Professional PRCD-S ADVANCED mobile personal protection circuit-breaker for cable mounting (for use on construction sites and permanent outdoor use IP55, all-pole switching, DGUV 203-006 compliant)

Description

For use on construction sites in accordance with DGUV 203-006 (formerly BGI 608) and permanent outdoor use, the Professional PRCD-S ADVANCED mobile personal protection circuit breaker offers a reliable and robust solution to protect the user when using electrical appliances on sockets that are not known to be working properly. Cables with a connection cross-section of 1.5mm² or 2.5mm² and a cable diameter of 8-14mm can be connected. Safety is further increased thanks to improved testing for protective conductor interruption from approx. 1kΩ, glove detection (device cannot be switched on in the event of a fault even with insulating gloves) and the comprehensive function test by checking the entire signal chain from protective conductor monitoring to the RCD switching function. The mobile personal protection system also impresses with the following features:

• Protection class: IP55
• Connection cross-section: 1.5-2.5mm²
• Cable diameter: Ø 8-14mm
• Rated voltage: 230V
• Rated current: 16A
• Rated power: 3680W
• Rated residual current: IΔn = 30mA
• All-pole (L/N/PE) switching residual current circuit breaker type A
• Undervoltage tripping
• No automatic restart after voltage recovery
• No switching on if the protective conductor is interrupted or energised
• As soon as voltage occurs on the protective conductor during operation or the protective conductor is interrupted, the protective device switches off
• If external voltage occurs on the protective conductor, e.g. by drilling into a line of another circuit, the protective device does not disconnect the protective conductor
• PRCD in accordance with VDE 0661
• Category 2 equipment (K2 DGUV 203-005): Used for rough operation with high mechanical, physical and chemical influences

For use on construction sites

• For use on construction sites in accordance with DGUV 203-006 (formerly BGI 608) and permanent outdoor use.
• Category 2 equipment (K2 DGUV 203-005): For use in harsh operating conditions with high mechanical, physical and chemical impacts.

RCD personal protection switch

An RCD (residual current circuit breaker) is an electrical protective device that is primarily used to protect against electric shocks. The RCD recognises the difference between the incoming and outgoing current in a circuit and automatically switches off the circuit in the event of a residual current. When used for personal protection, a residual current device must trip and interrupt the circuit at a residual current of 30mA at the latest.

Switch-on error detection (glove detection)

The brennenstuhl® PRCD-S Advanced cannot be switched on when switched on with strong insulation, e.g. by wearing a glove.

Low-resistance protective conductor monitoring

Only connections below approx. 1 kO are accepted - reliable protection against high-impedance, unsafe contacts.

Extended test functions

In addition to the prescribed residual current test, the protective conductor monitoring is tested for interruption and voltage detection.

Ready for operation

After successful switch-on, the switching status indicator lights up red, signalling voltage at the output of the PRCD-S Advanced

Protected against dust and water jets

Protection against contact, protection against dust deposits inside. Also protected against water jets (nozzle) from any angle

Special features of the PRCD-S ADVANCED from brennenstuhl®

• Extended test coverage (including protective conductor detection and monitoring):

In addition to the prescribed residual current test, the protective conductor monitoring is tested for interruption and voltage detection.

• Sponsored by BG Bau:

After successful switch-on, the switching status indicator lights up red, signalling voltage at the output of the PRCD-S Advanced.

• Extended test functions:

In addition to the prescribed residual current test, the protective conductor monitoring is tested for interruption and voltage detection.

Thanks to its extended safety functions, the PRCD-S offers more protection against:
N or L conductor interruption
undervoltage
PE conductor interruption
Wiring faults
Voltage on PE conductor when switching on
External voltage on PE conductor during operation
Residual current >30 mA
