RCBOs are commonly used in applications where there is the need to combine protection against overcurrents (overload and short-circuit) and protection against earth leakage currents. RCBOs help in sensing this kind of faults and trip the circuit ensuring complete protection of the people and connected equipment.
What's the difference between RCBO and MCB?
MCB stands for miniature circuit breaker while RCBO stands for a residual current circuit breaker with overload protection. MCB can provide protection against overcurrent and short circuit only while RCBO can provide protection against overcurrent and earth leakage.

What is the advantage of RCBO?
RCBO is an effective way of providing reliable, discriminating residual current protection. Also, the elimination of separate fuses or circuit breakers substantially reduces installation time and space requirements.
