The Schneider Electric A9TDE3613 is an Acti9 iCV40N ARC RCBO — a combined residual-current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection, rated 13 A, Curve B, 1P+N, for 50 Hz AC networks. It integrates arc-fault detection (AFDD) per EN/IEC 62606, so it protects against series and parallel arcing faults that a standard MCB or RCD alone would miss. The 6 kA Icn (10 kA Icu per EN/IEC 60947-2) breaking capacity handles typical domestic and light commercial fault levels.
The 13 A rated current fits final subcircuits feeding lighting, socket outlets, or small appliances in a 230 V single-phase installation. Arc-fault detection (AFDD) per EN/IEC 62606 adds a layer of fire prevention — the device distinguishes harmless arc signatures (motor brushes, switch arcing) from dangerous series and parallel arcs. This is increasingly specified in sleeping-accommodation circuits (hotels, hospitals, student housing) and in insurance-driven installations. The local signalling LED shows ON, OFF, and fault-trip status, including a specific indication for arc-fault trip, which speeds troubleshooting.
Tunnel terminals accept 1–16 mm² rigid or 1–10 mm² flexible cable; tighten to 2 N·m. Cable entry from top or bottom, wire stripping length 14 mm.
