Description

The Timeguard TX2432 32A 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 32A B-curve protection.

Understand the current and protection ratings

The 32A 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 cable, connected equipment and installation conditions must all be considered when selecting the device. Matching the amperage alone does not establish suitability.

FAQ's

What is the Timeguard TX2432?

It is a residual-current circuit-breaker with overcurrent protection, commonly called an RCBO. This model combines 32A B-curve overcurrent protection with 30mA Type A residual-current protection and a 6kA breaking capacity.

How is an RCBO different from an MCB?

An MCB provides overload and short-circuit protection. An RCBO also incorporates residual-current protection to detect an imbalance between line and neutral currents.

What is the difference between 32A and 30mA?

32A is the rated circuit current. The 30mA figure is the rated residual operating current of the earth-leakage protection. They describe separate functions.

Does 30mA protection guarantee that an electric shock cannot occur?

No. It provides additional protection in appropriate installations but does not replace earthing, safe wiring, isolation or other protective measures.

What does Type A mean?

Type A residual-current protection responds to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. It should not be treated as equivalent to Type B residual-current protection.

Why is it described as Type A and B-curve?

Type A describes residual-current detection. B-curve describes the overcurrent operating characteristic. The classifications relate to different parts of the RCBO.

What does solid neutral mean?

The neutral remains connected when the protected line pole opens. A switched-neutral RCBO also disconnects the neutral.

Can it detect earth leakage with an unswitched neutral?

Yes. Solid neutral describes the switching arrangement. The device still incorporates the specified 30mA residual-current protection.
