Schneider Acti9 Residual Current Circuit Breaker, RCCB

Schneider Acti9 Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) is a safety device manufactured by Schneider Electric, engineered to detect earth leakage current and disconnect power to prevent electric shock and electrical fires. The RCCB monitors current flow and trips when it detects imbalance indicating leakage to earth.
Essential for modern electrical installations, Schneider Acti9 RCCB provides life-saving protection against electric shock in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. The quality Schneider Electric engineering ensures reliable operation for electrical installations in Bangalore requiring mandatory earth leakage protection.
