        Ultimate Efficiency and Professional Finish

        • MAX9 takes the definition of a busbar to next level with MAXBAR. MAXBAR helps to improve installation speed by up to 15 times when compared to using cables for feeding RCBOs
        • With MAXBAR, no cable connections are needed to feed final sub-circuits protected by an RCBO or AFDD - it picks up the active feed from the main switch and distributes both active & neutral across all types of Clipsal  RCBOs and AFDDs

        Clipsal MX9R3120 | 20A MAX9 RCBO 1PN C | Type A 30mA SLIM

        The Clipsal MX9R3120 is a single-pole residual current breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO), rated 20A at 240V AC with 30mA Type A sensitivity and C-curve tripping. The MX9R3120 combines RCD and MCB functions in one slim 18mm module, designed for retrofit installations where switchboard space is at a premium.

        Electrical safety is a legal requirement in every Australian home. The MX9R3120 delivers dual protection: the 20A MCB function safeguards cables from overload and short circuit damage, while the 30mA RCD function interrupts the circuit in milliseconds if an earth leakage fault occurs, protecting occupants from indirect electric shock. This combination eliminates the need for separate MCB and RCD devices, reducing installation time and freeing up valuable board space. The slim 18mm width allows retrofit work where existing boards are already densely populated.

        Licensed electricians specify the MX9R3120 for retrofit jobs and new installations because the SLIM form factor fits where full-width RCBOs cannot. The MAX9 architecture supports busbar feeding via MAXBAR, cutting installation time by up to 15 times compared to traditional cable connections. Top and bottom line and load terminals allow feed-through capability, and the C-curve characteristic suits general-purpose final sub-circuits in residential and light commercial work. The 6kA breaking capacity meets AS/NZS standards for domestic installations.

        Features

        • 20A rated current — protective device for general-purpose final circuits, commonly used for lighting and power distribution on 20A MCB protection.
        • Type A 30mA sensitivity — instantaneous response to earth leakage faults, protecting against indirect contact hazards and defective appliances; Type A responds to both AC and smooth DC faults.
        • C-curve tripping — tolerates inrush currents from motors and transformers while providing fast trip under fault conditions, ideal for mixed loads on the same circuit.
        • Slim 18mm width (SLIM format) — fits in retrofit installations where full-width RCBOs cannot; allows more protection devices per enclosure without exceeding space limits.
        • 6kA breaking capacity — rated short circuit breaking capacity sufficient for domestic and small commercial switchboards downstream of the main protection.
        • 1P+N configuration — single protected pole with neutral switching; both active and neutral contacts open on RCD trip, preventing any live parts in the downstream circuit when the device operates.
        • Top and bottom line and load compatible — terminals on both top and bottom accommodate either top-entry or bottom-entry incoming feed, simplifying board layout and retrofit work.
        • MAXBAR compatible — works seamlessly with Clipsal's busbar feeding system for fast, cable-free distribution to multiple RCBOs and AFDDs on the MAX9 platform.
        • Lockable handle — trip-free locking device prevents forced ON operation if the breaker has tripped, maintaining safety integrity during fault conditions.
        • AS/NZS 61009 compliant — certified to Australian and New Zealand electrical standards for RCBOs; approved for use in all states and territories without additional documentation.

        Where to use

        • Retrofit switchboards — the MX9R3120 SLIM format fits into existing 18mm module spaces where standard-width RCBOs cannot, making it the default choice for upgrading protection in densely populated boards.
        • General-purpose lighting circuits — 20A protection on branch circuits supplying light fittings, ceiling fans, and other low-load fixtures in domestic homes and small offices.
        • Power distribution sub-circuits — 20A device protecting multiple outlet circuits, typically deployed on kitchen bench circuits, living room power points, and workspaces where sustained loads stay below 20A.
        • New residential builds — CODE requirement for all final sub-circuits (AS/NZS 3000); the MX9R3120 simplifies compliance by combining RCD and MCB in one device.
        • Bathroom and wet-area circuits — RCD protection at the socket outlet level for high-touch wet areas where indirect contact risk is highest; the Type A response covers both AC and smooth DC earth faults.
        • Renovations and extensions — fast installation with the MAX9 busbar system; electricians save time and cost compared to running cables to separate MCB and RCD pairs.
        • Light industrial and commercial — 20A protection for motor circuits, factory lighting, and workshop power where inrush currents are managed by the C-curve and earth leakage events trigger RCD shutdown.

        The Clipsal MX9R3120 is not rated for three-phase circuits, for circuits exceeding 20A at rated voltage, or for installations in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds 70°C or drops below -25°C for extended periods.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal MX9R3120 (MX9R3120)

        "Well designed and packaged, quick and seamless installation with Max9 busbar." — Phillthy Engineering

        "Solid bit of kit, trusted brand, good quality never had an issue." — Ben

        "Great gear." — David

        (MX9R3120)

        The MX9R3120 combines both functions in one slim 18mm module, saving board space and installation time. A separate MCB and RCD would require two full modules (around 36mm total) and two sets of cable connections. The MX9R3120 is certified as a single device and eliminates the complexity of coordinating two separate protective elements.

        Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The MX9R3120 operates on mains voltage and connects directly to the switchboard. Incorrect installation creates electrocution and fire hazards. A licensed sparky will confirm correct pole assignment, upstream protection coordination, and compliance with AS/NZS 3000.

        The MX9R3120 is rated to safely break short circuits up to 6kA at 240V AC. Breaking capacity determines the maximum fault current the device can interrupt without damage or arcing. For domestic installations downstream of the main switch, 6kA is typically adequate. Your sparky will verify that the upstream main protection (MCB or main switch) is rated high enough for your actual fault level.

        Yes, the Type A 30mA sensitivity makes it suitable for final sub-circuits supplying bathroom and wet-area power points. The Type A classification means the MX9R3120 responds to both AC and smooth DC earth faults, covering the hazards of wet environments. However, some installations may require RCD protection at the socket outlet itself (portable RCBO or socket outlet with integrated RCD); your sparky will confirm the design requirement.

        The MX9R3120 works with both busbar (MAXBAR) and traditional cable feeding. The busbar system is optional and brings time and cost savings during installation. If you're retrofitting into an existing board, traditional cable connections remain fully compliant; the busbar advantage applies mainly to new installations or major board upgrades where the board is being reorganised.

        The MX9R3120 carries a 7-year manufacturer warranty from the invoice date, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, electrical damage from exceeding rated parameters, or mechanical damage. Clipsal offers in-home warranty service through authorised distributors; your sparky or Sparky Direct can advise on claim procedures.

        The Clipsal MX9R3120 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.
