Learn more by watching our HAGER ADC916T | 16Amp 6 kA Single Pole RCBO video.
The Hager ADC916T is a single-pole residual current breaker with overcurrent protection, rated 16A at 240V AC with a 6kA breaking capacity and 30mA sensitivity. The ADC916T complies with AS/NZS 61009-1 and IEC 61009-1 standards, designed to protect single-phase circuits against earth leakage, thermal overload, and short circuits. The 1-module DIN rail format means the ADC916T takes up minimal switchboard space while delivering combined MCB and RCD protection in one compact unit.
Domestic switchboards and load centres are often cramped during retrofit and new-build work, making space the bottleneck. The ADC916T addresses this by combining RCD and MCB functions in a single DIN-rail module — one device replaces what used to take two. Installation is straightforward: line and load terminals are non-sensitive, so no rewiring is required when swapping an older brand. Electricians fitting the ADC916T across residential jobs report faster wiring, fewer board-fill issues, and quicker sign-offs on site.
Hager's single-pole RCBO range has become the go-to choice on domestic circuits where compact protection matters. Licensed sparkies specify the ADC916T because the 1-module footprint frees up space for additional circuits without oversizing the board, and the rock-solid Australian compliance track record means callback risk is minimal. The neutral tail is a good length for standard board depths, and terminal tightening is straightforward on screw-type connectors.
The Hager ADC916T is not suitable for three-phase circuits, high-current subcircuits exceeding 16A, or installations requiring Type B or Type AC RCD sensitivity. It is a single-pole device and does not protect three-phase motors or industrial loads. Do not install the ADC916T on circuits with breaking capacity requirements exceeding 6kA (check the source substation rating on the DNO supply documentation).
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Hager ADC916T RCBO (ADC916T)

(ADC916T)
The ADC916T is a combined residual current breaker and overcurrent protection device in a single 1-module unit. A standard MCB (circuit breaker) protects against overload and short circuit only; an RCD (safety switch) protects against earth leakage only. The ADC916T does both in one device, saving space on the switchboard and reducing the number of connections required.
Installation of the Hager ADC916T must be carried out by a licensed electrician where required by law in your state or territory. The ADC916T is a safety-critical device that must be correctly wired to the main switchboard, earth, and circuit conductors. Incorrect installation risks electric shock and fire. Confirm with a licensed electrician before installing.
Yes, the ADC916T can replace older single-pole RCBOs from other brands. Both line and load terminals are non-sensitive (meaning they accept standard connections) so no rewiring is needed. The ADC916T uses standard DIN-rail mounting and 17.5 mm module width, fitting into most domestic switchboards. Confirm the old device is also 1-module width and single-pole before ordering as a replacement.
The Hager ADC916T is Type A, which means it detects pure DC leakage currents and is suitable for general household circuits with standard loads. Type B RCBOs (less common in Australia) also detect some smooth DC waveforms but are typically industrial. Type AC (the older standard) detects only pure AC leakage and is now superseded. The ADC916T Type A is the modern standard for domestic Australian switchboards.
The Hager ADC916T is designed for the life of the switchboard installation (typically 20–40 years) under normal operating conditions. There is no mandatory replacement interval; the unit does not have a "use-by date." A qualified electrician should test the ADC916T annually by pressing the test button to confirm the RCD section is functioning correctly. If the test button fails to trip, or if the device has been actuated multiple times due to faults, replacement may be necessary.
Hager products sold through Sparky Direct are backed by the manufacturer's standard warranty, typically covering manufacturing defects for one year from the date of purchase. Warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect installation, water damage, or misuse. Sparky Direct's 100-day money-back guarantee also applies; see Sparky Direct's returns policy for full terms.
The ADC916T is not designed to accept auxiliary trip coils, shunt releases, or other aftermarket accessories. The device features a manual toggle switch and built-in test button only. If your circuit requires additional signalling or remote trip capability, you may need a separate monitoring device or consider a different RCBO range; contact a licensed electrician to assess your specific requirements.
The Hager ADC916T is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
