What Is a Residual Current Relay (Earth Leakage Relay)?

Although visually similar to standard fuses, residual current relays operate on a different and far more sensitive protection principle. Their main role

Residual-current device

OverviewTypical designPurpose and operationApplicationRCBOCharacteristicsTesting of correct operationLimitations

The diagram depicts the internal mechanism of a residual-current device (RCD). The device is designed to be wired in-line in an appliance power cord. It is rated to carry a maximal current of 13 A and is designed to trip on a leakage current of 30 mA. This is an active RCD; that is, it latches electrically and therefore trips on power failure, a useful feature for equipment that could be dangerous on unexpected re-energisation.
