Home / Install a residual current device RCD in the distribution box

Installing a residual current device (RCD) in your ABB distribution board is relatively simple if you're a bit tech-savvy. If an RCD is available in your laboratory, the instrument and peripheral must be included in that fuse circuit. Distribution board is a safe system designed for house or building that included protective devices, isolator switches, circuit breaker and fuses to connect safely the cables and wires to the sub circuits and final sub circuits including their associated Live (Phase) Neutral and Earth conductors. Therefore, an RCD exposed to such waveforms needs to be of a suitable type, otherwise a distorted waveform (or DC) could aff ect the time/current operation of an RCD and cause it to operate outside its correct operating characteristics – or, at worst, the RCD could fail to urrent. They can be found in fuse boxes, electrical switchgears or industrial machine control systems.

How to Connect a Residual Current Device (RCD)?

After the wires are connected to the contacts in the distribution panel, the switch on the RCD should be turned on to activate the device. Most RCDs come with wiring diagrams on the device to help guide
