IEC 62020 specification PX3 with RCM characteristics
Connection of load
conductors Monitored line is directly connected.
Fault indicating means Visual, with other output signals.
Ability to directly
discriminate Directionally non-discriminating.
Rated residual operating
current 0.5A (highest value).
Residual currents with
direct current components Model dependent.
Models ending in -M5 are Type A, -M11 are Type B.
RCM Self-Test
PX3 with RCM have a built-in self-test feature that performs these
functions:

When residual current is less than 3mA, 15mA is momentarily added
to determine whether the low reading is due to a faulty sensor. The
residual current added is done in a safe manner which does not run
current into ground or pose operator risk.

The RCM state sensor changes to SELF-TEST and then back to its
original state if self-test passes, or to the FAILURE state if self-test
fails. These state changes are useful to verify your monitoring
systems (SNMP, syslog, or email) are correctly set up to receive PX3
event notifications.
Note: If self-test fails, the FAILURE state persists until another self-test
runs and passes.
Web Interface Operations for RCM
The RCM is a PX3 inlet sensor. To view, configure or run self-test, click
Inlet in the
Menu
(on page 132).
Checking RCM State and Current
A section titled 'Residual Current Monitor' is available on the Inlet page,
showing both the present RCM state and residual current.
To check RCM state and current on the Inlet page:
1. Click Inlet. See Web Interface Operations for RCM (on page 591).
2. Locate the Residual Current Monitor section on the Inlet page.
