Class A RCDs: residual current protection for circuits with electronic or rectified loads.
- Class: A class for AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
- Sensitivity: 30mA for personal protection and 300mA for selected applications.
- Formats: 2P and 4P versions according to the board.
- Use: electronic loads, appliances and tertiary circuits.
Class A RCDs for modern electrical loads
Class A RCDs detect both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC components. This makes them suitable for circuits that include electronic devices, power supplies and appliances with rectifiers.
They are a preferred option when the installation includes washing machines, LED drivers, electronics, HVAC controls or other modern loads.
