Residual Current Devices PFIM

• Residual current devices

• Shape compatible with and suitable for standard busbar connection to

other devices of the P-series

• Twin-purpose terminal (lift/open-mouthed) above and below

• Busbar positioning optionally above or below

• Free terminal space despite installed busbar

• Universal tripping signal switch, also suitable for PLS., PKN., Z-A. can be

mounted subsequently

• Auxiliary switch Z-HK can be mounted subsequently

• Contact position indicator red - green

• Delayed types suitable for being used with standard fluorescent tubes with

or without electronical ballast (30mA-RCD: 30 units per phase conductor,

100mA-RCD: 90 units per phase conductor)

Notes: Depending of the fluorescent lamp ballast manufacturer partly more

possible. Symmetrical allocation of the fluorescent lamp ballasts on all

phases favourably. Shifting references of the fluorescent lamp ballast man-

ufacturer consider.

• The device functions irrespective of the position of installation

• Tripping is line voltage-independent. Consequently, the RCD is suitable for

“fault current/residual current protection” and “additional protection” with-

in the the meaning of the applicable installation rules

• Mains connection at either side

• The 4-pole device can also be used for 3-pole connection.

For this purpose use terminals 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 (+ cable link).

• The 4-pole device can also be used for 2-pole connection.

For this purpose use terminals 5-6 and N-N.

• The test key “T” must be pressed every month. The system operator must

be informed of this obligation and his responsibility in a way that can be

proven (self-adhesive RCD-label enclosed)

• Pressing the test key “T” serves the only purpose of function testing the

residual current device (RCD). This test does not make earthing resistance

measurement (R

), or proper checking of the earth conductor condition

redundant, which must be performed separately.

• Type -A: Protects against special forms of residual pulsating DC which

have have not been smoothed

• Type -G: High reliability against unwanted tripping. Compulsory for any cir-

cuit where personal injury or damage to property may occur in case of

unwanted tripping (ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001-1 § 12.1.6).

• Type -G/A: Additionally protects against special forms of residual pulsating

DC which have not been smoothed.

Special types for X-ray application PFIM-...-R

• Type -R: To aviod unwanted tripping due to X-ray devices.

• Type -S: Selective residual current device sensitive to AC, type -S.

Compulsory for systems with surge arresters downstream of the RCD

(ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001-1 § 12.1.5).

• Type -S/A: Additionally protects against special forms of residual pulsating

pulsating DC which have not been smoothed.

• Type -U: Suitable for speed-controlled drives with frequency converters in

household, trade, and industry.

Unwanted tripping is avoided thanks to a tripping characteristic designed

particularly for frequency converters.
