In a previous post, I mentioned that the installation of a residual current circuit breaker or RCCB with current leakage sensitivity of 10mA for a water heater, is a statutory requirement under the Electricity Regulation.
In this picture (ignore the sweaty face, baru habis yoga), I am holding an Easy 9 RCBO.
Firstly, what is a RCBO and what does it do?
RCBO is a combination of an MCB and RCCB.
This RCBO provides 3-in-1 protection from overload, short circuit and electrocution.
(The MCB protects against overload & short circuit and the RCCB protects against electrocution, so you need both the MCB and the RCCB for complete protection).
Soooo... this Easy 9 RCBO is compact in size – you don't need to size up your DB box.
The installation is simple too! Just take out the MCB and replace it with the Easy 9 RCBO.
But remember, the RCBO MUST be installed by a certified electrician – do not attempt this yourself.
This Easy 9 RCBO is specially designed and produced for the Malaysian market
