RCD & RCBO – Residual Current Protection Devices, Competitive Prices & Fast Shipping Across Europe
Explore our premium Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent protection (RCBOs), designed for outstanding reliability, durability, and long service life. As a trusted European supplier of electrical materials, we serve professional electricians, installation companies, construction and renovation firms, research centres, and B2B buyers in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, France, and beyond. Our RCDs and RCBOs provide essential protection against electric shocks, earth leakage faults, overloads, and short circuits – fully compliant with European IEC/EN standards (IEC 60364, EN 61008-1, EN 61009-1, IEC 61009-2-2) and certified by VDE, CE, and Semko.
With Type A and Type B options, our devices ensure top safety for modern installations, including EV charging stations (Wallbox), distribution boards, and industrial applications.
Key Benefits of Our RCDs and RCBOs
Our Residual Current Devices (also known as RCCBs) and combined RCBOs deliver rapid disconnection (<40 ms) at 30 mA for personal protection, with 300 mA options for equipment/fire protection. Available in 1P+N, 2-pole, 3P+N, and 4-pole versions, rated 16A–63A, with Type A (pulsating DC sensitive) or Type B (all-current sensitive for DC leakage in EVs, solar, or variable drives). Ideal for DIN-rail mounting in distribution boards or sub-circuits. B2B customers enjoy wholesale pricing, volume discounts up to 33%, 0% VAT intra-EU export, and expert support for cross-border projects.
Applications in Continental Europe
RCDs and RCBOs are required in residential, commercial, and industrial installations to prevent electrocution and electrical fires. Use them standalone, combined with MCBs, or as integrated RCBOs. Perfect for EV charger protection (Type B recommended for smooth DC leakage), wet areas, construction sites, renovation projects, and research facilities. Compliant across Germany (VDE), Netherlands (NEN 1010), Austria, Belgium, Switzerland (NIN), France (NF C 15-100), and other EU countries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – RCDs & RCBOs
What is an RCD?
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also called RCCB or Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalter (FI-Schalter), detects earth leakage currents and disconnects the circuit to prevent shocks or fires. Essential for safety in European installations.
What is the difference between RCD and RCBO?
An RCD protects against residual/earth faults only. An RCBO combines RCD protection with overcurrent and short-circuit protection (like an MCB) in one unit – ideal for individual circuit safeguarding.
Which RCD for EV chargers or Wallbox installations?
For electric vehicle charging, Type B RCDs (all-current sensitive) are recommended to handle smooth DC leakage currents safely. Type A suffices if the charger includes built-in DC detection (RDC-DD).
Can I use a 1-pole (1P+N) RCD?
Yes, 1P+N versions are suitable for single-phase applications, but 2-pole or 4-pole provide more comprehensive protection in three-phase or critical setups.
Where to buy RCDs and RCBOs in Europe?
At Ekabel24, we offer certified, high-quality devices at trade prices with fast shipping across Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, France, and the EU. B2B buyers get volume discounts and 0% VAT options.
Type A or Type B RCD – which to choose?
Type A detects AC and pulsating DC residual currents (standard for most applications). Type B handles all types including smooth DC – required for solar PV, frequency converters, medical devices, and many EV setups.
How to install an RCD or RCBO?
Installation must be done by a qualified electrician. Mount on DIN rail in the distribution board, connect lines correctly, and test with the built-in button. Follow national regulations (e.g., VDE in Germany, NEN 1010 in Netherlands).
Are these compatible with standard MCBs and distribution boards?
Yes – our modular devices fit common European systems (Hager, ABB, Schneider styles). Use separate RCD + MCB or integrated RCBO for full protection.
What certifications do your RCDs/RCBOs have?
VDE, CE, Semko approved, compliant with EN 61008 / EN 61009 and IEC standards – ensuring safety and acceptance throughout Europe.
Do you offer B2B discounts for companies?
Yes – electrical service providers, construction/renovation firms, and research centres receive special wholesale pricing, bulk rebates, priority support, and efficient EU-wide delivery.
