RCCB Series compact Earth
Leakage Circuit Breakers detect
and interrupt earth (ground) faults.
They are VDE approved for the European system of protecting people, animals, equipment and property from dangerous line-to-ground
and shock hazard currents.
US applications include groundfault protection of equipment
(GFPE) using the 10mA and 30mA
fault current ratings, especially
when high distributed capacitance
or other leakages cause excessive
nuisance trips at lower fault currents. Applications for the 300mA
and 500mA ratings are equipment
protection and fire prevention, limiting the energy of a fault to less
than the minimum ignition energy
for many materials.

Fault Trip Current Calibration
FI trips are calibrated at less than fault trip current for ensured safety (Typical trip range between
66.6-83.3% fault trip current, e.g., typical trip at 20-25mA for fault RC of 30mA)
Typical Life
Fully functional after 5,000 operations to DIN/VDE 0664T10, IEC 61008-1 and 2000 additional fault current trips.

Temperature Range
Environmental Information marked with “Snowflake” approval for -25°C to 40°C (-13°F to 104°F)
ambient temperature. (Temperature effect on RC: for every 10°C temperature rise above 40°C
decrease RC by 7%.)
Fluctuating Climate Conditions
According to IEC 60068-2-30: heat (25°C~55°C), relative humidity (93%~95%)
Electrical Shock Protection
Uninsulated electrically live parts within 30mm of the operating handle are “finger safe” (terminal
screw heads) and uninsulated live parts within 100mm of the operating handle are “back-ofhand safe” (terminals).
Impact/Shock Protection
20g with impact force half-cycle sinusoidal and 20ms duration, 18 impacts total with 6 on each
principal axis (3 impacts each face). FI is DIN Rail mounted during the test, and electrically
loaded with 25% of Fault RC. Successful testing required no trip during the test, no damage and
no loosened parts.
Vibration/Seismic Resistance
5g, at frequency of ≤80Hz, applied for 30 minutes along each of the three principal axes, plus 5
minutes of application at every established critical resonant frequency. FI is DIN Rail mounted
during the test, and loaded with 25% Fault RC. To pass, the FI did not trip at 25% Fault RC, but
did trip between each of the principal axis tests when the fault current was raised to 125% Fault
RC, and there was no damage and no loosened parts. Suitable for machinery and mobile
vehicle applications.
Protection Class
IP20; higher protection Class is dependent on housing.
Non-Sinusoidal Fault
The FI is tested and approval stamped for tripping sensitivity to non-sinusoidal fault currents,
which become zero or almost zero within one cycle of the line frequency. Waveforms and
allowed trip-current ranges are as follows:
1.
AC Sinusoidal Fault - 0.5-1.0 times Fault RC
2a.
Pulsating DC Fault;
Positive and Negative Half-Waves - 0.35-1.4 times Fault RC
Phased Half-Wave, 90° - 0.25-1.4 times Fault RC
Phased Half-Wave, 135° - 0.11-1.4 times Fault RC
