Description
The WAR280-030 is a 2 pole, 80A Type A RCD with high immunity, providing robust residual current protection for single-phase circuits with higher load demands. Compliant with BS EN 61008-1 and BS EN 61008-2-1, it’s built for consumer units, EV charge points, and commercial applications where nuisance tripping must be minimised.
High immunity RCDs are engineered to ignore transient disturbances and harmonics that cause false trips in standard devices, while still disconnecting safely under genuine fault conditions. At 80A rated current, this model offers extra capacity compared to the 63A version, making it suitable for heavier domestic and small commercial installs.
Installer Tip: Step up to the 80A 2-pole model where single-phase circuits exceed 63A demand, or where EV chargers and equipment with high inrush currents are installed.
Key Features
- 80A, 2 Pole – protects single-phase line + neutral circuits
- High Immunity – prevents nuisance trips from harmonics/surges
- Type A – detects AC and pulsed DC residual currents
- Compliance: BS EN 61008-1 & 61008-2-1
- DIN rail mounted, compact design
- Works with consumer units and EV-ready boards

FAQs
Is this suitable for larger single-phase EV chargers?
Yes – the 80A rating provides extra capacity for high-demand EV units or small commercial charging bays.
What does high immunity add over a standard RCD?
It resists false trips caused by harmonics or surge activity, while still disconnecting on genuine residual current faults.
Can it be used in domestic installs?
Yes – it’s often used in larger domestic properties with heavy loads or EV circuits that require higher current handling.
When should I choose the 80A over the 63A version?
Select 80A when the circuit demand is closer to or above 63A, or when headroom is required for future expansion.
