        NLS 30838 | Single Pole 6kA RCBO | 16Amp A-Type

        The NLS 30838 16A Single Pole RCBO 6kA A Type delivers combined protection against overload, short-circuit, and earth-leakage faults in a compact housing. Featuring A Type sensitivity, it can detect both AC and pulsating DC residual currents. Pre-fitted line and load cables make for quick, clean installation in tight residential switchboards.

        With a 6kA interrupt capacity and a streamlined body design, this 1P RCBO is great for modern installations where reliability and a low profile are key. Fully approved to Australian standards, it suits both new setups and upgrade work.
