RCCB Earth Leakage
Circuit Breakers
RCCB Series compact Earth
Leakage Circuit Breakers detect
and interrupt earth (ground)
faults. They are VDE approved for
the European system of protecting people, animals, equipment
and proper ty from dangerous
line-to-ground and shock hazard
currents.
US applications include groundfault protection of equipment
(GFPE) using the 10mA and
30mA fault current ratings, especially when high distributed capacitance or other leakages
cause excessive nuisance trips at
lower fault currents. Applications
for the 300mA and 500mA ratings
are equipment protection and fire
prevention, limiting the energy of
a fault to less than the minimum
ignition
energy
for
many
materials.

FI trips are calibrated at less than fault trip current for ensured safety (Typical trip range between
66.6-83.3% fault trip current, e.g., typical trip at 20-25mA for fault RC of 30mA)
Fully functional after 5,000 operations to DIN/VDE 0664T10, IEC 61008-1 and 2000 additional fault current trips.

be connected to one phase for the test
circuit to be operable.
b For voltage systems without a neutral
conductor. Please use jumper from “1”
or “3” to top “N” terminal. This will
assure proper functioning of the “test”
circuit.
Note: If the power
system has a marked
conductor, it must
connect through the FI
and not be grounded at
any point downstream.

Environmental Information marked with “Snowflake” approval for -25°C to 40°C (13°F to 104°F) ambient temperature. (Temperature effect on RC: for every 10°C
temperature rise above 40°C decrease RC by 7%.)
According to IEC 60068-2-30: heat (25°C~55°C), relative humidity (93%~95%)
Uninsulated electrically live parts within 30mm of the operating handle are “finger
safe” (terminal screw heads) and uninsulated live parts within 100mm of the
operating handle are “back-of-hand safe” (terminals).
20g with impact force half-cycle sinusoidal and 20ms duration, 18 impacts total with
6 on each principal axis (3 impacts each face). FI is DIN Rail mounted during the
test, and electrically loaded with 25% of Fault RC. Successful testing required no
trip during the test, no damage and no loosened parts.
5g, at frequency of ≤80Hz, applied for 30 minutes along each of the three principal
axes, plus 5 minutes of application at every established critical resonant frequency.
FI is DIN Rail mounted during the test, and loaded with 25% Fault RC. To pass, the
FI did not trip at 25% Fault RC, but did trip between each of the principal axis tests
when the fault current was raised to 125% Fault RC, and there was no damage and
no loosened parts. Suitable for machinery and mobile vehicle applications.
IP20; higher protection Class is dependent on housing.
The FI is tested and approval stamped for tripping sensitivity to non-sinusoidal fault
currents, which become zero or almost zero within one cycle of the line frequency.
Waveforms and allowed trip-current ranges are as follows:
1.
AC Sinusoidal Fault - 0.5-1.0 times Fault RC
2a.
Pulsating DC Fault;
Positive and Negative Half-Waves - 0.35-1.4 times Fault RC
Phased Half-Wave, 90° - 0.25-1.4 times Fault RC
Phased Half-Wave, 135° - 0.11-1.4 times Fault RC
