Safety instructions
2.1 Intended use of the unit
Area of application
The EPA LEAK COMP ® 1C compensates capacitive currents with a frequency of 50 Hz
that occur due to EMC filtering of single-phase consumers.
The
LEAK COMP
®
1C leakage current compensation unit is used in electrical plants,
machines or devices that cause 50 Hz leakage currents and are to be operated on
residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs).
The
LEAK COMP ®
1C
compensates for the leakage currents occurring with single-phase
consumers during operation preventing inadvertent or ‘nuisance’ tripping of residual
current devices caused by excessively high 50 Hz leakage currents. The device works
with all common RCCBs of the types A, F, B and B+ (ideally with short-term delay; a
suitable type must be chosen according to the regulations!).
IMPORTANT NOTE
Operational leakage currents can accept frequencies ≠ 50 Hz and cause a
malfunction of the residual current device.
