Regulations and rules
The PRCD-S was developed based on DIN VDE 0661 Port
-
able protective devices intended for an increase in the pro-
tection level for a rated voltage U
n
= 230 V, rated current In
≤ 16 A, rated residual current I
ΔN
≤ 30 mA).
The employer‘s liability insurance associations (BG ETEM
(Energie Textil Elektro) among others) recommend the
PRCD-S as an effective protective measure for connecting
portable consumers to outlets of unknown protection
(unknown protective device) in their guidelines (BGI 608 /
