PC-Series Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters P ROD UC T W E BP A GE request sample, configure part The PC-Series, AC Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO), combines ground fault protection with the familiar overcurrent tripping characteristics of a normal circuit breaker to protect against low-level faults when installed near water. Based on the principles of hydraulic-magnetic design, the breaker also operates reliably when exposed to extreme heat or cold. This breaker series is available in one to three pole configurations and rated from .10-50 amps, 120VAC, 120/240VAC with max IC of 5,000 amps Typical Applications ∙ Marine ∙ AC Main Ground Fault Protection for a boat’s entire AC electrical system
