ANNEX Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers UL 1077 Equipment Breakers UL 1077 UL 508 UL 489 CircuitProtection_2016.QXD_CircuitProtection 4/4/16 12:25 PM Page 86 RP - Series RCCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers RCCB Series compact Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers detect and interrupt earth (ground) faults. They are VDE approved for the European system of protecting people, animals, equipment and property from dangerous line-to-ground and shock hazard currents. US applications include groundfault protection of equipment (GFPE) using the 10mA and 30mA fault current ratings, especially when high distributed capacitance or other leakages cause excessive nuisance trips at lower fault currents. Applications for the 300mA and 500mA ratings are equipment protection and fire prevention, limiting the energy of a fault to less than the minimum ignition energy for many materials.

(Temperature effect on RC: for every 10C temperature rise above 40C decrease RC by 7%.) Fluctuating Climate Conditions According to IEC 60068-2-30: heat (25C~55C), relative humidity (93%~95%) Electrical Shock Protection 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-ofhand safe" (terminals). Impact/Shock Protection 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. Vibration/Seismic Resistance 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. Protection Class IP20; higher protection Class is dependent on housing. Non-Sinusoidal Fault 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 Phased Half-Wave, 90 - 0.25-1.4 times Fault RC Phased Half-Wave, 135 - 0.11-1.4 times Fault RC 2b. 3.
