xEffect FRCmM Type F residual current circuit breaker

Eaton offers a complete range of compact residual current devices for fault current/residual current and additional protection. Type F is a special variant of type A with altered frequency characteristics. The Type F RCD complies with IEC/EN 62423 and provides safe and reliable protection against sinusoidal residual currents and pulsating DC fault currents. It is also capable of handling residual currents with mixed frequencies of up to 1 kHz (10, 50, 1000 Hz) as defined with the IEC/EN 62423
Nominal currents
from 16 A to 100 A
Design according to
IEC/EN 62423
Residual currents
of 30, 100 and 300 mA

Core features

  • Residual current devices suitable for standard busbar connection to other xEffect devices
  • Twin-purpose terminal (lift/open-mouthed)
  • Universal tripping signal (red-green) switch, for FAZ, FRBmM-1N, auxiliary switch Z-HK can be mounted subsequently
  • Delayed types suitable for standard fluorescent tubes with/without electronical ballast (30mA: 30 units per phase conductor, 100m: 90 units per phase conductor)
  • The device functions irrespective of the position of installation
  • Tripping is line voltage-independent. Consequently, the RCD is suitable for “fault current/residual current protection” and “additional protection” within the meaning of the applicable installation rules.
  • Mains connection at either side
  • The 4-pole device can also be used for 2- or 3-pole connection.
  • Type -F: Increased protection in applications with 1-phase frequency, higher load rating with DC residual currents up to 10 mA.

Reliable protection for machines

These products provide optimal system and additional protection against residual earth leakage currents for a wide range of applications. They come with different tripping characteristics to cater for a variety of electrical systems and components. Available in a comprehensive range of nominal currents and with optional accessories.
Type F residual current devices offer the following benefits:

Increased protection

Increased protection thanks to:

  • detection of mixed frequencies
  • higher load rating for DC
    residual currents up to 10 mA

Reliable protection

 
 
  • Reliable protection for machines with
    1-phase frequency converters

Reduction of nuisance tripping

Reduction of nuisance tripping thanks to

  • time-delayed tripping
  • high current withstand capability

Designed for industrial use

Eaton's residual current circuit breakers are designed for industrial use with the xEffect series. This series covers the full spectrum of industrial and advanced commercial applications.
Safe and reliable protection against sinusoidal residual currents and pulsating DC fault currents

Applications

Type F residual current circuit breakers are designed specifically for use in applications with 1-phase frequency converters, such as pumps, welding units, vibrators or hammer drills. This Type F RCD enables machine builders and system integrators to develop equipment that is extremely reliable while ensuring high safety levels for operators and maintenance staff.
