RCM1000 - Residual Current Monitor - S225710

RCM1000V RCM100V monitors residual currents in grounded power supply systems. Used as a current relay it monitors AC- or pulsing DCcurrents for exceeding upper or lower limits. Insulation faults can be caused by damages (mechanical, thermal or chemical) of insulations or also by humidity or pollution. At currents > app. 250 mA (at 230 V) at a location, the fault can lead to danger of fire.

Applied as current relays RCM1000V can among others monitor current in the neutral conductor. Nonlinear loads, e.g. switching power supplies in PC, printers or lights with EGC, cause harmonics in the neutral conductor: Even when the load is symmetric, the harmonics can lead to an overload in the neutral conductor. RCM1000V detect and report this overload.

Residual current monitors detect these faults in widely branched power supply systems and make a signal before additional damage develops. By displaying the residual current also stealthy changes can easily be detected and localized by switching on and off parts of the power supply system.

Particularly useful in monitoring in systems in which no fault current circuit breaker can or shall be used, because an immediate switching would have wideranging consequences, such as breakdown of computersystems or interruption of processes of sensitive goods. RCM1000V do NOT replace fault current circuit breakers for protection from electric shock but they can complement it by detecting an fault in the insulation before the systems has to be shut off.
