Overview
The VIOX VRL7E is an electronic Type AC residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection for AC 230 V, 50/60 Hz final distribution circuits. Its 1P+N configuration combines residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection in one compact device. The Type AC detection system responds to sinusoidal alternating residual currents, while B and C thermomagnetic tripping characteristics support different circuit and load requirements. The RCBO is intended for residential, commercial and light industrial distribution boards and installs on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
