Eaton PFIM Series RCD, 16A Current Rating, 30mA Trip Sensitivity - 235423 PFIM-16/2/003-A-MW


This residual current device (RCD) provides essential earth leakage protection for commercial and residential applications. Designed for mounting on a DIN rail, the device features a robust, compact design measuring 35 x 76 x 80 mm. Compliant with IEC/EN 61008 standards, it effectively trips at a sensitivity of 30mA, ensuring safety without compromising functionality.

Features & Benefits


• Instantaneous break time enhances user safety during faults
• Type A RCD breaker protects against earth leakage currents
• Rated current of 16A suits a variety of electrical installations
• 2-pole configuration allows for versatile circuit applications
• Capable of withstanding breaking capacity of 10kA
• Easily mounted on standard DIN rails for convenience

Applications


• Used for protection in residential electrical systems
• Ideal for commercial installations requiring reliable earth fault protection
• Can be used in functions effectively in various voltage up to 400V

How does the earth leakage protection function in this device?


Earth leakage protection is achieved through a sensitive trip mechanism that detects imbalance between live and neutral currents, tripping the circuit to prevent electric shocks. The 30mA sensitivity provides suitable protection for both residential and commercial environments.

What are the temperature specifications for using this device?


The device is rated for operation in ambient temperatures ranging from -25°C to 55°C, which ensures efficiency in diverse environmental conditions. It's important to note that continuous current capability decreases by 3% for each degree above 40°C.

Can this RCD be integrated with other devices in a switchboard?


Yes, it can be easily integrated with other electrical devices, as it supports selective protection and a range of additional equipment. Proper installation should be followed according to manufacturer guidelines for optimal performance.
