Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses Doepke's residual current circuit-breakers (RCCBs) designed for electric vehicle (EV) charging devices, emphasizing their ability to detect smooth DC residual currents above 6 mA, which conventional RCCBs may miss. This ensures comprehensive protection for charging points.
Specifications: The DFS 4 EV series is optimized for wall boxes and charging pedestals, preserving the protective function of upstream residual current devices and reliably detecting smooth DC residual currents above 6 mA. They are available in Type A and Type F versions, with the latter also detecting mixed frequency residual currents.
Functionality: The DFS 4 EV devices include an active additional function for tripping in the event of smooth DC residual currents ≥ 6 mA. They maintain the protective function of upstream devices and are available in two-terminal and four-terminal designs, with a rated current up to 80 A.
Installation Scenarios:
  • Case 1: For charging devices at existing sockets with Type A RCCBs, DFS 4 EV ensures protection against smooth DC residual currents above 6 mA.
  • Case 2: For fixed connection charging devices, DFS 4 EV alone provides complete protection without the need for an upstream RCCB.
  • Case 3: Fixed connection devices require an upstream RCCB, with DFS 4 EV ensuring protection even with smooth DC residual currents above 6 mA.
  • Case 4: Multiple charging devices downstream of an RCCB require AC-DC sensitive devices, with each socket having its own RCCB.
Complete Solution: Doepke's DFS 4 EV devices offer a comprehensive solution for charging points, eliminating the need for additional protective devices and ensuring reliable protection against hazardous residual currents.
Accessories: The DFA 3 remote actuators can be added to switch the RCCBs on and off remotely, with the possibility of automatic reclosing where permitted.

The safe way to fill up with electricity-3

Doepke's residual current circuit-breakers (EV design) are available in Type A and Type F versions. The DFS 4 A EV detects sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, regardless of the mains voltage. The DFS 4 F EV also detects residual currents with mixed frequencies. Electronic wiring and power electronics are required in electric vehicles for charging purposes. In the event of a fault, these can give rise to smooth DC residual currents and residual currents with mixed frequencies. The DFS 4 F EV is also short-time delayed and has increased surge current strength. This significantly reduces...
