Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCB)
RANGE
- Nominal Current: 16A~100A
- Leakage Current Sensitivity: 30, 100 & 300mA
- Pole Type: 2P & 4P
FEATURES
- Automatically measures the circuit; disconnects the circuit when ground fault / leakage current occurs and exceeds the nominal sensitivity
- High short circuit current withstand capacity (6kA)
Double termination is possible for both cable and comb type busbars
Faulty insulated equipment or improper use of electrical devices causes the current to flow through the insulation to the ground.
This is leakage current. This current creates two serious risk factors:
- Fire risk
- Electric Shock Risk
The Residual Current Switch provides the function of isolating switching and earth leakage protection of electrical circuits.
It also provides indirect protection of the operator's body against the dangerous effects of electric current.
It is also a protective device against fire caused by electrical circuit failure.
