Application:

Residual current circuit breakers 5SM1 are used for protection against indirect touching of parts under voltage, for prevention of lasting voltage on earthed parts which should appear because of a defect in the electrical installation and for protection against direct contacts of parts under voltage in case of In<30mA. Residual current circuit breakers can be used in TN-S, TT and IT network systems or with other words in all systems where neutral and protective conductor are separated (VDE 0100 Teil 410).
