Technical FAQs 4

What type of RCD should I use for my inverter?

They therefore find applications in photovoltaic systems, electro-medical devices, three-phase frequency converters, AC / DC converters. three-phase or three-phase uninterruptible power supplies. In general, therefore, the type B RCD is recommended for each type of inverter.

Which type of RCD should be used for a single-phase inverter?

In general, therefore, the type B RCD is recommended for each type of inverter. Only type F can be used, instead of type B, for single-phase inverters only.

What is a type B RCD solar inverter?

Type B RCDs: These are specifically designed to handle the unique currents from solar inverters, including DC fault currents. They are ideal for solar installations where DC leakage is common. Type A RCDs: They can detect alternating and pulsating DC residual currents, making them suitable for mixed loads.

What is a frequency converter ap-R Type RCD?

Frequency converters include a rectifier section and an inverter section. In case of fault within a single-phase frequency converter AP-R type RCDs provide complete protection, because an earth fault occurring downstream the inverter, produces an earth fault current with multi-frequency shape with high amount of harmonics.
