Schneider RCCB 40A 2P EZ9R36240 is an option among residual current circuit breakers at Bashiti Stores, designed to detect residual current and disconnect the circuit when the specified leakage sensitivity is exceeded. This model features a 40-amp rating and 30mA leakage sensitivity. When comparing, distinguish between the current flowing through the device and the leakage value that triggers disconnection, and verify the appropriate protection type for the loads.
Practical Benefits
- Adds earth leakage detection functionality to the protection system when selected and installed correctly.
- The presence of a specific rated current and leakage sensitivity allows for clear comparison of the device with panel requirements.
- Distinguishing between the protection type and current helps avoid confusion between wiring protection and leakage protection.

Who needs this product?
Distribution panel installation and maintenance technicians, when earth leakage protection functionality is required according to the protection scheme. The type, sensitivity, current, and number of poles must be selected in coordination with the remaining circuit breakers and loads.
Installation and Verification — For Professional Technicians
The following steps outline the general workflow. Refer to the manufacturer's diagram for the EZ9R36240 reference to identify terminals and torque values. Do not perform work on a live circuit.
- The technician disconnects all power sources, secures them against reactivation, and verifies the absence of voltage with a suitable tool.
- Match the device reference, number of poles, current, and voltage with the panel diagram, and review conductor cross-section and protection coordination.
- Mount the unit on the rail or its designated position after ensuring compatibility, and identify the supply and output from the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Execute connections using the torque, stripping length, and wire gauges specified in the model manual; do not transfer these values from a similar device.
- Inspect the tightness of the mounting and connections, close the covers, and perform the required operational and protection tests before handing over the circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying
Does an RCCB protect against overload and short circuits?
An RCCB does not include overcurrent protection; therefore, it requires coordination with a suitable circuit breaker or fuse. It is not used as a substitute for an overload and short-circuit breaker.
Does 40A mean the leakage sensitivity is 40A?
No. Rated current and leakage sensitivity are two different values; sensitivity here is indicated in milliamperes, while the rated current refers to the current flow through the device.
Is the AC type suitable for all electronic loads?
Not automatically. The technician determines the required type of protection based on the potential leakage current waveform and the nature of the loads; some circuits may require a different type.
