The Schneider Electric A9CR8440 is a 4-pole (4P) residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) from the Acti9 REDm series, rated at 40 A with 30 mA earth-leakage sensitivity on a 50 Hz AC network. The 30 mA sensitivity is the standard threshold for personal protection against indirect contact in TN-S and TT earthing systems — it trips before leakage current reaches a level that could cause ventricular fibrillation.
Autotest and diagnostics
This RCCB includes an automatic self-test feature that runs every 10 seconds when line voltage exceeds 195 V. If a fault is detected, the device re-checks every 2 minutes — the insulation fault diagnosis logic identifies persistent leakage and distinguishes it from a transient event. A green LED provides local ON/OFF indication for the RCCB status. Manual test is also available via the toggle control.
Pollution degree 2 per EN 50557, tropicalisation class 2 per IEC 61008. IP20 rated (finger-safe terminals), IK05 impact resistance.
