Modular residual current device
The modular residual current device (MRCD) is ideal for applications which require a high
degree of flexibility. It can be retrofitted easily in an existing installation, for example, in order
to provide residual current protection without the need for any major modifications to the
existing application.
Thanks to its modular design, it is compatible with all breaker designs and can therefore be
combined with 3VA1 molded case circuit breakers and with circuit breakers from the 3VA2
range.
Note
For possible combinations, please refer to Chapter Modular residual current device
(Page 478). Further tested combinations available on request.
The key features of the MRCD are:
●
Digital modular residual current device type A (compliant with IEC 60947-2 Annex M)
●
Response current I
