BG RCBO 40A Type A Double Pole Bi-Directional 6kA CUCRB40DPA

BG CUCRB40DPA — 40A B-Curve Type A Bidirectional Double-Pole RCBO (30mA, 6kA)

The BG Fortress CUCRB40DPA is a 40A B-curve, Type A bidirectional RCBO designed to deliver superior circuit and personal protection in modern domestic and light-commercial installations. Combining overload, short-circuit and 30mA residual-current protection in one ultra-compact single-module device, the CUCRB40DPA safeguards circuits where current may flow in two directions, such as solar PV, battery storage or other generation-capable systems.

Its double-pole isolation disconnects both live and neutral conductors during a fault, enhancing safety and compliance with BS 7671 Amendment 3.

This RCBO is part of BG’s bidirectional range, providing:

30mA Type A RCD protection capable of detecting AC and >6mA pulsed DC leakage

B-curve MCB performance, ideal for lighting and general-purpose circuits with lower inrush characteristics

6kA breaking capacity, ensuring dependable fault interruption in domestic and commercial environments

With a rated current of 40A, the CUCRB40DPA is suited for higher-demand circuits requiring strong, stable protection.

Compact Single-Module Design for Faster Installation

The datasheet confirms that the RCBO fits any BG consumer unit or enclosure via a 35mm DIN rail, while its 17.85 mm width saves valuable internal space. The neutral tail (480 mm, 4 mm²) and Pozidrive screw terminals simplify installation, ensuring fast and reliable terminations.

Built for Tough Environments

BG tests the CUCRB40DPA to Pollution Degree 3 and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +40°C, making it suitable for installations where condensation, variable temperature or harsher conditions are possible.
