Residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) are components for implementing the protective measure 'protection by automatic shutdown of the power supply' in accordance with the requirements of VDE 0100 Part 410 or corresponding international installation regulations. Devices in the DFS 4 series are compact two- or four-pole residual current circuit breakers. In the standard version, they only take up four division units. While the DFS 4 version for alternating and pulsating direct residual currents is designed for three-phase networks, but can also be used in single-phase networks, there are special versions for single- or three-phase operation in the universal current sensitive versions (type B, type B+). Despite the compact dimensions, a large number of different tripping currents and characteristics are available for rated currents - depending on the version - up to 125 A. All devices are available in the 'HD' version, which is particularly suitable for use in harsh environments (tunnels, swimming pools, etc.). They also have large double-deck terminals for accommodating large conductor cross-sections, a practical multi-function switch toggle and can be labelled with pre-made labels using free software. DFS 2 and DFS 4 with the B+ residual current characteristic detect smooth DC residual currents as well as all other type B+ residual currents in accordance with DIN VDE 0664-400. The operating voltage required for this is taken from the mains voltage. Correct voltage supply is guaranteed if the voltage between the mains conductors is ? 50 V. Type A residual currents are detected regardless of the mains voltage. Furthermore, these RCCBs detect residual currents of all frequencies up to 20 kHz with a maximum trigger threshold of 420 mA. Compared to devices with the B SK characteristic, devices with the B+ characteristic therefore offer a higher level of fire protection, i.e. fire protection even with residual currents with frequencies above the rated frequency. Fault protection in accordance with VDE 0100 Part 410 is provided with an appropriate earth resistance over the entire frequency range of the residual current detection. The maximum permissible earth resistance is calculated as the quotient of the permissible contact voltage and the highest tripping fault current in the entire detected frequency range. Since the tripping current frequency response of RCCBs of type B+ is significantly below the characteristic curve of an RCCB with SK characteristics for the same rated residual current, their use requires lower leakage currents in the system to be monitored. Standard devices are designed for monitoring circuits with a rated voltage of 230 V or 400 V and a rated frequency of 50 Hz.
