Residual current protective devices with rated residual currents of over 30 mA are also suitable for this purpose. In order to achieve the protective effect, the tripping conditions must be complied with.
The RD series is designed for leakage current detection, protection and monitoring functions. It is composed by DIN-rail mounted RD2 and RD3 relays.

The diagram depicts the internal mechanism of a residual-current device (RCD). The device is designed to be wired in-line in an appliance power cord. It is rated to carry a maximal current of 13 A and is designed to trip on a leakage current of 30 mA. This is an active RCD; that is, it latches electrically and therefore trips on power failure, a useful feature for equipment that could be dangerous on unexpected re-energisation.
RCDs are designed to disconnect the conducting wires ("trip") quickly enough to potentially prevent serious injury to humans, and to prevent damage to electrical devices. A two-pole, or double-pole,
Although visually similar to standard fuses, residual current relays operate on a different and far more sensitive protection principle. Their main role is to detect current leakage to ground by
Protective equipment designed to protect installations where there is a risk of DC current earth leakage or a combination of AC and DC current leakage. Used as universal protection for loads such as
What is an RCD? An RCD, or residual current device, is a life-saving device which is designed to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live, such as a bare wire. It can
What is an RCD? A residual current device is a protective device that automatically cuts off the power supply when it detects an abnormal current
Front panel residual current relays are electronic devices used in combination with an external toroidal transformer. They are according to the protection standard IEC 60947-2 Annex-M.
Figure 1 - Residual current device components The residual current device (rcd) is used to detect earth fault currents and to interrupt supply if an
AS/NZS 3000 also requires additional protection in most final sub-circuits by residual current devices to automatically disconnect the supply when an earth leakage current reaches a predetermined value.
A residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is an electrical safety device that detects and interrupts an electrical circuit when there is a leakage
SENTRON RCDs combine residual current detection and overcurrent protection in just one modular width (MW) to deliver reliable personal and cable protection. RCDs from the SENTRON portfolio offer
Aktif Residual Current Protection Relays are devices that give the command to open to the circuit breaker when the leakage currents that may occur in the electrical networks are observed and
Additional Protection Additional protection refers to a measure under certain conditions. This includes the residual current device (RCD) with its protective
The RD3 series of electronic residual current relays provides residual current protection and monitoring functions. This device can be used in conjunction with
The widely used United Sates standard ANSI/IEEE C37.2 ''Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations'' deals with protective device
