        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | RCBO 1P+N 32A Resi MAX | Type A 30mA 4.5kA

        The Clipsal RCBE232/30S is a single-module RCBO rated 32A that combines overcurrent protection with 30mA earth-leakage detection in one pole width. The RCBE232/30S carries a Type A earth-leakage class, a C curve, and a 4.5kA breaking capacity, and complies with AS/NZS 61009. It mounts on standard DIN rail and is part of the Clipsal Resi MAX range.

        Domestic switchboards fill up fast once every circuit needs residual current protection under current wiring rules. This device answers that with a single-module footprint that frees up board space while still switching both active and neutral. A sparky upgrading an older board, or chasing an earth-leakage fault on a power circuit, can drop one in without re-planning the whole load centre. Because the line and load terminals are non-sensitive, it can replace an alternative-brand RCBO with no rewiring.

        Licensed electricians reach for the Resi MAX range when they want one consistent brand across a domestic board, so one replacement keeps the whole enclosure on a single brand and footprint. The RCBE232/30S can be wired from the top or bottom, which speeds up busbar and incoming cable connection on a tight board. It locks in the ON or OFF position with a trip-free mechanism, giving a defined isolation point during fault-finding. At trade pricing on a one-module device, it is an inexpensive line item to add when bringing an older board up to standard.

        Features

        • Single-module width — the RCBE232/30S takes up one DIN module, freeing space for more devices in a domestic switchboard or sub-board.
        • 1P+N switching — switches both the active and neutral contacts, isolating the full circuit rather than the active alone.
        • 32A C curve — the thermal-magnetic trip suits general power and mixed loads typical of domestic final subcircuits.
        • 30mA Type A earth leakage — detects both AC and pulsating DC residual currents, the level used for shock protection on socket and lighting circuits.
        • 4.5kA breaking capacity — rated to interrupt a 4.5kA prospective fault current, suited to domestic boards on a typical residential supply.
        • Top or bottom wiring — line and load connect from either end, simplifying busbar and incoming cable layout on the RCBE232/30S.
        • Non-sensitive terminals — line and load terminals are not polarity-sensitive, so the unit replaces an alternative-brand RCBO without rewiring.
        • Trip-free ON/OFF locking — the toggle locks in the ON or OFF position and stays trip-free, giving a clear point to isolate the circuit for testing.
        • AS/NZS 61009 compliant — certified to the combined standard for residual current operated circuit breakers with integral overcurrent protection.
        • DIN 43880 slimline body — the 92.5 x 18 x 71.5mm case clips onto standard 35mm DIN rail in Clipsal and most third-party enclosures.
        • RoHS compliant — free of substances of very high concern (SVHC) and compliant with the EU RoHS directive for hazardous substances.
        • IP20 unenclosed — rated IP20 on its own and IP40 only inside a modular enclosure, so the RCBE232/30S must be installed within a switchboard, never left exposed.

        Where to use

        • Domestic switchboard upgrades — fit the RCBE232/30S when bringing an older board up to current residual-current requirements one circuit at a time.
        • Power and socket circuits — protects 32A general power subcircuits where both overcurrent and earth-leakage protection are required.
        • Sub-boards and load centres — the single-module width helps the RCBE232/30S fit into space-limited sub-boards and shed enclosures.
        • RCD or ELCB replacement — swaps in for an ageing earth-leakage device to add combined overcurrent protection on the same circuit.
        • Alternative-brand changeouts — non-sensitive terminals let it replace another brand's RCBO in an existing board without rewiring the connections.
        • Renovations and additions — suits new final subcircuits added during a domestic renovation, where DIN-rail space and brand consistency matter.
        • Appliance and climate-control circuits — a 32A C-curve device handles the running loads of fixed appliances and split-system air-conditioning circuits.

        The RCBE232/30S is rated IP20 and must sit inside a switchboard or modular enclosure, never in an exposed or weather-affected position. It is a domestic distribution device and is not built for industrial fault levels above its 4.5kA breaking capacity. As a Type A device, it detects AC and pulsating DC earth leakage but not the smooth DC residual current produced by some electronic loads.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal RCBE232/30S | 32AMP RCBO 1P+N 4.5kA Resi MAX (RCBE232/30S)

        "Clipsal quality, easy to work with" — Scott

        "Finally managed to get one that matched the rest of my breakers" — Rob

        "Great RCBO. Never had one fail or give me an issue" — HB

        (RCBE23230S)

        Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The RCBE232/30S clips onto standard 35mm DIN rail in a switchboard, takes up one module, and can be wired from the top or bottom. Line and load terminals are non-sensitive, so terminal polarity is not critical.

        The non-sensitive line and load terminals let the RCBE232/30S replace many alternative-brand RCBOs without rewiring the existing connections. It is one DIN module wide and suits Clipsal switchboards and most third-party enclosures that take 35mm DIN rail and a 1P+N device.

        Type A earth-leakage protection detects both AC and pulsating DC residual currents at a 30mA threshold, the level used for shock protection on socket and lighting circuits. The device also gives overcurrent protection through a 32A thermal-magnetic C-curve trip and a 4.5kA breaking capacity.

        This Resi MAX RCBO complies with AS/NZS 61009, the standard for residual current operated circuit breakers with integral overcurrent protection. It is also free of substances of very high concern (SVHC) and compliant with the EU RoHS directive for hazardous substances.

        Resi MAX boards are commonly fed by a 1P+N pin-type busbar comb, such as the Clipsal RMXPH112 12-module comb, with the RMXPC1 cable connector set for tails. Both line and load can be taken from the top or bottom, so the comb can sit on either rail.

        The RCBE232/30S carries a two-year Clipsal warranty for both domestic and commercial use, running from the invoice date. Clipsal handles many claims directly through an in-home service. Warranty is void if the device is not installed by a licensed electrician.

        The RCBE232/30S is for indoor switchboard mounting only. It is rated IP20 on its own and IP40 inside a modular enclosure, so it must sit within an enclosure and never in an exposed or weather-affected spot. It is built for domestic boards, not industrial fault levels above 4.5kA.

        The Clipsal by Schneider Electric RCBE232/30S 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.
