Requirements for selecting residual current protection devices for three-level distribution boxes

Home / Requirements for selecting residual current protection devices for three-level distribution boxes

A residual-current device of type B must be used for the protection of the AC circuit. An exception to this requirement applies if the inverter manufacturer approves the inverter for other RCD types. The perfect combination of RD3 and RCQ020 range with miniature circuit-breakers S200 family and Tmax moulded-case circuit- ensures residual current protection up to 12 0A. This document provides general minimum requirements, recommendations and information for the drafting of standards on residual current operated protective devices (hereinafter referred to as residual current devices, "RCDs").
