RCCBs, type A
■ Overview ■ Benefits 2
RCCBs of type A are used in all systems up to 240/415 V AC. They • Instantaneous RCCBs with the N-connection on the left-hand side
trip in the event of both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating enable simple bus-mounting with standard pin busbars with MCBs
DC residual currents.
RCCBs with a rated residual current of maximum 30 mA are used for
personnel, material and fire protection, as well as for protection
installed on the right-hand side
• Instantaneous RCCBs with the N connection on the right-hand side
can be bus-mounted with MCBs using a special pin busbar
3
against direct contact. RCCBs with a rated residual current of 10 mA • Instantaneous devices have a surge current withstand capability
are primarily used in areas that represent an increased risk for with current waveform 8/20 µs of more than 1 kA, super resistant of
personnel.
Since DIN VDE 0100-410 came into effect in June 2007, all socket
outlet current circuits up to 20 A must now also be fitted with residual
more than 3 kA and selective of more than 5 kA. This ensures safe
operation
• SIGRES has an extremely long service life due to patented active
4
current protective devices with a rated residual current of max. condensation protection and the same dimensions for the quick
and easy replacement of instantaneous RCCBs already installed
5
30 mA. This also applies to outdoor electrical circuits up to 32 A for
the connection of portable equipment. • Super resistant devices increase plant availability, as unnecessary
tripping is prevented in systems with short-time glitches
Devices with a rated residual current of maximum 300 mA are used
as preventative fire protection in case of insulation faults. RCCBs • Selective RCCBs increase plant availability, as in the event of a
with a rated residual current of 100 mA are primarily used outside fault, a staggered tripping time enables the selective tripping of
RCCBs connected in series
6
Europe.
SIGRES • Auxiliary switches or remote controlled mechanisms are also available
as additional components
SIGRES RCCBs were developed for use in harsh ambient conditions, • The operating handle and the test button can be locked by means
such as swimming baths as protection against chlorine and ozone, of a handle locking device.
7
in the agricultural sector (ammonia), on building sites and in the
chemical industry (nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, solvents), in the
food processing industry (hydrogen sulfide) and in unheated rooms
(dampness). The patented active condensation protection requires
the infeed from below with the RCCBs switched off.
Super resistant æ
Super resistant (short-time delayed) RCCBs meet the maximum
permissible break times for instantaneous devices. However, by
8
implementing a short-time delay they prevent unnecessary trippings,
and thus plant faults, when pulse-shaped leakage currents occur - as
is the case when capacitors are switched on.
Selective î 9
Selective RCCBs are used as upstream group switches for selective
tripping as opposed to the downstream, instantaneous or super
resistant RCCBs of type A. Selective RCCBs up to 300 mA are also
used as preventative fire protection against insulation faults. The
dimensioning of the rated residual current depends on the size of the
plant.

Residual Current Protective Devices 1
SIQUENCE, type B
Frequency converters, medical devices and UPS systems are seeing • Universal current-sensitive residual current protective devices detect
increasing usage in industry. Smooth DC residual currents or currents not only AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents,
with low residual ripple may occur in the event of faults on these devices.
Type A residual current protective devices are unable to detect
these smooth DC residual currents. Furthermore, such smooth DC
but also smooth DC residual currents, thus ensuring the desired
protective function with all types of residual current.
• The tripping characteristic is adapted to the increase of leakage
currents at higher frequencies in systems with capacitive impedances
3
residual currents make Type A devices increasingly insensitive to
and results in increased operating safety.
AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. Hence if a
fault occurs, there is no tripping and the desired protective function
is no longer assured.
Universal current-sensitive residual current protective devices of
• The RCBO is a compact device for up to 125 A. It provides not only
personnel, property and fire protection but also overload and
short-circuit protection for cables. This enables great savings on
wiring and installation costs.

Type B have an additional transformer which is supplied with a
5
control signal. It is therefore possible to evaluate the change of the
transformer's operating range caused by smooth DC residual
currents. The desired protective function is thus assured.
The devices in this series are designed as residual current operated
circuit breakers (RCCBs) up to 80 A and as residual current circuit
6
breakers with integral overcurrent protection (RCBOs) for 100 A or

Super resistant æ
Super resistant (short-time delayed) RC units satisfy the maximum
permissible break times for instantaneous devices. However, by
implementing a short-time delay they prevent unnecessary trippings,
and thus plant faults, when pulse-shaped leakage currents occur – as

RCBOs, type A
2 ■ Overview
RCBOs are a combination of an RCCB and a miniature circuit breaker Since DIN VDE 0100-410 came into effect in June 2007, all socket
in a compact design for personnel, fire and line protection. For personnel outlet current circuits up to 20 A must now also be fitted with residual
and fire protection, the residual current part of the type A trips in the current protective devices with a rated residual current of max.
event of sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual 30 mA. This also applies to outdoor electrical circuits up to 32 A for
currents. the connection of portable equipment.
RCBOs with a rated residual current of maximum 30 mA are used for In order to implement this protection, we recommend the use of
personnel, material and fire protection, as well as for protection RCBOs with 30 mA.
against direct contact. RCBOs with a rated residual current of 10 mA
are primarily used in areas that represent an increased risk for personnel Assignment to each individual branch circuit, helps prevent the
and the outdoor installations of residential buildings. unwanted tripping of fault-free circuits induced by the accumulation
of operation-related leakage currents or by transient current pulses
Devices with a rated residual current of maximum 300 mA are used during switching operations.

circuits and is available in characteristics B and C.
For further details on additional components, please refer to the
chapter "Miniature circuit breakers".
■ Benefits
For all versions For all 125 A versions

• Clear and visible conductor connection that can be easily checked • The RCBOs offer external remote tripping over terminals Y1/Y2.
in front of the busbar. This supports implementation of central OFF circuits.
• Large and easily accessible wiring space enables easy insertion of
conductor in the terminals.
• The surge current withstand capability of more than 1 kA ensures
safe and reliable operation.
• All additional components for miniature circuit breakers can be
retrofitted on the right-hand side.
For all 10 kA versions up to 40 A
• Integrated movable terminal covers located at the cable entries
ensure the terminals are fully insulated when the screws are tightened.
The effective touch protection when grasping the device considerably
exceeds the requirements of BGV A3.
• The RCBOs can be quickly and easily removed from the assembly
by hand if connections need to be replaced. This saves time if
parts need to be replaced because the busbars no longer need to
be freed from the adjacent miniature circuit breakers.
