Product details

It carries a 40 A rated current at 50 °C and a 10 kA breaking capacity (Icn) at 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, which means it can safely interrupt a fault current up to 10,000 A without welding its contacts or cascading damage upstream. The 100 mA earth leakage sensitivity is sized for circuits where a lower 30 mA threshold would cause nuisance tripping — typically distribution sub-mains, lighting circuits, or equipment with natural leakage. This is a 1P+N device — it switches the live pole and monitors the neutral for leakage, but does not disconnect the neutral on overcurrent. The clip-on mounting snaps onto standard DIN rail, occupying 2 × 9 mm pitches (18 mm total width).

The RCBO is certified to BS EN 61009-1, the harmonized standard for residual current operated circuit breakers with integral overcurrent protection. It is rated for TN earthing systems and is suitable for isolation — the contact position indicator confirms the state of the main contacts. The device is tropicalised (class 2) for use in high-humidity environments up to 95% RH at 55 °C.

The limitation class 3 indicates the RCBO limits let-through energy during a fault, reducing stress on downstream equipment. The toggle control provides local ON/OFF indication and the device can be padlocked (Ø 4 mm padlock) for lockout/tagout during maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the A9D18840 and get current pricing?

The A9D18840 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of the A9D18840?

The A9D18840 has a 10,000 A Icn breaking capacity at 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, meaning it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level.

What earth leakage sensitivity does the A9D18840 have?

The A9D18840 is set at 100 mA earth leakage sensitivity — suitable for distribution sub-mains or circuits where a 30 mA device would nuisance trip.

What compliance standards does the A9D18840 meet?

The A9D18840 is certified to BS EN 61009-1 and is rated for TN earthing systems. It is suitable for isolation and carries IP20 protection for installation inside an enclosure.
