10kA RCBOs for Higher Fault Level Installations

10kA RCBOs combine overload, short circuit, and residual current protection in one device, with a higher breaking capacity than standard 6kA models. They are typically used where the installation has a higher prospective fault current and a stronger-duty RCBO is needed for the board design.

This range includes Type A 10kA RCBOs in multiple current ratings and curve types, making them suitable for commercial boards, specialist domestic installs, and modern circuits where both residual current protection and higher short-circuit performance matter.

Quick answer: A 10kA RCBO is used when the circuit needs combined MCB and RCD protection with a 10kA breaking capacity, typically in installations where fault levels are too high for a lower-rated device to be the right fit.

The main difference between a 6kA and 10kA RCBO is the amount of fault current the device can safely interrupt. That makes 10kA devices a common choice for more demanding board layouts, higher fault level environments, and installations where the design calls for extra short-circuit performance.

  • 10kA breaking capacity – for installations with higher prospective fault current
  • Type A residual current detection – suitable for AC and pulsating DC residual current
  • B & C curve options – to suit different load and inrush conditions
  • Suitable for commercial and specialist circuits – where a stronger-duty RCBO is needed
  • Available in multiple ratings – covering a wide range of final circuit requirements

Choosing a 10kA RCBO

A 10kA RCBO combines residual-current and overcurrent protection with a 10kA rated breaking capacity. Select it only after confirming the prospective fault current, circuit rating, trip curve, residual-current characteristics and compatibility with the board.

B Curve 10kA RCBOs

Commonly considered for suitable final circuits with relatively low inrush current. The installation design determines the required amp rating and disconnection performance.

View B Curve RCBOs →

C Curve 10kA RCBOs

Can suit compatible motor, pump or inverter-led circuits with higher starting current, subject to fault-loop and equipment requirements.

View C Curve RCBOs →

Multi-Pole RCBOs

Selected three- and four-pole devices support suitable three-phase applications. Confirm conductor switching and residual-current monitoring arrangements.

Specification Checklist

  • Fault level: verify that 10kA breaking capacity suits the installation point
  • Circuit rating: coordinate rated current with the load and conductor
  • Trip curve: match inrush characteristics and required disconnection times
  • RCD type and sensitivity: select from the equipment and protective function
  • Assembly compatibility: check board system, busbar, terminals and pole arrangement
