Maxge Alpha+ 2P differential, 40A, 30mA. Class A superimmunised. 6kA - EPRE2A040030

The Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A, 30mA is a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) designed to provide advanced protection against earth leakage current (shunts) in single-phase electrical installations.

This protective device acts by automatically disconnecting the power supply when it detects a current leakage to earth, avoiding the risk of electric shock and reducing the possibility of fire due to insulation faults.

It also ensures the safety of people and electrical installations, combining high sensitivity, high immunity to disturbances and high resistance capacity.

Thanks to its two-pole configuration (2-pole), its rated current of 40 A, its sensitivity of 30 mA, its class A and its super-immunised version, it is particularly suitable for single-phase installations with modern electronic equipment and sensitive or non-linear loads.

As part of Maxge's Alpha+ range, it is aimed at providing greater reliability and stability in modern installations.

Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A, 30mA Differential Characteristics

Configuration and electrical capacity

This differential has a 2-pole (2P) configuration, designed to cut phase and neutral at the same time when it detects a current leakage that could pose a risk to people or a fire hazard, and guaranteeing complete isolation of the circuit when it acts.

The differential works with a 40 ampere rated current, This makes it suitable for lines and circuits with medium-high consumption, such as residential switchboards with high electrification, small tertiary installations, offices, shops, secondary switchboards, circuits that feed several circuit breakers, air conditioning and lines dedicated to equipment of a certain power.
It must always be combined with suitable circuit breakers to protect against overloads and short circuits.
This rated current determines the maximum that the circuit breaker can withstand continuously without tripping due to overload, provided there is no earth leakage.

Your sensitivity of 30 milliamps (mA) is the standard protection value recommended for the protection of persons against indirect contacts and insulation faults.
If an earth fault or a current leakage of 30 mA or more is detected, the residual current device interrupts the power supply immediately to reduce the risk of shock. This prevents serious personal injury.
This is the standard value required in homes, offices, small shops, socket circuits and wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens).
With 30 mA a perfect balance between safety and continuity of service is achieved.

Protection for modern electronics

As it is a Class A differential, is capable of detecting both alternating current (AC) leakage and pulsating direct current (pulsating DC) leakage, which frequently occurs in modern electronic equipment and rectifier sources.

A Class A differential can identify more complex leaks than a basic Class AC differential, offering greater compatibility in existing installations.
This therefore enhances security and ensures more comprehensive and effective protection.

In addition, it is especially recommended for installations that include equipment with integrated electronics or non-linear loads, such as modern household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, induction hobs), computers, TVs, LED lighting with drivers, chargers, air-conditioning systems, small UPS, simple frequency inverters and computer or electronically controlled equipment.

Less shooting

The super-immunised technology incorporated in this differential allows greater resistance to electrical noise or transient electrical disturbances (voltage peaks, harmonics, small interferences) in the network.

This reduces unwanted tripping and ensures greater stability of supply without compromising safety.
It is especially useful in homes with a lot of electronics, offices, shops, multi-circuit boards and environments where supply stability is important.

The super-immunised differential is a highly recommended option when reliability and continuity of service are required.

Robustness in demanding conditions

Your 6 kA breaking capacity means that this differential is able to withstand and operate correctly in installations with short-circuit levels common in residential and commercial environments.

Although the differential does not replace the circuit breaker for short-circuit protection, this level of breaking capacity ensures that the equipment is ready to operate in switchboards with a standard capacity of 6,000 amperes.

Easy installation and practical design

This differential is designed to DIN rail mounting, It is quick and easy to install in any standard and modular electrical panel.

Your compact and robust 36 mm wide design (18 mm per pole) optimises the available space, and features a TEST BUTTON to verify its correct functioning and a visual status signalling (on/off), The circuit it protects can be easily identified.

In addition, it has some terminals which are prepared for cables of this current rating (25mm² in flexible cable and 35mm² in rigid cable).
This ensures firm, secure and durable connections.

These features facilitate both installation and maintenance.

Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A, 30mA differential operation

This differential has the following inner workings:

• Constant monitoring: The differential compares in real time the sum of the currents entering through the phases and leaving through the neutral.
• Leak detection: If there is a difference of more than 30 mA (an indication of earth leakage), the differential interprets that part of the current is flowing through an undesired path.
• Immediate firing: The differential disconnects the circuit within milliseconds to prevent dangerous contact or fire starting.

It is an ideal choice for environments where safety and continuity of service are a priority, such as homes with a high level of electrification, commercial premises, offices and small industrial installations.

It is important to bear in mind that this differential must be installed together with suitable circuit breakers.
