Essential Safety with the RCBO

The RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent Protection) is a fundamental safety device for your boat. It is specifically engineered to provide complete electrical protection by disconnecting the circuit during a fault. Consequently, it protects both your expensive equipment and everyone on board from electrical hazards.

Dual Protection in the Törkmar Design

• Overcurrent Shield: It detects short circuits or overloads and trips instantly to prevent cable damage.
• Leakage Detection: The residual current function identifies earth faults, protecting against electric shocks.
• Component Safety: Placed before the Victron Quattro, it acts as a primary guard for your inverter/charger.
• Double-Pole Security: It disconnects both live and neutral lines simultaneously for total circuit isolation.

In the Törkmar design, a 16A double-pole RCBO sits directly between the isolation transformer and the Quattro. Its primary role is to safeguard the Quattro by immediately disconnecting the supply if it senses a fault. Furthermore, this ensures that any issues from the mains supply are isolated before they can cause damage. Ultimately, this professional approach guarantees a safe and reliable power system.
