The WHR120B-030 is a 20A B curve Type B HP heat pump RCBO combining overcurrent and residual-current protection in a single 18mm module. It is intended for inverter-driven heat pump circuits where the equipment manufacturer or circuit design calls for Type B residual-current protection.

Its Type B HP characteristic is designed to detect smooth DC residual currents and operate in the high-frequency conditions associated with modern heat pump systems. The B overcurrent curve is the device's thermal-magnetic trip characteristic and is separate from its Type B residual-current classification. Confirm that both the 20A rating and B curve suit the connected equipment, cable and circuit design.

Installer note: “Type B HP” describes the residual-current detection characteristic; “B curve” describes the overcurrent trip characteristic. These are different specifications.

  • 20A B curve RCBO for correctly specified heat pump circuits
  • Type B HP residual-current protection for smooth DC and high-frequency residual currents
  • 30mA sensitivity for additional protection
  • 10kA breaking capacity
  • 1P+N with switched live and neutral
  • Single-module, 18mm format for DIN rail assemblies
  • Bidirectional design
  • Manufactured to IEC/BS EN 62423 and IEC/BS EN 61009-1

The WHR range is engineered for operation at frequencies above 20kHz, with the manufacturer stating a minimum tripping threshold of 150mA for frequencies above 1kHz. Selection must follow the heat pump manufacturer's instructions and the requirements of the installation design.
