SENTRON residual current protective devices (RCD)
Achieve space savings with a compact solution for residual current and line protection. Add a SENTRON 5SM6 AFD unit for protection against fault currents, overcurrent, short-circuits and arcing faults in
SENTRON Residual Current Protective Devices
As can be seen from the tripping curves, residual current protective devices do not limit the intensity of the residual current but provide protection due to fast disconnection of the power and therefore a
Distribution Box and Selection Guide: Internal Structure, Components
Residual-current protection detects current imbalance between live and neutral conductors. It is used to reduce electric-shock risk and, in some applications, fire risk caused by
Residual-current device
RCDs are designed to disconnect the conducting wires ("trip") quickly enough to potentially prevent serious injury to humans, and to prevent damage to electrical devices. A two-pole, or double-pole,
Residual Current Devices (RCDs)
An accurate protection of people and electrical equipment against leakage currents can be achieved by installing Residual Current Devices (RCDs).
The Meaning and Function of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary
