Residual Current Devices

Residual Current Devices - General Data

Short description of the most important RCD types:

Symbol Description

Eaton standard. Suitable for outdoor installation (distribution boxes for outdoor installation and
building sites) up to -25 C.

Conditionally surge-current proof (>250 A, 8/20 s) for general application.

RCD sensitive to pulsating DC for application where residual pulsating DC may occur. Non-selec-
tive, instantaneous. Protects only against special forms of residual pulsating DC which have not
been smoothed.

Type B: All-current sensitive RCD switchgear for applications where DC fault currents may occur.
Non-selective, non-delayed. Protection against all kinds of fault currents.

Type B+: All-current sensitive RCD switchgear for applications where DC fault currents may occur.
Non-selective, non-delayed. Protection against all kinds of fault currents. Also meets the require-
ments of the VDE 0664-400 standard (formerly known as VDE V 0664-110) and therefore provides
enhanced fire safety.

RCD of type G (min 10 ms time delay) surge current-proof up to 3 kA. For system components
G where protection against unwanted tripping is compulsory to avoid personal injury and damage to
VE E 8601
property ( 12.1.6 of VE/NORM E 8001-1). Also for systems involving long lines and high line
capacity. Some versions are sensitive to pulsating DC. Some versions are available in all-current
sensitive design.

RCD of type S (selective, min 40 ms time delay) surge current-proof up to 5 kA. Mainly used as
S main switch according to VE/NORM E 8001-1 12.1.5, as well as in combination with surge
arresters.This is the only RCD suitable for series connection with other types if the rated tripping
current of the downstream RCD does not exceed one third of the rated tripping current of the
device of type S. Some versions are sensitive to pulsating DC. Some versions are available in all-
current sensitive design.

"X-ray-proof", for avoiding unwanted tripping caused by x-ray devices.

rntgenfest

"Frequency converter-proof", for avoiding unwanted tripping caused by frequency converters,

"umrichterfest" speed-controlled drives, etc.

Tripping Characteristics (IEC/EN 61008)
Tripping characteristics, tripping time range and selectivity of instantaneous,
surge current-proof "G" and surge current-proof - selective "S" residual cur-
rent devices.
6.1.1 of VE/NORM E 8001-1/A1 deals with additional pro-
tection and provides essentially the following:
In circuits with sockets up to 16 A with fault current/residual current
protection by protective earthing, protective multiple earthing or
residual current devices (RCDs), additional residual current protection
devices with a rated tripping current of 0.03 A must be installed.

Residual Current Devices
Hints for the application of our frequency converter-proof RCDs:
Due to the currents flowing off through the filters (designated IF), the sum of
currents through the RCD is not exactly zero, which causes unwanted tripping.

Mains Frequency converters are used in a wide variety of systems and equip-

Screened motor line

ment requiring variable speed, such as lifts, escalators, conveyor

belts, and large washing machines. Using them for such purposes in
circuits with conventional residual current devices causes frequent

problems with unwanted tripping.
RCD

The technical root cause of this phenomenon is the following: Fast

switching operations involving high voltages cause high interference
levels which propagate through the lines on the one hand, and in the
form of interfering radiation on the other. In order to eliminate this
problem, a mains-side filter (also referred to as input filter or EMC-fil-
ter) is connected between the RCD and frequency converter. The anti-
interference capacitors in the filters produce discharge currents
against earth which may cause unwanted tripping of the RCD due to
Mains-side filter

between frequency converter and 3-phase AC motor results in the

same behaviour.

Tripping characteristic
This sample tripping characteristic of a 100 mA RCD and a 300 mA
RCD shows the following: In the frequency range around 50 Hz, the
RCDs trip as required (50 - 100 % of the indicated In).
In the range shown hatched in the diagram, i. e. from approx. 100 to
300 Hz, unwanted tripping occurs frequently due to the use of fre-
quency converters. Frequency converter-proof residual current
devices are much less sensitive in this frequency range than in the 50
- 60 Hz range, which leads to an enormous increase in the reliability of
systems.

Therefore, we recommend to use frequency converter-proof RCDs!

These special residual current devices can be recognised by an extension
of the type designation ("-U"). They meet the requirements of compatibil-
Frequency converter ity between RCDs and frequency converters with respect to unwanted
interference range
(approx. 100 - 300 Hz) tripping.

These are NOT AC/DC-sensitive RCDs of type B !!!

Our RCDs of type "-U" are characterised by SENSITIVITY TO RESIDUAL

PULSATING DC and SELECTIVITY S or SHORT-TIME DELAY G .

Protective Measures
The following rules for the application of RCDs of type" -U" are only applicable in those cases where an RCD of type "-B" is not explicitly demanded in the
instructions of the manufacturer of the frequency converter.

How can you make sure that the required protective measures are in place when using RCDs type -U and frequency converters in one system?

In Austria, the VE Decision EN 219 is applicable. In Germany, VDE 0100 is applicable, in Switzerland SEV 1000.

Under this standard In case of application in any other country than those mentioned
take into account national rules and recommendations.
frequency converters must be equipped with current limiting
devices in order to ensure disconnection in cause of faults or over-
load, and

the installer of a system is obliged to make sure that additional

equipotential bonding is provided (additional inclusion of all metal
components, such as frequency converters, mains filters, motor fil-
ters, etc. into the existing equipotential bonding), in order to ensure
that the permissible touch voltage of 50 V AC or 120 V DC is not
exceeded. (In VE/NORM E 8001-1 the term "touch voltage" has
been omitted. There is only a fault voltage limit of 65 V AC or 120 V
DC which must not be exceeded).

Residual Current Devices
Local Indication RCCB
Status indication LED red / yellow / green
Permanent light green Normal operation

Permanent light yellow The measured residual current is bigger than 30% of the nominal trip-
ping value.

Permanent light red The measured residual current is bigger than 50% of the nominal trip-
ping value.

Flashing yellow/red Check the device with test key. If the LEDs are still flashing check the
direction of connection (supply side / load side).

Remote Indication
Potential-free auxiliary switch for use in control circuits, insulated from main circuit of the switch gear according to IEC/EN60664.
0.25A ohmic load / 240V AC, terminal capacity: 0.25 - 1.5 mm2.
