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.
