Doepke The experts in residual current protection technology DATA SHEET DMRCD 1 A pulsating AC/DC-sensitive type A Article No. 09340350 AT Function MRCDs (modular residual current devices) consist of a combination of residual current transformer and evaluation unit. In connection with a separate external circuit-breaker, they allow the implementation of protective measure "Automatic switch-o of power supply" as per DIN VDE 0100-410 and IEC 60364-4-41. They are primarily useful when no RCCBs or CRBs can be used due to high load currents or mains voltages. The MRCD detects the residual current and evaluates it in terms of its level and duration. If the residual response current thresholds and the response time are exceeded, it activates a separate switch-o device that disconnects the system part for which it is responsible from the power supply. Modular residual current circuit-breakers from series DMRCD have a number of usable total current transformers and therefore also a number of conductor cross-sections or rated currents. They have one changeover contact and one LED each for the pre-alarm and main alarm. The bar display provides a view of both the current residual current and the set value for the prealarm. The devices have two response thresholds. The response thresholds for the pre-alarm can be set from 10% to 90% of the response threshold for the alarm. The set value for the pre-alarm threshold is displayed as a continuously lit LED on the bar display. The alarm is triggered at a xed response threshold. The current level of the residual current, the response threshold of the pre-alarm and the point where the response thresholds are exceeded can be seen on a 10-way LED display on the front of the device housing. A faulty connection to the external residual current transformer is immediately indicated by the alarm LED through a ashing pattern and by the activation of the signal contacts. The adjustable response delay in the range from 0.1 s to 1 s (in increments of 100 ms) makes it possible to prevent a response to brief residual current impulses, e.g. lightning strikes and switching overvoltage. This approach allows for selectivity of devices switched in series, simplifying the localisation of faults. Two independent, potential-free changeover contacts provide the option of passing on the alarm to optional indicator panels, indicator lights, acoustic signalling devices, touch panels, PLCs, etc. Modular protective devices with residual current characteristic A detect sinusoidal AC currents as well as pulsating DC residual currents. These devices are suitable for the monitoring of circuits with frequencies from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. They dier in their adjustment ranges of the residual response current: The DMRCD 1 A allows settings of 0.03 A, 0.1 A, 0.3 A, 1 A, 3 A, the DMRCD 2 A the adjustment of values 0.03 A, 0.1 A, 0.3 A, 1 A, 10 A.

Notes Type A residual currents are detected separately by external residual current transformers from series DCT A, which are ordered separately. No more than one transformer can be operated on one evaluation unit. The VDE certication is only fullled with approved switch-disconnector combinations and undervoltage trips (see operating instructions). To meet DIN VDE 0100-410, the electrical system must be isolated from the mains by an external isolating device with a response time of less than 15 ms. The maximum cable length from the control relay to the transformer is 10 m. If residual currents with frequencies ≠ 50/60 Hz are expected (multiphase operated electronic
