Product catalog summary
Device Features
The RCMB300-series modules provide continuous residual current monitoring compliant with DGUV Vorschrift 3. They are designed for easy DIN rail or screw mounting and feature an RS-485 interface with Modbus RTU for reading measured values and setting parameters. The modules include integrated switching outputs with two changeover contacts, a frequency range of DC to 100 kHz, and a combined test and reset button. They are AC/DC sensitive, capable of separate evaluation of AC and DC components, and feature a multicolour LED for status indication. The modules are insensitive to load currents due to full magnetic shielding and support connection monitoring of the measuring current transformer.
Intended Use
The RCMB300 series is intended for measuring AC and DC fault currents in earthed systems (TN and TT systems), capable of measuring residual currents up to 20 A within a frequency range of DC to 100 kHz.
Functional Description
The module measures both AC and DC currents, with tripping based on the r.m.s. value. It features separate evaluation of residual current components and allows setting alarms for individual components. The device includes automatic checks and requires offset calibration upon installation.
RS-485 Interface
The RS-485 interface allows reading measured values and setting parameters via Modbus RTU, with options to trigger tests or resets via the bus.
Variants and Components
The series includes the RCMB301 electronic module and various measuring current transformers (CTBC20, CTBC35, CTBC60, CTBC120, CTBC210) with shielded options available.
Installation Instructions
Instructions emphasize avoiding routing protective conductors through the transformer and ensuring live conductors are centered. Specific guidelines are provided for applications in railway vehicles.
Technical Data
The modules operate at a supply voltage of DC 24 V, with various configurable response values and time delays. They feature a multicolour LED for indication and support two changeover contacts with configurable relay modes.
Standards and Certifications
The modules comply with relevant IEC standards and are suitable for various environmental and mechanical conditions.
Ordering Details
Details are provided for ordering electronic modules, measuring current transformers, and accessories, including part numbers and descriptions.

Wiring diagram 21, 22, 24 = Relay for main alarm = surge protection device The use of a type 2 surge protection device (SPD) is mandatory due to possible impulse voltages and in order to comply with normative requirements. The surge protection device must be connected upstream of the power supply unit on the supply side. Features of the surge protection device: – Nominal discharge current In (8/20 μs): 20 kA – Response time: 25 ns – Two-stage: 1 varistor + 1 spark gab Alternatively, the power supply unit must be connected to a CAT II supply without a surge protection device.

Example for the composition of an RCMB module Measuring current transformer: CTBC35 Final RCMB module Installation instructions for measuring current transformers CAUTION Device damage due to high induction currents! High currents can be induced into the conductor loop due to the AC/DC sensitive measurement technology used. Do not route protective conductors and lowresistance conductor loops through the measuring current transformer! Device damage due to interference pulses! The connecting cable (supply, analogue interface…) must not be routed directly past the current transformer core. Risk...
