Legrand XC3 2X 40A 30Ma Residual Current Switch 403183
Legrand XC3 2X 40A 30Ma Residual Current Switch 403183 Wiring faults, insulation problems, defective appliances, or faults in electrical systems can trigger dangerous leakage currents, leading to accidents or electrical fires. Residual current devices can prevent this. These devices provide protection against dangerous shock currents in case of direct or indirect contact with live conductive objects. Residual current protection relays cut the energy in the circuit they are connected to quickly and safely if the threshold differential current is exceeded. In many application areas, it is a necessity to use residual current protection relays with a threshold current not greater than 30 mA in new buildings. This requirement applies since 1984 in rooms with a bathtub or shower, and in 2007 for all socket-outlet circuits with a rated current of up to 20 A for non-professional and general use.
