Single-circuit trip switch
The interference suppression filters of the LED control gear is designed to earth interferences in the form of leakage
current, whose typical value is less than 0.5mA in iLC CORE drivers.
The total leakage current of the luminaire can be greater because of the current introduced by elements such as the
LED module or the cabling.
This leakage current has to be taken into account in Class I installations so that the protective single-circuit trip
switches can be appropriately sized.
In three-phase modules, leakage currents are compensated by balancing the distribution of the luminaires’
connection between the three phases, while for single-phase networks, the maximum number of luminaires that can
be connected to each switch has to be calculated.
NOTES:
▪
Typically a maximum of 35 luminaires can be connected in a 30mA residential single-circuit trip switch. As this maximum
number can vary depending on the installation , ELT recommends that this is checked.
▪
The functional earth terminal may not be disconnected from the driver to reduce the leakage current value.
