Learn more by watching our NLS 30798 | 20 amp 6KA Single Pole RCBO * NEW A TYPE * video.
The NLS 30798 is a single-pole residual current breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) rated 20A at 240V with a 6kA breaking capacity and 30mA earth-leakage sensitivity. Compliant with Australian Standards AS/NZS 61009:1 and ESV-approved for sale and installation in Victoria, the 30798 combines MCB and RCD functionality into one compact unit, simplifying switchboard design and reducing installation time. The 30798 is Type A classified, meeting new legislation requirements across Australia.
Electricians routinely specify RCBOs on domestic and light-commercial work where both overcurrent and earth-leakage protection are needed on the same circuit. A single-pole RCBO uses less board space than separate MCB and RCD units, simplifies terminal connections, and cuts the risk of installing the wrong component in the wrong position. The 30798 accepts load from either the top or the bottom, so you can fit it to your board layout without reworking cables.
Licensed electricians choose the NLS 30798 for its compact size and quick setup on switchboards. At 18mm wide and 81mm tall, the unit fits into standard boards without moving existing breakers or rewiring. Type A approval means your job meets current safety rules without checking multiple RCD versions. The 30mA earth-leakage trip protects residential circuits from child contact with water and from shock risk if someone touches an active bare conductor.
The NLS 30798 is not suitable for industrial three-phase switchboards, high-fault-level commercial installations exceeding 6kA, or circuits requiring selective (delayed) RCD tripping. Do not use the 30798 on load-shedding tariff circuits or remote-control switching schemes where the device must remain powered during control signal pulses. The 30798 is rated for 240V single-phase domestic supply only; it is not a three-phase or 415V device and cannot be adapted for industrial use.
IMPORTANT: This product is Type A and compliant with the new legislation.

(30798)
An RCBO like the 30798 combines both overcurrent and earth-leakage protection in a single unit that mounts on a DIN rail. A separate MCB and RCD take up two mounting positions on the board and require two distinct switching operations to fully isolate a circuit. The 30798 saves space, simplifies installation, and reduces the risk of installing the RCD in the wrong position or rating.
No, the 30798 is designed for manual-only circuits and fixed-load protection. Do not install it on tariff-switching circuits, remotely controlled circuits, or circuits requiring the device to remain powered during control signal pulses. For load-shedding applications, use a standard MCB on a separate tariff switching device upstream of the RCBO.
Yes. The 30798 is classified as Type A and complies with Australian Standard AS/NZS 61009:1. It is approved by the Essential Services Commission (ESV) for sale and installation in Victoria and meets current national legislative requirements for new electrical work. Type A classification removes the need to verify RCD version against evolving regulations.
The 6kA breaking capacity means the 30798 can safely interrupt a fault current of up to 6000 amperes. For domestic installations in Queensland and Victoria, a 6kA rating is appropriate for circuits fed from a 20A general-purpose sub-board. Check upstream fault levels with your local distribution authority if the installation is on a 40A or 63A sub-circuit; a 10kA-rated device may be required for higher fault levels.
Yes. The 30798 supports termination from either the top or the bottom, so you can connect the active and neutral incoming supplies to whichever pair of terminals suits your board layout. This flexibility reduces the need to rework cable runs to fit the device into the switchboard.
No. The 30798 is a single-phase 240V device and is not rated for three-phase or 415V supply. It is designed for domestic and light commercial single-phase circuits only. For three-phase RCBO protection, you will need a dedicated three-phase RCBO model; NLS offers separate models for three-phase applications.
The NLS 30798 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.
