Dongfa Intelligent COAFLE-32 Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker is designed for low-voltage terminal distribution systems requiring integrated residual current, overload, and short-circuit protection. The series covers rated currents from 6A to 63A, with 30mA/50mA residual operating current, 4500A/6000A rated short-circuit capacity, and 1P+N, 2P, 3P, 3P+N, and 4P configurations for different single-phase and three-phase distribution systems.
Dongfa Intelligent, a Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker manufacturer, supplies the COAFLE-32 series for low-voltage terminal distribution applications where residual current and overcurrent protection are required in the same device. The breaker integrates residual current, overload, and short-circuit protection, with rated currents from 6A to 63A and selectable 30mA or 50mA residual operating current. C and D trip characteristics are available for different circuit load conditions.
Integrated Protection for Terminal Distribution
The COAFLE-32 combines three protection functions within one circuit breaker: residual current protection, overload protection, and short-circuit protection. This configuration is intended for terminal circuits where leakage protection needs to be combined with conventional overcurrent protection.
Residual Current Protection
The series is available with 30mA or 50mA rated residual operating current. Its specified residual operating time is ≤0.1s at IΔn, ≤0.05s at 2IΔn, and ≤0.04s at 5IΔn.
The rated residual non-operating current is 0.5IΔn. This specifies the residual current level below which the breaker is designed not to operate.
Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
The breaker also provides protection against excessive current caused by overload and short-circuit conditions. The specified overload characteristics are 1.13In no trip and 1.45In trip under the corresponding test conditions.
For short-circuit protection, the specified characteristics include 2.25In trip and 5In no trip. The instantaneous trip characteristic is 10In for C type and 16In for D type.

Electrical Specifications and Available Configurations
The COAFLE-32 series provides several electrical configurations so the breaker can be selected according to the circuit voltage, phase arrangement, rated current, residual current requirement, and short-circuit conditions.
1P+N and 2P are available for 230V single-phase systems. 3P, 3P+N, and 4P are available for 230/400V three-phase systems.
Rated Current
The series covers rated currents from 6A to 63A. Available ratings include 6A, 10A, 20A, 25A, 32A, 40A, 50A, and 63A depending on the selected frame configuration. The rated current should be matched to the protected circuit and load requirements.
Residual Operating Current
30mA and 50mA options are available. The required residual operating current should be selected according to the protection requirements of the electrical installation.
Trip Characteristic
C type has an instantaneous trip characteristic of 5-10In, while D type is 10-14In. Selection should consider the load characteristics and starting current of the protected circuit.
Short-Circuit Capacity
The COAFLE-32 is available with 4500A or 6000A rated short-circuit capacity. The selected value should correspond to the short-circuit conditions of the installation.
Applications in Low-Voltage Distribution
The Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker is intended for low-voltage terminal distribution circuits where residual current protection needs to be combined with overload and short-circuit protection. Its different current ratings and pole/wire configurations allow it to be used across single-phase and three-phase distribution arrangements.
230V single-phase terminal distribution
230/400V three-phase distribution
Circuits requiring 30mA or 50mA residual current protection
Terminal circuits requiring integrated leakage and overcurrent protection
Replacement projects requiring a matching pole, current, trip, and residual current configuration
Frequently Asked Questions
What protection functions are integrated into the COAFLE-32?
The COAFLE-32 integrates residual current, overload, and short-circuit protection in one circuit breaker. This makes it suitable for terminal circuits where these protection functions are required together.
What is the difference between 30mA and 50mA residual operating current?
The two options have different rated residual operating current values. The appropriate option should be selected according to the protection requirements of the electrical installation and the specified system design.
How do I choose between 1P+N, 2P, 3P, 3P+N, and 4P?
1P+N and 2P are specified for 230V single-phase systems, while 3P, 3P+N, and 4P are specified for 230/400V three-phase systems.
What does the 2000A rated residual making and breaking capacity mean?
The rated residual making and breaking capacity of the COAFLE-32 is 2000A. This parameter specifies the product's rated capability for making and breaking residual fault current under the applicable test conditions.
Can the COAFLE-32 be used for replacement projects?
Yes. For replacement projects, the original breaker model, mounting dimensions, pole/wire configuration, rated current, residual operating current, trip characteristic, and quantity should be provided for compatibility review.
What is the standard lead time for the COAFLE-32?
Standard Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker products have a stated lead time of 7-15 working days. Custom products generally require 15-30 working days. Standard products support a minimum trial order of 1 unit.
Selection Information for Replacement Projects
For replacement applications, the original breaker information should be checked before selecting a COAFLE-32 configuration. Rated current alone is not sufficient to confirm compatibility.
The following information can be provided for technical review:
Original breaker model
Mounting dimensions
Pole/wire configuration
Rated current
Rated residual operating current
Trip characteristic
Required quantity
For project quotations, the required short-circuit capacity should also be confirmed so that the appropriate configuration can be selected.
