Super resistant
Super resistant (short-time delayed) RCCBs meet the maximum
permissible break times for instantaneous devices. However, by
implementing a short-time delay they prevent unnecessary
tripping operations, and thus plant faults, when pulse-shaped
leakage currents occur as is the case when capacitors are
switched on.
Selective
Can be used as upstream group switch for selective tripping
contrary to downstream, instantaneous or short-time delayed
RCCBs.

Overview
Frequency converters, medical devices and UPS systems are
seeing increasing use in industry. Smooth DC residual currents
or 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 residual currents make type A devices increasingly insensitive to AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents.
If a fault occurs, there is therefore no tripping and the desired
protective function is no longer assured.
UC-sensitive residual current protective devices of types B
and B+ have an additional transformer which is supplied with a
control signal. This enables an evaluation of the change of the
transformer's operating range caused by smooth DC residual
currents, thus ensuring the desired protective function.
The residual current protective devices of type B are suitable
for use in three-phase current systems before input circuits with
rectifiers. They are not intended for use in DC systems and in
networks with operating frequencies other than 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Benefits
Universal current-sensitive residual current protective devices
detect not only AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual
currents, but also smooth DC residual currents, thus ensuring
the desired protective function with all types of residual
current
With type B, the tripping characteristic is adapted to suit the
increase of leakage currents at higher frequencies in systems
with capacitive impedances, thus ensuring greater operating
safety
Type B+ versions offer enhanced preventative fire protection
and correspond to the prestandards DIN V VDE V 0664-110
and/or DIN V VDE V 0664-210 and VdS Directive 3501
The RCBO is a compact device for up to 125 A. It provides not
only personnel, material and fire protection but also overload
and short-circuit protection for cables. This reduces wiring
and mounting outlay
The RCBOs offer external remote tripping over terminals
Y1/Y2. This supports implementation of central OFF circuits

Overview
RC units are used in all supply systems up to 240/415 V AC.
Devices of type AC trip in the event of sinusoidal AC residual
currents, type A also trips in the event of pulsating DC residual
currents.
In addition, RC units, type F also detect residual currents with
mixed frequencies up to 1 kHz.
RCCBs with a rated residual current of maximum 30 mA are
used for personnel, material and fire protection, as well as for
protection against direct contact.
Devices with a rated residual current of maximum 300 mA are
used as preventative fire protection in case of insulation faults.
RC units are combined with miniature circuit breakers with
characteristics A, B, C and D, provided that these are available
in the MCB range. The two components are simply plugged
together without the need for any tools.
Benefits
Our wide variety of RC unit types and comprehensive range of
miniature circuit breakers offer a huge spectrum of combinations for all applications
Instantaneous type A devices have a surge current withstand
capability with current waveform 8/20s of more than 1 kA,
super resistant of more than 3 kA and selective of more than
5 kA. This ensures safe operation
All additional components for miniature circuit breakers can
be retrofitted on the right-hand side
All 100 A and 125 A RC units offer external remote tripping
over terminals Y1/Y2. This supports implementation of central
OFF circuits
Both components can be simply plugged into each other and
secured with captive metal brackets no tools required. This
saves considerable time when mounting

Overview
RCBOs are a combination of an RCCB and a miniature
circuit breaker in a compact design for personnel, fire and
line protection. For personnel protection and fire protection,
the residual current part of the type AC trips in the event of
sinusoidal AC residual currents, type A also trips in the event
of pulsating DC residual currents.
In addition, RCBOs type F also detect residual currents with
mixed frequencies up to 1 kHz.
RCBOs with a rated residual current of maximum 30 mA are
used for personnel, material and fire protection, as well as for
protection against direct contact. RCBOs with a rated residual
current of 10 mA are primarily used in areas that represent an
increased risk for personnel and in the outdoor installations of
residential buildings.
Devices with a rated residual current of maximum 300 mA are
used as preventative fire protection in case of insulation faults.
The MCB part of the RCBO protects lines against overload and
short circuits and is available in characteristics B and C.
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 current protective devices with a rated
residual current of max. 30 mA. This also applies to outdoor

More information
Selectivity of RCBOs/fuses
Distribution systems are usually set up as radial networks. An
overcurrent protection device is required for each reduction of
the conductor cross-section. This produces a series connection
staggered according to rated currents, which should, if possible,
be "selective".
Selectivity means that, in the event of a fault, only the protective
device that is directly next to the fault source in the current path
is tripped. This means that current paths in parallel can maintain
a power flow.

