Eaton PFIM Series Residual Current Device, 40A, 4-Pole, 30 mA, Type A, 10 kA 230V, 400 V

Step up your workplace safety with this RCD from Eaton. It shuts down connected equipment at the first signs of electrical imbalance or power fault, minimising the risk of overheating and electric shocks. This makes it an essential bit of kit in a host of applications, from process control engineering to domestic appliances. This component has type-A tripping characteristics, so it trips when the supply current hits two to three times its rated current of 40A. The module has four poles, so you can monitor up to four circuits in one go.

• Operating temperature range between -25°C and +60°C for use in demanding environments

With a short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA, this unit is poised to protect medium-powered systems.

A front-facing toggle switch lets you quickly reset the breaker after a trip and there's a test button for making quick system checks.
