        Hager | 2 Pole RCD Safety Switch 40A 30mA | Type A 6kA

        The Hager CDA240T is a two pole residual current device rated 40A with 30mA earth leakage sensitivity, mounted on symmetrical DIN rail. The CDA240T is a Type A device, so it detects both AC and pulsating DC earth leakage currents. It complies with AS/NZS 61008-1 and carries a rated conditional short circuit current of 6kA.

        Replacing a failed safety switch on an existing board starts with matching the footprint of the old unit. The CDA240T takes two modules at 83mm high, 35mm wide and 70mm deep, the standard modular size most Australian residential boards are built around. Line and load terminals are non sensitive, so swapping in over another brand does not force a rewire of the incoming and outgoing conductors.

        Contractors carry the CDA240T because one part number covers most domestic sub main and mixed circuit work at 40A with 30mA sensitivity. Terminals accept 25mm2 rigid or 16mm2 flexible conductors under screw connection, so mains tails land without a reducer. The device clips onto symmetrical DIN rail and torques to 2.8Nm, which keeps fit off time short on a board upgrade.

        Features

        • Type A residual current detection — trips on sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC earth leakage, covering circuits that feed inverters, chargers and electronic loads.
        • 30mA earth leakage sensitivity — the CDA240T is rated at the personal protection threshold used for socket outlet and lighting circuits under AS/NZS 3000.
        • 40A rated current — carries full 40A at ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius on the switchboard.
        • 6kA conditional short circuit rating — rated to 6kA in accordance with EN 61008-1, which suits domestic and light commercial supply points.
        • Two pole switching — breaks active and neutral together, isolating the protected circuits completely when the CDA240T trips.
        • Two module width — occupies 35mm of rail at DIN 43880 construction size 1, so board space stays predictable.
        • Line and load compatible terminals — supply can land at the top or the bottom, which removes the rewire when replacing another brand.
        • 25mm2 terminal capacity — screw terminals take 25mm2 rigid or 16mm2 flexible conductors at 2.8Nm tightening torque.
        • Neutral on the right — the CDA240T carries the neutral pole on the right hand side, matching common Australian board layouts.
        • AS/NZS 61008-1 compliant — tested to the Australian and New Zealand standard for residual current operated circuit breakers without integral overcurrent protection.
        • No overcurrent protection — an RCD of this type does not protect against overload or short circuit, so upstream or downstream circuit breakers are still required.
        • IP20 as supplied — finger safe only, and rated IP40 once enclosed, so it must sit inside a switchboard or enclosure.

        Where to use

        • Domestic switchboard upgrades — the CDA240T retrofits into existing modular boards where an older safety switch has failed or no longer meets the current wiring rules.
        • Socket outlet and lighting groups — 30mA sensitivity protects grouped final subcircuits fed through a downstream bank of circuit breakers.
        • Sub main protection — 40A rating suits a sub main run to a shed, granny flat or detached garage board.
        • Renovation and rewire work — the CDA240T lands on standard DIN rail during a board rebuild, so no adaptors or mounting plates are needed.
        • Light commercial boards — 6kA conditional short circuit rating covers small shopfront and office supply points.
        • Circuits with electronic loads — Type A detection covers pulsating DC leakage produced by variable speed drives, chargers and switch mode supplies.
        • Weatherproof distribution boards — the unit reaches IP40 once fitted inside a rated enclosure for external switchboard positions.

        The Hager CDA240T is not an overcurrent protective device. It does not replace a circuit breaker or an RCBO, and the circuits it feeds still need overload and short circuit protection. The device is rated IP20 in open air, so it is not suitable for direct exposure to weather, dust or moisture and must be installed inside a switchboard or enclosure by a licensed electrician.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Hager CDA240T | 2 Pole 40A RCD 6ka 30ma (CDA240T)

        "Great product" — Lindsay

        "This had to replace exactly the dimensions of the faulty one and it fitted correctly." — Dusty

        (CDA240T)

        The Hager CDA240T is manufactured to IEC 61008-1 and AS/NZS 61008-1, the standard covering residual current operated circuit breakers without integral overcurrent protection. It is a Type A device with 30mA residual operating current and a 6kA rated conditional short circuit current.

        The CDA240T clips onto symmetrical DIN rail and occupies two modules, 35mm of rail width. Screw terminals accept 25mm2 rigid or 16mm2 flexible conductors and are tightened to 2.8Nm. Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician.

        Line and load terminals on this unit are non sensitive, so supply can land at either the top or the bottom. That means an existing board can usually keep its current wiring arrangement when the old unit comes out, provided the module width and neutral position suit.

        A Type AC device only detects sinusoidal AC earth leakage. A Type A device detects sinusoidal AC plus pulsating DC leakage, which is produced by electronic loads such as chargers, inverters and variable speed drives. This unit is Type A.

        No overcurrent protection is built into a residual current circuit breaker of this design. It monitors earth leakage only. Overload and short circuit protection for the connected circuits must come from separate circuit breakers, sized and coordinated by the installing electrician.

        The 40A rating holds up to 40 degrees Celsius ambient. Above that the manufacturer derates the device: 38A at 45 degrees, 37A at 50 degrees, 34A at 55 degrees and 30A at 60 degrees. Board ventilation matters in hot roof spaces and metal enclosures.

        Warranty runs two years for domestic use and two years for commercial use, starting from the invoice date. The warranty method is return to Sparky Direct. Warranty cover is void if the product is not installed by a licensed electrician.
