Learn more by watching our NLS 30797 | 16 amp 6KA Single Pole RCBO * NEW A TYPE * video.
The NLS 30797 is a single-pole RCBO (residual current circuit breaker with integral overload protection) rated 16A 6kA, with 30mA Type A earth-leakage sensitivity. It combines MCB and RCD protection in a single DIN-rail module for 240V circuits and complies with AS/NZS 61009:1 and Victorian NEW A TYPE legislative requirements. The 30797 is designed for new switchboard installations and upgrade work replacing older AC-type RCDs.
Licensed electricians specify the NLS 30797 for straightforward circuit protection where a single device handles both overload and earth-leakage duties. Its 16A rating suits general subcircuits and power runs, while the 1P+N configuration and non-polarised design simplify wiring orientation on the board. The 6kA breaking capacity covers typical residential and light-commercial fault levels without oversizing for the application.
The NLS 30797 is built for reliability and longevity. It carries a 3-year replacement warranty, meets electro-mechanical endurance of 4000 cycles, and supports flexible DIN-rail mounting in new or retrofit switchboards. Sparkies value it for compliance-first installations, particularly where NEW A TYPE legislation is a driver, and for upgrade work where older AC-type RCDs must be replaced.
The NLS 30797 is not suitable for circuits exceeding 16A, three-phase supplies, or installations requiring higher sensitivity (faster tripping) than 30mA. It cannot be used in locations requiring Type B or Type C earth-leakage protection, and must not be installed by anyone other than a licensed electrician in safety-critical applications.

(30797)
A 16A RCBO is commonly used on power circuits, small appliance circuits, or GPO runs that require combined overload and earth-leakage protection.
Yes, the RCBO is a Type A unit with 30mA sensitivity and fully complies with the latest regulations, including the Victorian NEW A TYPE requirements.
It is. A 6kA fault rating covers typical residential and light-commercial short-circuit levels.
Yes. Its non-polarised design allows line and load to be connected in either orientation for easier switchboard layouts.
Yes, it complies with the new Type A requirement and is suitable for replacing outdated AC-type RCDs during upgrades or maintenance work.
Yes, Sparky Direct supplies the NLS 30797, with fast delivery options available for both trade and residential customers.
Yes. The NLS 30797 is a Type A RCBO with 30mA sensitivity and is fully compliant with Victorian NEW A TYPE requirements and the latest Australian electrical installation standards.
The NLS 30797 is rated 16A and must not be installed on circuits exceeding that rating. It is a single-device protection solution and cannot be adjusted for higher current.
The 30797 is Type A, meaning it detects both sinusoidal and pulsating direct-current leakage. Older AC-type RCDs detect sinusoidal leakage only and cannot respond to modern power-electronic loads. NEW A TYPE compliance requires Type A devices.
Yes. Its non-polarised design allows the line and load terminals to be connected in either orientation, which simplifies switchboard layout and reduces the need to reverse the device.
The NLS 30797 is backed by a 3-year replacement warranty covering manufacturing defects under domestic and commercial use conditions when installed by a licensed electrician.
The 6kA rating indicates the maximum short-circuit current the device can safely interrupt without damage. It matches typical residential and light-commercial fault levels and is the standard rating for most household boards.
The National Light Sources 30797 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.
