Circuit breakers

xEffect FRCdM Type A and F residual current circuit breakers​

The FRCdM is a part of the xEffect industrial / commercial series.This Residual Current Circuit Breaker belongs to Eaton's industrial xEffect range and fulfills the highest requirements for the protection of both people and equipment.The FRCdM Type A is for systems with alternating and pulsating direct currents.Type A RCCB's will also operate correctly with the presence of a small value of smooth direct residual current up to 6 mA.

Core features

  • Compatible with other xEffect-series devices' standard busbar connection
  • Type -A, -G/A, -S/A: Protects against special forms of residual non-smoothed pulsating DC which have have not been smoothed.
  • Type -S: Selective residual current device sensitive to AC
  • Potential-free auxiliary contact for external prewarning
  • Type -U: for speed-controlled drives with frequency converters
  • Type -G: Highly reliable against unwanted tripping, compulsory for circuits where personal injury or damage to property may occur
  • Twin-purpose terminal (lift/open-mouthed)
  • Universal tripping signal (trip/contact indicator white-blue/red-green) switch, for FAZ/FRBmM-1N, auxiliary switch Z-HK can be mounted subsequently
  • Additional safety by seal or lock in ON/OFF position
  • Delayed types suitable for standard fluorescent tubes with/without electronical ballast
  • Tripping is line voltage-independent
  • 4-pole device to be used for 3-pole and for 2-pole connection
  • Test key
  • Type -R: avoid unwanted tripping due to X-ray devices

xEffect digital switchgear

The digital RCCBs from the xEffect series can do more than just switch off. They monitor electrical installations and give advance warning of critical current flows, so that system shutdowns – and the associated costs – can be avoided.

Local indicators
xEffect Residual Current Circuit Breaker FRCdM Type AC, A, U, R - green LED

Green

Fault current < 30 %
Everything is in order.

If the current flow in the system to ground is in the range of 0 % to 30 % of the nominal fault current, the green LED will be active.
 

Yellow

Fault current 30% to 50 %
Check the connected devices.

The yellow LED indicates residual currents in the range of 30 % to 50 % of the nominal fault current. This makes it possible to take appropriate counter measures before the system shuts down.
 

xEffect Residual Current Circuit Breaker FRCdM Type AC, A, U, R - red LED

Red

Fault current > 50 %
Contact an electrician.

If the red LED lights up, the leakage current exceeds 50 % of the nominal fault current. This means that the system is in critical condition – the digital RCCB will only trip if the fault current continues to increase.

Reliable protection for machines

These products help maintain an optimal system and provide additional protection against residual earth leakage currents for a wide range of applications. They come with different tripping characteristics to cater for a variety of electrical systems and components. The devices offer a wide range of nominal currents and comprehensive optional accessories.

Digital RCD with enhanced reliability

Type A: Sensitive to AC and pulsating DC currents. Protection against special forms of residual pulsating DC currents that have not been smoothed.
Type AC: Sensitive to AC currents
Type U: Suitable for use with variable speed drives in household, commercial and industrial applications. This tripping characteristic has been specifically designed for use with frequency converters to prevent nuisance tripping.
Type R: Prevents nuisance tripping due to X-ray devices.
