RCB S24 Class A
S24 Class A RCDs: S24 residual current protection for modern electronic and rectified loads.
- Class: A class for AC and pulsating DC leakage.
- Series: S24 modular design for DIN boards.
- Formats: 2P and 4P versions.
- Sensitivity: 30mA and 300mA depending on protection level.
S24 Type A RCDs: references, poles and sensitivity
Solera S24 Type A RCDs detect sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. They are considered for circuits with electronic or rectified loads capable of producing those waveforms. The references published in this category are 2P and 4P devices rated 25, 40 and 63 A, with a sensitivity of 30 mA.

| S24DA2P2530 | 2P | 25 A | 30 mA |
| S24DA2P4030 | 2P | 40 A | 30 mA |
| S24DA2P6330 | 2P | 63 A | 30 mA |
| S24DA4P2530 | 4P | 25 A | 30 mA |

Selection for electronic loads
Select rated current to suit the circuit and its coordination with overcurrent protection. Then check poles, voltage and space. For example, S24DA4P4030 is rated 40 A, 30 mA and 400 V AC and occupies four modules; these details must not automatically be applied to the two-pole versions.
Type A does not imply smooth DC detection, high immunity or automatic resetting. For power electronic equipment, check possible residual currents and the equipment documentation before selecting Type A, Type B or a high-immunity version.
Frequently asked questions
What does Type A add compared with Type AC?
In addition to sinusoidal AC residual currents, Type A detects pulsating DC residual currents. This does not mean protection for every DC waveform; where smooth DC may occur, assess the specific requirements.
How do S24DA2P4030 and S24DA4P4030 differ?
Both are published with 40 A and 30 mA ratings. The former is designated 2P and the latter 4P. Selection must follow the network arrangement, neutral treatment, voltage and space, not simply their shared current and sensitivity.
Is an S24 Type A device automatically a high-immunity device?
No. The Type A and S24 high-immunity categories are distinct. Where increased immunity to disturbances is required, check that the reference expressly specifies it. Type A alone does not imply automatic resetting either.
