Other Items 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.

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. 74 2 N Test HFI11 - Auxiliary Switch Contact Rating 6A / 230V AC 1A / 220V DC or pulsed Std.

(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: 1. 2a. 2b. 3.
