RCD is an acronym for Residual Current Device - sometimes it can be called also Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or
Safety Switch. Its purpose is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch live part, such as a bare
copper wire under high voltage. RCDs offer a level of personal protection that ordinary fuses/circuit-breakers
cannot provide. RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it
protects. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as through a person who has touched a
live part, the RCD will switch the circuit off very quickly, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury.
PC05T is equipped with Metron RCD Type B device called RCDB1-316CEE which represents maximum possible
level of personal protection as it protects users from AC, pulsating DC, pure DC and also high frequency AC
leakage currents. In order to ensure “BOXLESS” design of PC05T portable charger RCD is packed inside 3-phase
16A CEE plug itself what eliminates even the smallest unsafe section found on other portable chargers where
there is at least 30cm of unprotected cable between wall plug and “bulky” in cable control box.
Red LED indicates RCD cut-off the power because of leakage current detection.
To reset just unplug, wait a second, and plug it in again.

On request PC05T can be also supplied without RCDB1-316CEE. The use of PC05T
portable charger version without RCD protection is allowed exclusively on the
installations protected by RCD.
In the event the cable has been damaged the product should be removed from
use immediately!
3-phase portable charger PC05T can also charge from any domestic wall socket
(e.g. Schuko) or 1-phase 16A CEE “camper” socket if proper adapter is used. In such
case PC05T behaves like a regular 1-phase portable charger (same charging
current/power).
