Schneider Vigi Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric Vigi earth-leakage protection products are designed to provide residual-current protection in compatible electrical installations. Depending on the specific Schneider product reference, Vigi technology may be incorporated into an earth-leakage circuit breaker or supplied as an add-on protection module for a compatible circuit breaker. For this reason, the exact model, rating and compatibility should always be checked before ordering.

Schneider’s Acti9 range includes products such as DPN Vigi and iDPN Vigi devices. For example, Schneider lists the Acti9 DPN Vigi A9N19638 as a 1P+N, 40A, 30mA earth-leakage circuit breaker. Schneider states that this type of device combines short-circuit and overload protection with residual-current protection and is designed in accordance with IEC 61009 requirements.

Schneider also uses Vigi add-on modules with ComPact NSX and compatible EasyPact CVS circuit breakers. These are different from a standalone RCBO and are installed with the appropriate compatible breaker to provide earth-leakage protection. Schneider’s documentation describes Vigi add-ons as protection modules that directly actuate the breaker trip unit when an earth-leakage fault is detected.

When purchasing a Schneider Vigi earth leakage circuit breaker, customers should check the exact reference number, number of poles, rated current, operating voltage, residual-current sensitivity, protection type and compatibility with the electrical panel or breaker. These details can vary substantially between Schneider models.

HN Electric provides electrical protection products for customers in Pakistan, with delivery and product support for residential, commercial and industrial requirements. If you are unsure which Vigi configuration is suitable, provide your existing breaker model and electrical-system details before ordering so the correct product can be identified.

The term ELCB is commonly used by Pakistani buyers when searching for earth-leakage protection, while Schneider product documentation may use terms such as RCCB, RCBO, Vigi or VigiPacT, depending on the product architecture. Using these related terms naturally on the product page helps customers find the correct Schneider product without confusing fundamentally different devices.

FAQs

What is a Schneider Vigi circuit breaker?

Vigi is Schneider Electric’s terminology for earth-leakage/residual-current protection. Depending on the product, Vigi protection can be integrated into a breaker or provided through an add-on module.

What does Vigi protection do?

It detects residual/earth-leakage current and initiates circuit disconnection when the device’s specified protection threshold and operating conditions are met.

Is a Vigi add-on the same as an RCCB?

No. A Vigi add-on module is designed to work with a compatible circuit breaker, while an RCCB is a complete residual-current circuit breaker. The exact Schneider product reference should be checked before purchase.

How do I select the correct Schneider Vigi?

Check the breaker family, manufacturer reference, number of poles, current rating, voltage, residual-current sensitivity and compatibility. For a Vigi add-on, compatibility with the existing MCCB/MCB is especially important.
