RCD Type F Residual current protection for single phase inverters applications
Type F: a new RCD type to ensure complete safety ABB introduces the Type F Residual Current Devices, dedicated to the protection of lines supplying single phase inverters. Nowadays electric appliances including single phase inverters are widely used in household and commercial/industrial applications to reach higher level of efficiency reducing the energy consumption of the electric motors. Single phase inverters regulate the speed of motors by supplying a variable frequency, from 10 to 1000 Hz.

Maximum protection, in all cases Example of correct design of RCD protection in an industrial application According to the type of loads to be protected , the level of safety and the continuity of service, all different RCDs types could be needed. Pure resistive loads can be protected by means of RCBOs Type AC or A. In case of critical circuits due to a high level of peak leakage current like computers networks or ballasts, RCCBs Type A APR offer the adequate solution.

RCCB F200 type F. The details make the difference A range designed to ensure efficiency and protection Two terminals are available for cables or busbars. Test pushbutton to verify the correct functioning of the device. Information on the device are laser printed to make them clearly visible and long lasting. Bi-directional cylindrical terminal ensure higher safety of connecting operations, making them easier.
RCCBs F200 can be used in ambient conditions where the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere has values between -25°C (snowflake laser printed on the front of the device) and +55°C. The availability of two terminals offers different connection solutions thanks to the possibility to connect two indipendent cables in the same device: the second terminal can be used for an auxiliary circuit or for the supply of devices with small section cables without connecting them together with the main circuit.
RCBO DS201 type F. The details make the difference A range designed to ensure efficiency and protection Contact position indicator (CPI): red - closed contacts; green - open contacts. Bi-directional cylindrical terminal ensure higher safety of connecting operations, making them easier. Information on the device are laser printed to ensure readability over time (including product code). The label carrier to clearly identify the protected circuit.
Any earth fault can be immediately identified through the blue indicator, that signals the differential tripping and which cannot be activated in case of manual operation on the toggle. This prevents any misinterpretations of the device and system status. The terminals available on DS201 make easier the supply operation in parallel with busbars as they are composed by two different seats, a front seat for 25 mm 2 cables and a back seat for 10 mm 2 busbars.
DDA 200 type F - The details make the difference A range designed to ensure efficiency and protection Test pushbutton to verify the correct functioning of the device RCD tripping indicator: Blue lever goes down in case of RCD tripping Laser-marked order code on the front to make easier future orders. Information on the device is laser printed to make it clearly visible and long lasting. DDA200 RCD block mounted with S200 MCB.
Flexibility DDA200 is suitable for mounting with S200 extensive range of MCBs, covering applications in 2P up to 63A with breaking capacity up to 25kA. RCD block DDA200 can be used in ambient conditions where the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere has values between -25°C (snowflake laser printed on the front of the device) and +55°C. Possibility to connect a remote test button for 63A versions.

FAQ - Frequently Ask Questions Is it possible to realize selectivity with type F RCDs? What about the coordination with MCBs? The coordination and selectivity rules are common for Type AC, A, A-APR and F RCDs. For an RCD type F, the first level of selectivity can be realized with any RCD in selective version. Selectivity is guaranteed thanks to the time delay and higher sensitivity of the RCD upstream. For any detail regarding the coordination, please refer to the System pro M compact®.
