Hager RCCB Type A 80A 100mA Double Pole CEA580U

Hager CEA580U: 1P+N 80A RCCB with 100mA Type A residual current protection, built for reliable earth leakage protection in domestic and light commercial circuit protection panels.

Safety & Reliable Earth Leakage Protection

This Hager Ltd circuit protection residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) detects earth leakage currents from 100mA and trips automatically, protecting against electric shock and fire risk caused by insulation faults. The Type A sensitivity rating covers both AC and pulsating DC residual currents, giving broader protection than standard AC-only devices, which matters where modern electronics and variable loads are present on the circuit.

Rated for 80A continuous load with a 1.25kA breaking capacity and 10kA conditional short-circuit rating (to EN61008-1), the CEA580U is built to handle demanding domestic and small commercial distribution boards without derating until ambient temperatures reach 70°C, where it still delivers 75A.

Installation & Compliance

A 2-module width keeps consumer unit layouts compact, while screw terminals top and bottom (biconnect on the lower terminal) accept conductor cross-sections from 1 to 50mm² (massive) or 1 to 35mm² (flexible), giving installers flexibility on cable sizing. Aligned top and bottom terminals with a 3.60Nm tightening torque simplify wiring and help ensure a consistent, code-compliant termination every time.

Suitable for standard DIN rail mounting, this 2 residual current circuit breakers rccb unit is rated IP20 and designed for use inside an enclosed distribution board. Rated insulation voltage of 500V and impulse withstand voltage up to 6000V (to IEC 60947-3) support safe operation on 230V AC single-phase supplies at 50 to 60Hz.

Built-In Durability

With an electrical endurance of 10,000 operating cycles and 20,000 mechanical operations, this Hager CEA580U is engineered for long service life in active circuits. Power dissipation at rated current is just 10.90W, helping limit heat build-up inside enclosed boards, and the unit is rated to operate across a wide -25°C to +65°C range, making it suitable for unheated plant rooms, garages, and outbuildings as well as standard indoor installations.