Overview
Characteristics
The Siemens portfolio of protective devices has been proving
itself in the field for many years. This range of fuses, miniature
circuit breakers and residual current protective devices has now
been expanded to include AFDDs (arc fault detection devices).
These AFDDs detect arcing faults caused by serial faults or
loose contacts or as a result of insulation faults that enable
contact between phase conductors or between phase and
protective conductors. They therefore offer extremely effective
protection against fires started by electrical faults.
Generally speaking, hazardous arcing faults in the power
circuit can be caused by damage to cables and insulators,
and by contamination. Insulation faults result, for example,
from vibration, thermal expansion and contraction, mechanical
loads and aging.

The AFDD is specially designed to detect the specific characteristics of these arcing faults, and it reliably disconnects the
affected circuit as soon as the limit values are exceeded.
Parallel arcing fault between phase conductor/neutral conductor
or phase conductor/phase conductor
This is caused by electric arcs resulting from damage to the
insulation that permits contact between the two conductors.
In this case, the level of current is determined by the impedances in the circuit. Depending on the rated current of the
overcurrent protection device (for instance a miniature circuit
breaker), tripping can take place. However, if the impedance
in the circuit is too high to reach the trip current of the overcurrent
protection device, no tripping takes place. AFDDs disconnect
the currents of arcing faults upwards of 2.5 A, thus providing
reliable protection in the case of such faults.
Parallel arcing faults between phase conductor/protective
conductor
Arcing faults against the protective conductor are reliably
detected and shut down by residual current protective devices.
Residual current protective device with rated residual currents
up to max. 300 mA have already been providing effective fire
protection in such cases for many years.
AFDDs also detect these arcing faults and provide sufficient
fire protection where no residual current protective device is
implemented.

Overview
4-pole 5SM3 RCCBs are bus-mounted either together or in
combination with miniature circuit breakers. RCCBs with an
N conductor connection on the left-hand side facilitate installation because standard busbars are used, as those used for bus
mounting miniature circuit breakers.
Busbars in 10 mm2 and 16 mm2 versions are available.
The extremely flexible 5ST36 busbar system with fixed lengths
also enables installation in any lengths as the busbars can be
overlapped.
Benefits
Connection of miniature circuit breakers to 4-pole RCCBs with
N connection right and three-phase busbar, using busbar
specially designed for this application. No cutting or end caps
required.

Protection by means of residual current protective devices
In the case of "automatic disconnection of the power supply" by
means of a residual current protective device, it is essential that
the system components and equipment to be protected are
fitted with an appropriately grounded PE conductor. This means
that it is only possible for a person to be subjected to a flow of
current if two faults occur (in addition to an insulation fault, the
interruption of the PE conductor) or in the event of accidental
contact with live parts.
It also shows the tripping ranges of the residual current protective devices with rated residual current of 10 mA and 30 mA and
the max. permissible tripping times according to VDE 0664-10.
As can be seen from the tripping curve, residual current protective devices do not restrict the level of the residual current, rather
they have a protective effect due to the fast disconnection of the
current, and thus short contact time.

Based on this assumption, a touch voltage of 230 V would produce a dangerous leakage current of 230 mA. The figure "Areas
of impact of alternating current 50/60 Hz on the human body"
shows the current intensity/contact time curves with reference to
the physiological reactions of the human body. The dangerous
values are the current intensity/contact time values in range 4,
as they can trigger ventricular fibrillations, which can cause
death.

Due to the use of electronic components in household appliances and industrial plants, insulation faults can also cause
residual currents that are not AC residual currents to flow
through residual current protective devices, even in the case
of devices with ground terminals (safety class I).
