• Residual current devices

• Shape compatible with and suitable for standard busbar connec-

tion to other devices of the xEffect-series

• Twin-purpose terminal (lift/open-mouthed) above and below

• Busbar positioning optionally above or below

• Free terminal space despite installed busbar

• Universal tripping signal switch, also suitable for FAZ, FRBmM-1N

can be mounted subsequently

• Auxiliary switch Z-HK can be mounted subsequently

• Contact position indicator red - green

• Tripping indicator white - blue

• Additional Safety

- possibility to seal

- possibility to lock in ON and OFF position

• Delayed types suitable for being used with standard fluorescent

tubes with or without electronical ballast (30mA-RCD: 30 units per

phase conductor, 100mA-RCD: 90 units per phase conductor).

Notes: Depending of the fluorescent lamp ballast manufacturer

partly more possible. Symmetrical allocation of the fluorescent

lamp ballasts on all phases favourably. Shifting references of the

fluorescent lamp ballast manufacturer consider.

• The device functions irrespective of the position of installation

• Tripping is line voltage-independent. Consequently, the RCD is suit-

able for “fault current/residual current protection” and “additional

protection” within the meaning of the applicable installation rules.

• Mains connection at either side

• The 4-pole device can also be used for 3-pole connection:

See connection possibilities.

• The 4-pole device can also be used for 2-pole connection:

See connection possibilities.

• The test key “T” must be pressed every year. The system operator

must be informed of this obligation and his responsibility in a way

that can be proven. The yearly test interval is only valid for residen-

tial and similar applications. Under all other conditions (e.g. damp -

ly or dusty environment), it's recommended to test in shorter inter-

vals (e.g. monthly). A test is further needed if red and yellow LED

are on together.

• Pressing the test key “T” serves the only purpose of function test-

ing the residual current device (RCD). This test does not make

earthing resistance measurement (R

E

), or proper checking of the

earth conductor condition redundant, which must be performed

separately.

• 

Functioning

• Potential-free relay (NO contact, in parallel with the yellow LED, up

to 1 A ohmic load / 230 V~) for external prewarning function.

Bistabile, means the warning stays on also when the breaker trips,

until reset.

• 

Type -A

: Protects against special forms of residual pulsating DC

which have have not been smoothed.

• 

Type -G

: High reliability against unwanted tripping. Compulsory

for any circuit where personal injury or damage to property may

occur in case of unwanted tripping (ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001-1 § 12.1.6).

• 

Type -G/A

: Additionally protects against special forms of residual

pulsating DC which have not been smoothed.

• 

Type -R

: To aviod unwanted tripping due to X-ray devices.

• 

Type -S

: Selective residual current device sensitive to AC, type -S. 

Compulsory for systems with surge arresters downstream of the

RCD (ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001-1 § 12.1.5).

• 

Type -S/A

: Additionally protects against special forms of residual

pulsating pulsating DC which have not been smoothed.

• 

Type -U

: Suitable for speed-controlled drives with frequency con-

verters in household, trade, and industry. 

Unwanted tripping is avoided thanks to a tripping characteristic

designed particularly for frequency converters. 

See also explanation “Frequency Converter-Proof RCDs - What for?”. 

Application according to ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001-1 and Decision

EN 219 (1989), VDE 0100, SEV 1000.
