aFor 2-Phase applications, terminal 5
and 6 (next to Neutral terminals) must
be connected to one phase for the test
circuit to be operable.
bFor voltage systems without a neutral
conductor. Please use jumper from “1”
or “3” to top “N” terminal. This will
assure proper functioning of the “test”
circuit.

FI trips are calibrated at less than fault trip current for ensured safety (Typical trip range between
66.6-83.3% fault trip current, e.g., typical trip at 20-25mA for fault RC of 30mA)

They are VDE approved for the Eu -

US applications include ground-
fault pro tec tion of equip ment
(GFPE) using the 10mA and 30mA
fault current rat ings, es pe cial ly
when high distributed ca pac i tance
or other leakag es cause ex ces sive

and 500mA ratings are equip ment
protection and fire preven tion, lim -

Environmental Information marked with “Snowflake” approval for -25°C to 40°C (-13°F to 104°F)
ambient temperature. (Temperature effect on RC: for every 10°C temperature rise above 40°C
decrease RC by 7%.)
According to IEC 60068-2-30: heat (25°C~55°C), relative humidity (93%~95%)
Uninsulated electrically live parts within 30mm of the operating handle are “finger safe” (terminal
screw heads) and uninsulated live parts within 100mm of the operating handle are “back-of-
hand safe” (terminals).
20g with impact force half-cycle sinusoidal and 20ms duration, 18 impacts total with 6 on each
principal axis (3 impacts each face). FI is DIN Rail mounted during the test, and electrically
loaded with 25% of Fault RC. Successful testing required no trip during the test, no damage and
no loosened parts.
5g, at frequency of 80Hz, applied for 30 minutes along each of the three principal axes, plus 5
minutes of application at every established critical resonant frequency. FI is DIN Rail mounted
during the test, and loaded with 25% Fault RC. To pass, the FI did not trip at 25% Fault RC, but
did trip between each of the principal axis tests when the fault current was raised to 125% Fault
RC, and there was no damage and no loosened parts. Suitable for machinery and mobile
vehicle applications.
IP20; higher protection Class is dependent on housing.
The FI is tested and approval stamped for tripping sensitivity to non-sinusoidal fault currents,
which become zero or almost zero within one cycle of the line frequency. Waveforms and
allowed trip-current ranges are as follows:
1. AC Sinusoidal Fault - 0.5-1.0 times Fault RC
2a. Pulsating DC Fault;
Positive and Negative Half-Waves - 0.35-1.4 times Fault RC
2b. Phased Half-Wave, 90° - 0.25-1.4 times Fault RC
Phased Half-Wave, 135° - 0.11-1.4 times Fault RC
3. Pulsating DC on 6mA
DC (continuous) Base - Max. 1.4 times Fault RC + 6mA
At VDE rated voltage, suitable for Class C environments with relatively high dust and moisture
levels and little HVAC control, e.g., industrial, commercial, agricultural; on machine tools, hoists,
warehouse equipment, etc.; in boiler rooms, unheated storage, covered shipping/receiving, open
workshops, etc.
