Which RCD Type? - Institution of Engineering and Technology
WEBRCDs work by monitoring the flow of current in a circuit's live conductors and, if the flow of current is imbalanced due to an earth leakage current of a set nominal value, the device will trip to cut off the supply to the circuit.
Residual Current Devices – RCDs | ABB US
WEBResidual Current Devices help protect people and equipment against electrical shocks caused by indirect contact. RCDs work together with Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) or fuses, covering the whole system against potentially damaging thermal and dynamic stresses of any overcurrent.
