Residual current monitoring device BENDER
10...500mA

The AC and pulsed DC sensitive residual current monitor RCMA420-D (Type A) from Bender is designed for fault and residual current monitoring in earthed power supply systems (TN and TT systems) where an alarm is to be activated in the event of a fault, but disconnection must be prevented. In addition, the device can be used to monitor the current in single conductors, such as PE conductors, N-PE connections and PE-PAS connections. Due to the use of measuring current transformers, the device is nearly independent of the load current and the nominal voltage of the system.

The response value can be adjusted in the range of 10...500 mA. When the prewarning level is reached (50% to 100% of the response value), an alarm message is generated. This information achieved sufficiently well in advance can avoid unexpected disconnections and costly downtimes.

Typical application fields are: Residual current monitoring in earthed two, three or four conductor systems; construction site equipment; current monitoring of single conductors de-energized under normal conditions; socket-outlet circuits for devices which are operated unattended for a long time and which may not fail; alarm systems; safety devices.
