RP - Series 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.

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. 44 /N RH11 - Auxiliary Contact and Signal Switch (switchable) (C.O./N.C.)

Dimensions in mm RP2 Temperature Range Fluctuating Climate Conditions Electrical Shock Protection Impact/Shock Protection Vibration/Seismic Resistance Protection Class Non-Sinusoidal Fault RP4 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 2b. 3. Insulation Category RP2 and RP4 Pulsating DC on 6mA DC (continuous) Base - Max. 1.4 times Fault RC + 6mA At VDE rated voltage, suitable for Class C environments with relatively high dust and moisture levels and little HVAC control, e.g., industrial, commercial, agricultural; on machine tools, hoists, warehouse equipment, etc.; in boiler rooms, unheated storage, covered shipping/receiving, open workshops, etc. Altech Corp.® • 35 Royal Road • Flemington, NJ 08822-6000 • Phone (908)806-9400 • FAX (908)806-9490 45
