xEffect FRCdM Type A and F residual current circuit breakers​

Eaton´s FRCdM range of voltage-independent residual current circuit breakers  (RCCB) is your comprehensive solution for fault protection, additional protection, and fire protection.​

​FRCdM digitally assisted RCD function offers best-in-class performance in regards of system availability and reliability of fault current protection. The current system status can be communicated through an integrated auxiliary contact.

​FRCdM offers more flexibility in applications due to extensive certification and ratings. Superior protection is given with the xEffect range of RCCBs and is the solution for critical systems​.

Core features

  • Line voltage independent RCCB for fault protection, additional protection as well as fire protection​
  • Live status of the system communicated through an integrated auxiliary contact as well as on the device itself​
  • Digital assisted sensing of residual current to achieve the highest levels of system availability​
  • Reduced running costs due to a yearly test interval​
  • Ratings from 25A to 80A​
  • 3+N pole configuration​
  • Fault current tripping indicator enables to determine of the tripping reason​

xEffect Digital Switchgear

The digital RCCB from the xEffect series do more than just switch off. They monitor electrical installations and give advance warning of critical current flows. So plant / factory shutdowns – and the resulting costs – can be avoided.

Local indication
xEffect Residual Current Circuit Breaker FRCdM Type AC, A, U, R - green LED

Green

Fault current < 30 %
Everything is ok.

If the current flow in the system to ground is in the ambit from 0 to 30 % of the nominal fault current, the green LED indicates the proper status.
 

Yellow

Fault current 30-50 %
Check the connected devices.

The yellow LED shows a residual current in the ambit of 30 to 50 % of the nominal fault current. Before the system is shut down, professional countermeasures can be taken.
 

xEffect Residual Current Circuit Breaker FRCdM Type AC, A, U, R - red LED

Red

Fault current > 50 %
Contact an electrican.

When the red LED lights up, the leakage current is already higher than 50 % of the nominal fault current. Therefore the system is in a critical status – the digital RCCB only trips when the fault current continues to increase.

Reliable protection for machines

These products provide an optimal system and additional protection against residual earth leakage currents for a wide range of applications by offering different tripping characteristics to cater for various electrical systems and components that can generate. Available in a comprehensive range of nominal current values and with optional accessories.

Digital RCD with enhanced reliability

Type -A: AC and pulsating DC current sensitive. Protects against special forms of residual pulsating DC which have not been smoothed.
Type AC: AC current sensitive
Type -U: Suitable for speed-controlled drives with frequency converters inhousehold, trade, and industry. Unwanted tripping is avoided thanks to a tripping characteristic designed particularly for frequency converters.
Type -R: To avoid unwanted tripping due to X-ray devices.
