Votronic RCBO Residual Current Device 2154
Votronic RCBO Type 2P (RCBO, double pole)
The Votronic RCBO Type 2P (Art. No. 2154) is an RCBO that monitors both conductors (L and N) and completely switches off both poles in the event of a fault. This ensures full personal protection – particularly important in mobile installations with shore power, where a reversed connection of L and N can never be entirely ruled out in practice. For precisely this reason, the 2P version is the logical solution and is also required in common guidelines.
Your advantages at a glance
- Maximum personal protection: Disconnection of L and N in case of fault
- More safety with shore power: Protection even if L/N are reversed during connection
- Double-pole monitoring: both conductors are controlled, not just "carried along"
- Practical for mobile installations: ideal for campers, boats, and applications with changing feed-in points
Why Type 2P instead of 1P+N?
With 1P+N variants, typically only the live conductor is "actively" switched – this can limit the protective effect if L/N are reversed. The RCBO Type 2P plays it safe: it monitors both conductors and reliably disconnects them in the event of a fault. This is precisely the point that makes the difference in reality at shore power pedestals and changing installations.
If you want uncompromising protection in your 230 V system, the Votronic RCBO Type 2P (2154) is the right choice – because it reliably disconnects both poles even with reversed conductors.
