Active control circuits
Incorporate a ‘Re-set’ mechanism and are mains
failure sensitive, ie they will function under all the
normal conditions expected of an RCD, but will
also trip in the event of a power cut or a sudden,
dramatic reduction in mains voltage. This makes
them ideal for use where it would be hazardous
for equipment to suddenly energise after return of
mains power, such as use with rotating machinery
and heat developing apparatus.
Passive control circuit
Incorporates a ‘Stay-set’ mechanism and is
mains failure proof, ie it will function under all the
normal conditions expected of an RCD and will
not trip in the event of a power cut. This makes it
suitable for use with freezers or in inaccessible or
unmanned locations.
