Features

Key features include the ability to monitor the residual current of up to 16 circuits, with a monitoring range of 300 to 1000mA. The residual current monitoring unit offers real-time residual current monitoring, presenting measured values through an LED display for easy programming.

For added flexibility, the residual current monitor allows users to choose between a designated current transformer or a temperature sensor for each channel to identify parameters and trigger alarms or trips at specified thresholds. Multiple AC DC Residual Current protection relays can be seamlessly integrated with circuit breakers for constructing MRCD applications.

Equipped with RS485 communication capabilities, this RCM residual current monitoring device effortlessly transmits data to SCADA systems. This residual current monitoring device also extends support for OEM and ODM services, enhancing its adaptability for various applications.
