        National Light Sources | Single Pole 32A RCBO 4.5kA | Type A DIN Rail

        IMPORTANT: This product is Type A and compliant with the new legislation.

        The NLS 30825 is a 32 amp single pole RCBO (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection) rated at 4.5kA breaking capacity, combining the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and residual current device into one compact unit. The 30825 is a Type A RCBO approved to Australian Standards AS/NZS 61009:1 and is ESV compliant for use in Victoria. It operates at 240V and delivers 30mA earth-leakage sensitivity with a non-polarised design that accepts load from the top or bottom of the DIN rail.

        An RCBO eliminates the need to install separate MCB and RCD devices, reducing panel congestion and simplifying the installation process. On jobs where space in the switchboard is tight, a single NLS 30825 delivers both overcurrent and earth-leakage protection without consuming the space two separate devices would require. Licensed electricians value the NLS 30825 for its non-polarised wiring flexibility. The unit accepts load from either end of the terminal, which cuts installation time and eliminates the risk of mis-wiring polarity during a busy job.

        The 30825 sits within the NLS RCBO range, offering a cost-effective alternative to higher-priced branded safety switches while meeting the same Australian compliance standards. Its electro-mechanical endurance of 4000 cycles and non-polarised design make it suitable for domestic switchboards where standard MCB+RCD combinations are the baseline. The compact DIN rail mounting suits all standard single-pole enclosures and is compatible with existing NLS and generic DIN equipment, so stock rotation and replacement are straightforward.

        Features

        • 32A rated current — suitable for general-purpose circuits, kitchen benches, laundry areas, and standard residential power subcircuits protected by 32A MCB or RCD upstream.
        • 4.5kA breaking capacity — capable of interrupting fault currents up to 4500 amperes, meeting the breaking capacity standard for most domestic installations.
        • Type A RCBO — earth-leakage class A with 30mA sensitivity detects both AC and DC residual currents, suitable for circuits with static discharge or variable loads.
        • Non-polarised design — accepts load from top or bottom of the DIN rail without rewiring, reducing installation time and preventing polarity errors on site.
        • Compact single unit — combines MCB and RCD functions without needing separate devices, saving valuable DIN rail space in switchboards and reducing panel clutter.
        • DIN rail mount — standard 35mm DIN rail mounting fits all Australian surface mount and recessed enclosures without adaptation or additional fixtures.
        • 240V rated — operates on standard Australian single phase mains supply, compatible with all domestic and light commercial installations.
        • 4000-cycle endurance — electro-mechanical rating ensures longevity even in high-use circuits, reducing call-back rates for repeat nuisance trips.
        • 1P+N configuration — supplies one active and one neutral pole, standard for single pole protection in domestic switchboards.
        • AS/NZS 61009:1 compliant — approved to Australian and New Zealand standards for RCBOs, with ESV certification for use in Victoria.
        • IP20 rated — protects against direct finger contact in normal operation, with IP40 available when enclosed in a cabinet or switchboard.
        • 3-year replacement warranty — full domestic and commercial warranty covering manufacturing defects, with no in-home service requirement.

        Where to use

        • General power circuits — the NLS 30825 protects standard domestic and light commercial power circuits where both overcurrent and earth-leakage protection is required by standards.
        • Kitchen and laundry circuits — suitable for high-use areas where water exposure risk is moderate and a single combined protection device reduces switchboard complexity.
        • Domestic renovations — on full-rewire or substantial upgrade jobs, the 30825 simplifies the protection scheme by replacing MCB+RCD combinations with single units.
        • New residential construction — standard choice on new builds where space efficiency and code compliance are equally important.
        • Retrofit and panel upgrades — fits standard Australian enclosures and DIN rail systems, making it a straightforward swap for ageing breaker combinations.
        • Commercial switchboards — approved for commercial use, the 30825 is suitable for small commercial installations (offices, shops, light manufacturing) where single-pole protection with RCD is specified.

        The NLS 30825 is not suitable for outdoor locations, wet or damp exposed areas, or circuits exposed to water spray or splash. Do not install in bathrooms at outlet level, laundries where water ingress is likely, or any location where IP44 or higher weatherproofing is required. The 30825 is an interior switchboard device only and must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 and local regulations.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: NLS 30825 | 32 amp 4.5KA Single Pole RCBO Type A (30825)

        "Only just started using these, they seem to be a good product, time will tell." — Barry R

        "Good alternative brand, non polarity helps on installation." — DP

        "Compact and easy to install." — Steve

        (30825)

        An RCBO combines the functions of a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and a residual current device (RCD) into one compact unit. A separate MCB+RCD combination requires two devices on the DIN rail, takes up twice the space, and requires two separate trip mechanisms. The 30825 delivers both overcurrent and earth-leakage protection in a single device, reducing panel congestion and simplifying installation.

        Yes. The 30825 is non-polarised, which means it accepts load from the top or bottom of the DIN rail terminal without rewiring. This flexibility reduces installation time and eliminates the risk of polarity errors during a busy job. Load and neutral can be applied in either sequence.

        Yes. The 30825 is ESV (Essential Services Commission) compliant and approved for use in Victoria under the applicable fire and building regulations. It meets AS/NZS 61009:1 and is certified for both domestic and commercial installations in all Australian states and territories.

        Type A earth-leakage class means the RCBO detects both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) residual currents. This is essential on circuits that include variable-speed drives, power supplies, or any load with static discharge. Standard Type A RCBOs trip at 30mA earth-leakage, which is the sensitivity specified on the 30825.

        The breaking capacity is 4.5kA, which means the 30825 can safely interrupt fault currents up to 4500 amperes. This rating is suitable for domestic and light commercial installations. A higher breaking capacity (such as 6kA or 10kA) is required only in high-fault-level installations near a distribution transformer or in industrial switchboards; for standard domestic use, 4.5kA is standard and compliant.

        The 30825 comes with a 3-year replacement warranty covering manufacturing defects. Warranty is valid for both domestic and commercial use and starts from the invoice date. In-home servicing is not required; if a fault is confirmed, Sparky Direct will send a replacement unit. Warranty is void if the unit is installed by anyone other than a licensed electrician.

        The National Light Sources 30825 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.
