Description
The WCED WRT106C-030 is a 6A C Curve Type A RCBO with 30mA residual current sensitivity and a 10kA breaking capacity. It combines overload, short-circuit and residual current protection in a single module, with switched live and neutral conductors.
This high-immunity model detects AC and pulsating DC residual currents. It belongs to the bi-directional WRT1 range for domestic, commercial and renewable-energy circuits where the equipment requirements and circuit design specify this rating and protection type.
Key Features
- 6A, C Curve: the current rating and overcurrent trip characteristic of this model.
- Type A, 30mA: AC and pulsating DC residual current detection.
- 10kA breaking capacity: short-circuit protection within the device rating.
- 1P+N switching: disconnects both live and neutral.
- Single-module format: mounts on a 35mm DIN rail.
- IEC/EN 61009-1: the device standard listed by WCED.
Connection guidance: WCED specifies supply connection from the bottom. Follow the device's IN, OUT and LOAD markings and supplied wiring diagram. Do not connect the supply to the load/output terminals; bi-directional performance does not make those terminals interchangeable.
Choosing the Rating and Curve
Select the 6A C Curve model only where it matches the circuit design and equipment manufacturer's instructions. For EV chargers, heat pumps or solar inverters, check the required residual current protection and any additional protective devices. The application name alone does not determine the correct curve or RCBO type.

Installation notes
The WRT106C-030 is the 6A C Curve model. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician using the instructions supplied with the device.
- Mount on a 35mm DIN rail in a compatible consumer unit or distribution board; check the board manufacturer's device and busbar requirements.
- WCED specifies bottom supply connection. Respect the IN, OUT and LOAD markings and the supplied wiring diagram.
- Do not connect the supply to the load/output terminals or treat bi-directional performance as permission to swap the connections.
- Confirm that the 6A rating, C trip curve, 30mA sensitivity and 10kA breaking capacity suit the circuit.
- Use the conductor sizes and terminal tightening instructions specified for the actual device supplied.
FAQs
What rating is the WRT106C-030?
It is the 6A C Curve version, with Type A residual current protection, 30mA sensitivity and a 10kA breaking capacity.
Does bi-directional mean I can swap the supply and load connections?
No. WCED specifies supply connection from the bottom and requires the marked input and output connections to be respected. Follow the supplied diagram and never put the supply on the load/output terminals.
What does Type A detect?
Type A protection detects AC and pulsating DC residual currents. Check the connected equipment's requirements for the necessary residual current protection.
Does it disconnect live and neutral?
Yes. The WRT1 has switched live and neutral conductors in a single-module 1P+N device.
Can I use it for an EV charger, heat pump or solar inverter?
Use it where the equipment instructions and circuit design specify a 6A C Curve Type A RCBO. Check any additional protection requirements and consumer-unit compatibility before selection.
How do I choose between the B and C Curve versions?
B and C identify different overcurrent trip characteristics. Choose the curve required by the equipment instructions and circuit design, taking starting current and fault disconnection requirements into account.
