SENTRON residual current protective devices (RCD)

Share to:

The number of electrical consumers in homes and commercial buildings has increased significantly. The latest electrical devices often have quite different characteristics in terms of current consumption than earlier devices. This requires new protection strategies for electrical installations including appropriate RCDs or RCCBs that break the current immediately and safely in the event of a fault.

RCBO - Double protection in one device with SENTRON 5SV1

The compact SENTRON 5SV1 RCBO reliably protects different electrical circuits against fault currents. It combines residual current detection and overcurrent protection in just one modular width (MW) and ensures reliable personal and cable protection in numerous areas of application with just one device.

RCCBs – the right type for all cases

The RCDs from the SENTRON portfolio offer the right solution for every application. All RCDs are available in different types and versions suited to detecting different types of residual current and different areas of application.

RCCBs in the SENTRON portfolio – your benefits

Flexible range of applications
  • Large selection of types and versions for protection against direct and indirect contact
  • Extensive, uniform range of accessories for additional functions
  • Portfolio covers requirements from industry, infrastructure and buildings
  • All residual current protective devices comply with national and international standards 
  • Simple expansion with accessory components for additional functions
  • SENTRON 5SV RCCBs are available with an N connection on the right or left
  • Uniform use of standard pin busbars
  • Separate switch position indicator and handle printing for high user-friendliness
  • Reach-around and touch protectionfor more safety during assembly
  • Integrated manual slider actuation
  • Fast dismantling by simply releasing the devices from the busbar assembly – no tools required
  • Compact pin busbars with integrated N conductor for SENTRON 5SV1 (RCBO)

The right version - for every requirement

Patented SIGRES version

Patented SIGRES versions were designed for protection under special conditions. Thanks to the integrated condensation protection, they offer maximum safety and a long service life.

With an impulse withstandstrength greater than 3 kA, unwanted shutdowns are prevented by briefly delaying the triggering of the RCCB. This avoids unnecessary tripping and thus system disruptions, for example in the case of pulsed leakage currents when a capacitor is switched on.

With  an impulse withstand strength greater than 5 kA, the selective shutdown of individual system parts is made possible by a tripping delay and a staggering of the tripping time and rated residual current.

  • Space savings of 50% thanks to a compact solution for residual current and line protection
  • Simple retrofit in existing systems thanks to the same design
  • Easy integration on DIN rails thanks to slider actuation
  • Possibility of adding a 5SM6 AFD unit for protection against fault currents, overcurrent, short-circuits and arcing faults in just two modular widths
