Enhanced circuit protection with Elucian’s new 10kA 3 Pole + Switched Neutral Bi-Directional RCBO

March 10, 2026

Click Scolmore has announced the launch of Elucian’s new 10kA 3 Pole + Switched Neutral Bi-Directional RCBO, further expanding its comprehensive circuit protection portfolio.

Developed in response to growing market demand, the new 10kA 3 Pole + Switched Neutral Bi-Directional RCBOs are supplied with a one metre neutral fly lead and are available in a wide range of current ratings from 6A to 63A. Products are offered in both B Curve and C Curve variants, each featuring Type A 30mA protection. This ensures suitability across a broad spectrum of commercial and industrial applications where additional protection may be required.

Regulation 411.3.3 sets out the requirements for socket-outlets up to 32A to incorporate additional protection when being used by ordinary persons. While many installations use SWA cables in this environment – which typically do not require additional protection – the regulation is clear that additional protection is required for socket-outlets up to 32A. Installers often install an RCD closer to the socket. This approach can be costly and time-consuming. The new addition provides a reliable and space-saving solution for three-phase installations allowing multiple points to be installed on one RCBO, extending Elucian’s offering beyond its established single-pole solutions.

Designed for versatile applications

Designed with bi-directional functionality, the new RCBOs are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

Three-phase distribution boards – Providing 4-pole protection (three phases plus neutral) for machinery, HVAC systems and commercial equipment.
Renewable energy & HVAC systems – Ideal for air source and ground source heat pumps, solar PV systems and battery storage installations requiring dependable protection.
EV charging stations – Suitable for 32A and 40A installations requiring 30mA earth leakage protection.
Industrial environments – Motor control centres, automation systems and robotics, where reliable protection is critical to prevent costly downtime.
Commercial buildings – Offices, retail units, data centres and hospitals, where continuous operation is essential.
