Overview

Auxiliary switches (AS) signal the contact position of the RCCB.

Remote controlled mechanisms are used for the remote ON/OFF

switching of RCCBs. They also enable local manual switching.

A blocking function permits maintenance work. A tripped RCCB

must be acknowledged prior to switching back on.

The leakage current measurement device detects the leakage

currents – like the circuit breaker – thus providing a direct statement

as to the current loading of the RCCB. It is used to measure leakage

currents up to 300 mA. This requires a voltmeter with an internal

resistance more than 1 M /V and a measuring range for AC

voltages of U

rms

= 1 mV to 2 V V. For the fault-free operation of

an RCCB, the measured leakage current should be no greater

than 1/3 of the rated residual current.

Benefits

Using captive brackets, the remote controlled mechanism can

be attached (or retrofitted) to the right-hand side of the basic

device without the need for tools

Bus systems, such as instabus KNX, AS-Interface bus or

PROFIBUS, can be integrated in the communication over

binary inputs

The leakage current measurement device enables the systematic

selection of the rated residual current, thus preventing the

inadvertent tripping of RCCBs.
