Hager 63A 2Pole 100Ma RCCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)

The device monitors the balance between live and neutral conductors. If there is leakage to earth above 100 mA, it rapidly disconnects the circuit, reducing the risk of electric shock. The two-pole design helps ensure both conductors are disconnected in fault conditions for safer protection.

Key specs include: 2 poles, a pre-set trip current of 100 milliamperes, earth leakage detection, built-in fault-detection for direct and indirect contact protection, and dual-purpose protection that also guards against voltage fluctuations. The description emphasizes Hager’s design enhancements for comprehensive safety.

Install it in the main distribution board (consumer unit) on the incoming supply side to protect the downstream circuits. It should be connected between the supply lines (live and neutral) and the protected loads so that any earth leakage on protected circuits trips the device.

General steps: (1) Power off the main supply. (2) Mount the device on the DIN rail inside the distribution board. (3) Connect the incoming line and neutral to the line terminals and connect the protected loads to the load terminals. (4) Tighten terminal screws to the recommended torque. (5) Replace the cover, restore power, and label the circuit. For exact torque values and terminal layouts, refer to the product manual.

If your specific model includes a built-in test button, use it according to the user manual. If there’s no test button described, consult the product manual or a qualified electrician for an appropriate testing procedure to verify leakage detection and tripping behavior.

It’s well-suited for protecting circuits with higher leakage risk, such as bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor outlets, and other wet areas, or any installation where robust earth leakage protection is desired. It’s also useful where dual protection against direct and indirect contact is beneficial.

Always follow local electrical codes and standards. Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician. Ensure proper labeling, correct polarity, appropriate enclosure, and that the device is suitable for the system voltage and frequency. Regular checks and adherence to manufacturer guidelines help maintain safe operation.

This RCCB is designed to integrate with standard two-pole RCCB-compatible setups common in many distribution boards. When mixing brands, verify terminal sizes, mounting compatibility, and electrical ratings to ensure proper fit and safe operation. Always consult the installation manual or a qualified electrician.

Value considerations include the 100 mA leakage-tripping capability, two-pole protection, and Hager’s design enhancements. If your circuits require effective earth leakage protection and dual-contact safeguarding, this model offers solid protection at a reasonable price point relative to similar high-quality RCCBs. Compare specifications, warranty, and after-sales support with other options on Fepy.com to determine the best value for your setup.

Frequent tripping may indicate a real earth leakage or fault in a connected load. Start by unplugging loads and inspecting for moisture, damaged wiring, or faulty appliances. If trips persist, have a licensed electrician inspect the installation, wiring, and the device itself to identify leakage sources and confirm proper operation.
