How to Choose the Right RCCB / RCBO
Match the device to your circuit’s rated current and duty, confirm the breaking/switching performance meets the fault level, choose the correct poles and (where relevant) tripping curve or utilisation category, and verify the certifications your market requires (IEC and CE/CB internationally, UL for North America, CCC for China). For budget-sensitive or high-volume projects, Chinese brands such as Chint and NewTrend deliver certified performance at lower cost — use our cross-reference chart to find an equivalent for any Schneider, ABB or Siemens model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the best RCCBs and RCBOs?
Schneider (Acti9), ABB (F200/DS201) and Siemens (5SV) lead, with Doepke a respected German RCD specialist. Chint (NL1) is the value leader; NewTrend / SNTELEC offers F360/DZ47LE plus genuine Chint and Delixi for OEM and multi-brand sourcing.
What is the difference between an RCCB and an RCBO?
An RCCB provides earth-leakage (residual current) protection only. An RCBO combines residual-current protection with overcurrent (MCB) protection in one device, protecting against leakage, overload and short circuit.
What is the Chinese equivalent of a Schneider or ABB RCCB?
Chint NL1, Delixi DZ47sLE and NewTrend F360/DZ47LE are functional equivalents to Schneider Acti9 iID and ABB F200. See our cross-reference chart for details.
What sensitivity (mA) should an RCCB have?
30mA is standard for personal (shock) protection on final circuits; 100–300mA is used for fire protection and selectivity on upstream devices. Type A or Type B is chosen based on the leakage waveform (e.g. Type B for EV chargers and inverters).
What certifications should an RCCB have?
IEC 61008 (RCCB) / 61009 (RCBO) compliance plus CE and CB internationally, CCC for China, and UL for North America. NewTrend devices carry UL, CE, RoHS, CB and SAA.
