Timeguard TX2416 16A 30mA Solid Neutral RCBO B Curve 6kA, 30mA Type A, Uni-Directional
Estimated delivery time: Estimated delivery tomorrow*
Description
The Timeguard TX2416 16A 30mA Type A RCBO combines overload, short-circuit and residual-current protection in one compact device. Designed for Timeguard TX series consumer units, it has a B-curve overcurrent characteristic, a 6kA breaking capacity and a single-module housing.
It is an option for electricians selecting protective devices for a compatible installation or replacing an existing RCBO where the circuit requires 16A B-curve protection.
Understand the ratings before ordering
The 16A rating relates to the circuit’s overcurrent protection. The 30mA rating is the rated residual operating current of the earth-leakage protection.
Type A describes the residual-current function’s response to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. B-curve describes a separate function: the breaker’s response to a high overcurrent.
The connected equipment, cable protection and installation requirements must all be considered when selecting the device.
Solid neutral and unidirectional operation
This model has a solid neutral, which remains connected when the protected line pole opens. It should be distinguished from a switched-neutral RCBO when checking the installation’s isolation requirements.
The TX2416 is also unidirectional. Supply and load connections must follow the manufacturer’s markings, and the device must not be selected for a circuit requiring bidirectional power flow.
Practical terminals and maintenance features
Top terminals accept conductors up to 10mm², with a specified tightening torque of 1.2Nm. Bottom terminals accept up to 25mm², with a tightening torque of 2.5Nm.
Terminal blanking plates help prevent incorrect cable or busbar insertion. A test button and contact position indicator are included, and the RCBO can be removed without removing the busbar once the assembly has been safely isolated.
Measuring 18mm wide × 85mm high × 73mm deep, it mounts onto a 35mm DIN rail. Timeguard provides a five-year guarantee, subject to its applicable terms.
Manufacturer compatibility is limited to Timeguard TX series consumer units.
