A residual current protective device (RCD – formerly FI protective device) has been a standard component in electrical sub-distribution for many decades. An RCD is also located in our home. This switch has a rated residual current of 30 mA. Normatively, tripping is defined between 50 and 100 % of the rated residual current. When a 30 mA RCD trips, a residual current between 15 and 30 mA must therefore be present. The threshold of 30 mA is intended to ensure personal protection, which is required wherever freely accessible sockets are available.
In the industrial environment, in addition to administrative buildings that are protected with 30 mA RCDs, we usually find larger machines that are used for production. Even if these machines do not have any freely accessible sockets, protection via RCDs would also be advisable. A system defect can lead to electrically ignited fires. It might also be possible to prevent greater damage to the system if a smaller defect could be detected at an early stage. However, a major disadvantage of protecting systems with an RCD is then an unpredictable sudden shutdown of the system. An uncontrolled and unexpected system shutdown can quickly result in costs amounting to a five- to six-figure sum in some industrial sectors.
Residual current monitors provide a remedy by allowing the residual current to be measured. An increase in residual current can be detected and reported at an early stage via residual current monitors. Controlled shutdowns thus allow maintenance measures to be better coordinated. System availability can be increased. The probability of a production failure decreases.
