Brennenstuhl FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter 16A / 30mA, type A, IP66. Protects people from fault currents – ideal for outdoor use, construction sites, and camping.
Brennenstuhl FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter – Reliable Personal Protection for Outdoor Use
The Brennenstuhl FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter is a compact personal protection adapter that plugs between the power outlet and the device. It detects dangerous fault currents and cuts off the power supply within milliseconds, providing maximum safety when working outdoors, on construction sites, or at home.
Reliably protects against fault currents – ideal for outdoor use where risks are higher.
Two-pole disconnection completely isolates the connected device from the mains for comprehensive protection.
The IP66-certified housing withstands water jets and dust – perfect for construction sites, gardens, and camping.
The compact design fits between any Schuko socket and the device – without requiring extra space.
What sets the FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter apart
Robust construction and reliable tripping characteristics make this residual current adapter a top choice for demanding environments. The 30 mA fault current (type A) also detects pulsating DC fault currents that may occur in modern appliances. With an IP66 rating, it is protected against powerful water jets and can be used permanently outdoors.
Ideal for electricians, DIYers, and construction sites
Whether on construction sites, in gardens, camping, or workshops – wherever people work with electrical devices in damp or dusty environments, this protective switch provides the necessary safety. It is also suitable for temporary use at events or in agriculture.
How to use the Brennenstuhl FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter
Simply plug the protective switch into a Schuko socket, then connect the desired device. After switching on, the switch automatically checks its function. Press the test button regularly to verify tripping readiness. In the event of a trip, the switch reliably disconnects the device from the mains.
Brennenstuhl is a German manufacturer of electrical installation materials and power strips. The company stands for safety and reliability in power distribution, for both professionals and private users. With products like the FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter, Brennenstuhl actively contributes to increasing electrical safety.
An FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter is a mobile protection adapter that plugs between the power outlet and the electrical device. It detects fault currents caused by insulation failure or contact with live parts and cuts off the power supply when the nominal fault current of 30 mA is exceeded. This protects people from dangerous electric shocks.
It is suitable for all devices with a maximum current draw of 16 A. It can be used both indoors and outdoors (IP66). Use is particularly recommended with power tools, garden equipment, camping gear, or on construction sites.
The switch constantly monitors the difference between the incoming and outgoing currents (fault current). When a fault current of 30 mA or more is detected, it cuts both poles (phase and neutral) within milliseconds – even for pulsating DC fault currents, as it is type A. The disconnection is independent of the fuse box.
Yes, the housing is IP66 certified, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. It can therefore be used outdoors, in rain, or in damp environments (construction sites, gardens, camping) without concern. The plugs and sockets are type A (NEMA, 2-pole).
The delivery includes the Brennenstuhl FI-Zwischen-Schutzschalter (16A / 30mA, type A, 250V, IP66) along with the instruction manual. No additional parts or adapters are required.
