9What is an RCBO and how does it increase safety?
What is an RCD (Residual Current Device)?
What is an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)?
Important
An RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overload) is a circuit
protection device that combines the features of a RCD (Residual
Current Device) and an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker).
RCDs provide a fast power cut off to reduce the risk of electrocution.
RCD protection helps protect people against electrocution by
monitoring the power supply. If anything alters the flow of electricity,
such as the appliance lead being damaged exposing a person to
contact with live wires or if connected to faulty tools, the RCD will
instantly (typically within 30 thousandths of a second) switch off the
power.
Note: RCDs protect against faults to earth through the body, but do
not provide protection against faults between active to neutral. In
addition the supply lead of this product cannot be protected by the
RCD function as this lead is upstream of the RCD circuitry.
An MCB device will protect your Powercentre from damage under
overload conditions. If too many high current tools are plugged into
your Powercentre (drawing more than 10A/15A) the overload device
will automatically cut off the power.
■If your Powercentre repeatedly trips or fails to trip when tested
according to instructions, seek advice from your electrician or
HPM. Do not attempt to use the tool without the Powercentre as a
shock hazard may exist.
■Never plug your Powercentre into the socket of an extension lead.
Ensure it is plugged directly into a fixed powerpoint, the extension
lead can then be then plugged into your Powercentre. Do not
attempt to use the other way around, as the extension lead would
not be protected.
■Do not misuse by dropping or immersing in liquid. Do not store or
use in areas where the product is exposed to rain or other liquids.
Keep away from oils, petrols and chemicals.
■Electricity can be dangerous. The use of an Powercentre is not a
substitute for basic electrical safety precautions. Unplug tools to
achieve isolation before any inspection or repair.
■Contains no user serviceable parts inside. Opening will void the
HPM warranty.

8 Resetting the Powercentre
Should the Powercentre trip, the RCBO toggle under the clear
protective cover will switch to the OFF position.
A trip may indicate that a connected device has a fault causing a
leakage to Earth. In this case, all items connected to the Powercentre
should be disconnected and tested prior to use.
Alternatively the trip may have been caused by an overload on the
Powercentre. This may indicate that too many devices have been
plugged into the Powercentre and you have exceeded the rated
loading. Remove some load devices.
To restore power (after addressing the issue as described above)
simply switch the RCBO toggle under the clear protective cover to the
ON position.
