Aeg DDM 1 N 16A 4.5KA A 2M Differential Circuit Breaker

The RCD (or "circuit breaker") protects people from electric shock. It measures the difference between the current entering and leaving the circuit. If there is a current leakage, for example, because a person touches an exposed wire, the RCD detects this leakage and immediately cuts off the power supply.

The circuit breaker's magnetic-thermal part performs two protective functions: Thermal (overload) protection: If the electrical current exceeds the nominal value of 16 amperes for a prolonged period (for example, due to too many appliances being turned on simultaneously), a bimetallic strip inside heats up and deforms, tripping the circuit breaker. This prevents overheating of the wiring and the risk of fire. Magnetic (short circuit) protection: In the event of a short circuit, a very high, instantaneous current surge occurs. The internal magnetic coil detects this surge and trips the circuit breaker within milliseconds, protecting the circuit.
