). Tropicalisation class 2; relative humidity tolerance 95 % at 55 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy A9CR1240 and how is it quoted?

The A9CR1240 is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing.

What are the key ratings of A9CR1240?

Rated 40 A, 230 V AC, 50 Hz, 30 mA Type A earth leakage. 2-pole, TN-S/TT earthing. Complies with EN 50557.

What is the depth of A9CR1240?

Depth is 82 mm, width 54 mm (6 x 9 mm pitches), height 106 mm.

What does 'Fault reset earth leakage' mean on A9CR1240?

It means the recloser resets automatically after a transient earth leakage fault clears. If the fault persists after three restart attempts, the device locks out and requires manual intervention.
