FI Earth Leakage
Circuit Breakers
FI 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 property
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 rating are equipment protection and fire prevention, limiting the energy of a fault
to less than the minimum ignition
energy for many materials.

Fault Trip Current Calibration
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)

c For voltage systems without a neutral
conductor. Please use jumper from “1”

Note: If the power system has a
marked conductor, it must connect
through the FI and not be grounded at

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%.)
To maximum 45°C, 95% relative humidity.
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).
15g with impact force half-cycle sinusoidal and 11ms 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 55Hz to 2,000Hz, applied for 35 ± 5 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.
Ingress Protection (IP) Class 40; internal working components and live parts (excluding terminals) are
protected against ingress of solid objects greater than 1mm diameter (class 4-), but have no
protection from ingress of water (class-0).
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 tripcurrent ranges are as follows:
