Residual current device is an electrical
device used for increased protection against
injury caused by an electric current. It can‘t
be used for basic protection – by automatic
disconnection. Working wires are conducted
through RCD, protective conductor mustn't
be conducted through this device.
It is used in environments with higher
danger of injuries caused by an electric
current.
It‘s main parameters are:
Nominal
current
Residual (differential) current
Selectivity
In normal conditions the vector sum of currents in
working conductors equals null. In the secondary
winding of the transformer no voltage is induced.
In case of a current leak from the phase
conductor to the ground, the voltage emerges in
the secondary transformer winding, the current
gets through the coil of the electro magnet and a
malfunction is quickly disconnected from the rest
of the electric network.
