Residual Current Monitors Residual current monitoring in electrical installations

BETA Low-Voltage Circuit Protection

Plant safety and operating safety are becoming increasingly important along side the protection of personnel. Shutdowns due to the unexpected tripping of protective devices cause high costs. It is possible however to detect residual currents in the electrical installation before the protective device responds. Detect faults in time Residual current monitors (RCM) monitor residual currents in electrical installations and issue a signal when these currents exceed a defined value. Plant operators are thus able to detect and remedy faults before the plant is shut down unexpectedly.

5SV8 Residual Current Monitors
Overview Unwanted circuit disconnections can be avoided by timely detection and correctly initiated actions. A residual current monitor (RCM) is designed to monitor an electrical installation for residual current and to issue a signal when the residual current exceeds a set value. RCMs are used primarily in plants where a fault should result in a signal but not in disconnection. Plant operators are thus able to detect faults and eliminate their causes before the protective devices disconnect the installation. As the result, plant safety and operating safety are increased and costs decreased. The current transformer detects all conductors required to conduct the current, i.e. also the neutral conductor where applicable. In a fault-free system, the magnetizing effects of the conductors through which current is flowing cancel each other out for the current transformer, i.e. the sum of all currents is zero. If a residual current is flowing due to an insulation fault, a residual magnetic field is left in the core of the transformer and produces a voltage. This voltage is evaluated using the electronics of the RCM. The switched contact can be used e.g. to operate an acoustic/optical signaling device, a higher-level control system or a circuit breaker.
