Legrand 402037 RX3 Interruttore differenziale 40A 2 poli 30mA tipo A 230V AC 2 moduli

Electrical faults can strike without warning, leaving circuits vulnerable to leakage currents that standard breakers may miss. The Legrand 402037 RX3 residual current device (RCD) steps in as a critical safeguard, instantly disconnecting power when it detects harmful residual currents—protecting both people and equipment from the risks of electric shock and fire. This 2-pole, 40 A unit with a 30 mA sensitivity is engineered for residential and commercial installations where reliability is non-negotiable.

Who is it for

Electricians, panel builders, and facility managers who need a dependable Type A RCD for AC and pulsating DC fault currents. It fits perfectly in distribution boards where space is tight, thanks to its compact 2-module width, and is ideal for circuits supplying socket outlets, lighting, or appliances.

Main features

• Type A tripping: detects AC and pulsating DC residual currents, covering modern loads like washing machines and LED drivers.
• 40 A rated current and 30 mA sensitivity: balances high load capacity with personal protection against electric shock.
• 2-pole design for single-phase 230 V AC networks, with 6 kA short-circuit withstand rating.
• DIN rail mounting with screw terminals accepting rigid conductors up to 35 mm² and flexible up to 25 mm².
• Test button and clear ON/OFF indicator for quick verification and status checks.
• Meets IEC/EN 61008-1, with 10,000 electrical and 20,000 mechanical cycles for long service life.
