Residual Current Circuit Breaker or RCCB is a type of circuit breaker that ensures electrical protection and prevents accidents, deaths and other mishaps. This device senses current and interrupts low voltage circuits in case of faults by disconnecting the primary circuit within seconds.The Acti 9 xID and ID 125 by Schneider Electric are professional-grade RCCBs that provide optimum safety with long and reliable service.
- Nominal current: up to 125A
- 30mA sensitivity: additional protection against direct contact (in accordance with IEC 364)
- 100, 300, 500 mA sensitivities: additional protection against fire and indirect contact (in accordance with IEC 364)
- Class AC - for normal installation
- Class Si (New) - for electrically disturbed networks (with harmonics, pulsating DC components etc.) & for harsh environments (presence of corrosive atmosphere, chemical gases, humid location etc)
- 4P RCCB is also suitable for 3phase 3 wire installation
- Conforms to IS 12640 and IEC/EN 61008
- ISI and CE marked
- Suitable for isolation in accordance with industrial standards: IEC 60947
- Intermediate auxiliary required for add-on protection and indication auxiliaries
- ID-125 RCCBs are suitable for indication OFsp auxiliary only
- Suitable for additional Protection and Indication auxiliaries: ON/OFF, Trip, Shunt trip, Undervoltage trip, Overvoltage trip, Communication Auxiliary
Benefits
A residual current circuit breaker (rccb) is a crucial safety component installed in electrical circuits. It offers protection against voltage fluctuations, electricity leaks and earthing faults. The primary function of an rccb is to automatically break the electric circuit when the rated sensitivity is breached. Generally, it is used in industrial and commercial establishments to offer protection against fire and electrocution as a safety measure. Below we have mentioned some of the many benefits of deploying Acti 9 xID and ID 125 RCCBs from Schneider Electric India:
- Easy monitoring: Earth fault indication on front face
- Immunity against nuisance tripping
- New SI RCDs offers enhanced immunity to electrical disturbances and polluted & corrosive environments
- Ensures no accidental contact with live part – Finger-proof IP-20 terminals
- Avoids false insertion of cables and loose termination with Pull up terminals
- 100% recyclable & recoverable materials.
Applications
Protection in all industrial and commercial buildings against:
- Electrocution (in accordance with installation standard IEC 60364 and national standards)
- The risk of fire due to current leakage into building electrical installations.
- RCCBs guard against electrical shock in both home and industrial wiring.
- RCCBs are used to guard against earth leakage faults.
- RCCBs are typically found in low-voltage applications such as office spaces, industrial layouts, and residential homes.
- In low-voltage settings, RCCBs are used.
- RCCBs are also employed in office electrical systems.
- It's been used in both industrial and residential settings.
