China CBRB7L RCBO - Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection from Trusted Suppliers & Factory
Main purpose & scope of applications
The CBRB7L Residual Current Circuit Breaker (hereinafter “the RCCB”) is engineered for use in AC 50 Hz distribution circuits. It has a rated operational voltage of 230 V for single-pole two-wire and two-pole configurations, and 400V for three-pole and three-pole four-wire configurations. It supports rated currents up to 63 A and its service short-circuit breaking capacity does not exceed 6000 A. When leakage current exceeds the specified threshold or a person is exposed to electric shock, the RCCB rapidly disconnects the faulty supply to protect both personnel and electrical equipment.
The RCCB provides overload, short-circuit, residual-current (leakage), and overvoltage protection functions (the latter only on single-pole two-wire and two-pole models). It can be used to protect circuits or motors against overload and short-circuit faults, and under normal conditions may serve for infrequent circuit switching.

| Rated Current In(A) | Initial State | Test Current(A) | Specified Time(t) | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ≤63 | Cold State | 1.13In | t≥1h | Not Tripping |
| ≤63 | Hot State | 1.45In | t<1h | Tripping |
| ≤32 | Cold State | 2.55In | 1s<t<60s | Tripping |
| >32 | Cold State | 2.55In | 1s<t<120s | Tripping |
| ≤80 | Cold State | 5In | t≥0.1s | Not Tripping |
| ≤80 | Cold State | 10In | t<0.1s | Tripping |
4. Over-current limits that must not cause an unintended trip when there is no leakage current in the main circuit:
- a. Unbalanced load over-current in the main circuit (including the neutral conductor passing through the sensing element): the maximum current that does not cause the RCCB to trip is 6 In.
- b. Balanced load over-current across both poles of the main circuit (including the neutral conductor passing through the sensing element): the maximum current that does not cause the RCCB to trip is 6 In.

Installation & adjustment
- 1. Pre-installation Check: Inspect the RCCB to ensure it is undamaged and its operating mechanism moves freely. Verify that the device’s nameplate ratings and markings match the operating conditions.
- 2. Wiring & Power Connection: Observe terminal markings; ensure incoming neutral "N" is reliably grounded. Power must be connected as follows: For 1P+N and 2P, connect to 230V. For 3P, 3P+N, or 4P, mount and wire Phase A (left-most pole) and Phase C to 400V. Otherwise, leakage-protection will not operate.
- 3. Protective Panel: If used outside of a distribution enclosure, install a grounded metal or insulated protective panel behind the device to prevent accidental contact.
- 4. Factory Settings: The trip-setting current is fixed at the factory and must not be adjusted. The device is non-serviceable and must not be opened or repaired.

5. Mounting and Dismounting Procedure (see Fig 2):
a. Installation: Align the mounting slot of the RCCB with the lower end of the rail (slightly tilted to the right, dashed line in Fig 2). Push upward (arrow 1), press the recess (arrow 2) onto the upper end of the rail. Release to complete.b. Dismounting: Perform the reverse: push upward (arrow 1), and rotate in the opposite direction of arrow 2 to remove.
Operation & Maintenance
- 1. Protection settings (leakage, overload, short-circuit, overvoltage) are preset by the manufacturer and must not be adjusted. The leakage trip device is not suitable for on-site assembly with the circuit breaker.
- 2. Test the RCCB monthly by pressing the test button while the breaker is in the closed (ON) position to ensure reliable leakage protection performance.
- 3. When the RCCB trips due to leakage, the leakage indicator button will be activated.
- 4. If the breaker trips due to a fault (leakage, overload, or short circuit), identify and eliminate the fault first. Press the leakage indicator button before closing the breaker.
- 5. If the breaker is damaged and cannot operate normally, it must be replaced with a new circuit breaker.
