Description
Timeguard TX2506 6A 30mA Type A Bidirectional RCBO β B-Curve
The Timeguard TX2506 is a 6A, 30mA Type A RCBO with a B-curve overcurrent characteristic and 6kA breaking capacity. It combines overload, short-circuit and residual-current protection for an individual circuit in a compatible Timeguard TX series consumer unit.
This model has one protected pole plus switched neutral. Both line and neutral disconnect when the device trips, making its switching arrangement different from a solid-neutral RCBO.
Designed for power flow in either direction
The TX2506 is bidirectional, allowing power to flow through the device in either direction within its specified ratings and installation requirements.
This characteristic matters when selecting protection for circuits that may receive power from more than one direction. Timeguard identifies its bidirectional range for domestic solar PV and battery installations, but the suitability of this exact 6A Type A device must still be checked against the equipment and circuit design.
Bidirectional operation does not change the current rating or replace the need to select the correct residual-current protection.
Understand the three protection ratings
The 6A rating relates to the circuitβs overcurrent protection. The 30mA rating is the rated residual operating current of the earth-leakage protection. 6kA is the short-circuit breaking capacity.
Type A residual-current protection responds to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. B-curve describes the separate overcurrent operating characteristic.
Compact fitting with clearly specified terminals
The single-module housing measures 18mm wide Γ 85mm high Γ 73mm deep and mounts onto a 35mm DIN rail.
Top terminals accept conductors up to 10mmΒ², with a specified tightening torque of 1.2Nm. Bottom terminals accept up to 25mmΒ², 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. The RCBO can also be removed without removing the busbar once the assembly has been safely isolated.
Timeguard provides a five-year guarantee, subject to its applicable terms. Manufacturer compatibility is limited to Timeguard TX series consumer units.
