Greegoo, a Chinese company manufacturing electrical switchgear in China, has achieved a breakthrough in the design of RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker Operator). They have successfully designed and produced an RCBO, which is exactly the same size as a Single Pole MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) but still has a 6 kA rating. This achievement looks set to revolutionise the domestic and commercial circuit breaker markets.
In a new installation, there is no longer a need to install a 2 or 4 pole safety switch as each 8 Series RCBO offers earth leakage protection as well as being an over current circuit breaker. These features save the space required when designing a load centre, reduce wiring costs and bring down installation labour costs.
In the retrofit market, the 8 Series RCBO saves time on installation. This can be as high as an 80% time saving when compared to installing and wiring a 2-pole safety switch. Additional savings occur by using the existing load centre.
The 8 Series RCBO is the same size as the MCB it is replacing, so no additional space is required.
The Greegoo’s 8 Series RCBO is available in 6,10, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40 Amp current ratings. It has a 6 kA interrupting capacity, 30 mA earth leakage trip setting as well as over voltage and surge protection.
We wish to introduce our 8 series single pole RCBO into the Australian market, as recent legislative changes concerning rental properties and wiring rules (AS/NZS3000-2007) modifications make it a cost-effective alternative to the traditional 2 and 4 pole safety switches. Therefore, we are looking for a professional distributor to represent us in Austrilia and New Zealand.
