Residual current monitor, Type B
External differential current transformer ND 5015
The AC/DC sensitive residual current monitor RN 5883 allows an early detection of insulation faults and detects differential currents with AC as well as DC components in grounded voltage systems (type B). The measurement takes place via an external current transformer.
Contrary to an RCD the residual current monitor RN 5883 does not disconnect the mains when detecting a fault but only indicates it. Besides the easy to read LED chain indicating the actual current several LEDs display operation, pre-alarm and alarm. The 4 measuring ranges cover 10 to 3 A. Additional features are broken wire detection, test function and adjustable pre-alarm.
The residual current monitor RN 5883 provides early information for precise and cost effective maintenance before the plant stops.
