Product Description
ABB Residual Current Devices
We are offering ABB residual current devices, which are categorized under MCB distribution board. These electrical devices are instrumental in safeguarding all the appliances under the scenario of some electrical hazard. These devices are reliable and provide complete safety to the electric power distribution. With the installation of these devices, it is possible to accurately protect the people as well as the electrical equipment against the leakage current. The ABB residual current devices are suitable for various applications in the areas of residential, commercial and industrial.
Reliable Protection Against Earth FaultsDesigned for the highest safety standards, ABB Residual Current Devices safeguard installations by rapidly disconnecting circuits during earth leakage or fault conditions, effectively minimizing risks of electric shock and fire. Their fast response time of less than 40 milliseconds, along with high electrical safety and robust insulation, makes them an optimal choice for both commercial and domestic electrical panels.
Versatile Installation and Configuration OptionsWith terminal capacity up to 35 mm, modular thickness, and multi-way configurations (1P+N, 2P, 3P, 4P), these RCDs fit a broad range of applications. Whether you require flush or surface mounting, they ensure flexible integration into new installations or system upgrades. Natural air cooling and screw-type terminals guarantee ease of use and secure connectivity.
Consistent Performance and LongevityABB RCDs are constructed with durable, high-grade components, including fire-retardant polymers and polycarbonate covers, ensuring extended life expectancy beyond 10,000 operations and over 20,000 mechanical cycles. Compliance with IEC/EN 61008-1, along with fast tripping and standardized module sizes, delivers reliable long-term performance.
FAQs of ABB Residual Current Devices:
Q: How do ABB Residual Current Devices enhance electrical safety?
A: ABB RCDs instantly detect and disconnect supply in the event of earth faults or leakage currents, reducing the likelihood of electrical shock and fire. Their response time is less than 40 ms, ensuring rapid circuit protection for both residential and industrial applications.
Q: What is the recommended process for installing these RCDs?
A: Installation is straightforward: mount the device onto the DIN rail, connect wires up to 35 mm using the secure screw terminals, and ensure correct phase and neutral connections. Always ensure the main power is off during installation and follow ABBs instructions and relevant local standards.
Q: When should I use an RCD with a 30 mA, 100 mA, or 300 mA tripping sensitivity?
A: A 30 mA sensitivity is typically suitable for personal protection against electric shock, often used in residential circuits. The 100 mA and 300 mA versions are ideal for enhanced fire protection and are usually applied in commercial or industrial settings where equipment protection is critical.
Q: Where can ABB RCDs be installed?
A: ABB RCDs are designed for installation in distribution panels, consumer units, and commercial boards. They can be flush or surface-mounted, depending on the panel type, and are suitable for both new installations and system upgrades.
Q: What types of currents and voltages can these devices handle?
A: These RCDs operate at a rated voltage of 230/400 V AC, supporting current ratings from 16 A up to 100 A, and a rated insulation voltage of 500 V AC, making them suitable for a wide range of electrical installations.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing ABB RCDs for my project?
A: Selecting ABB RCDs guarantees compliance with IEC/EN 61008-1, features including compact design, low power consumption, sturdy fire-retardant materials, and long service life. Their fast, reliable operation translates to enhanced protection and reduced maintenance for installers and end-users alike.
