GHG 51 Ex-Wall Socket with RCD/MCB

Enclosure solutions with RCD/MCB (RCBO) 16 A up to 32 A for zone 1, 2, 21 and 22

The new explosion-protected wall sockets with integrated protective device allow the local, customized protection of the connected equipment.Especially in industrial environments with their numerous sources of danger, the protection of persons always comes first. Here, an RCD/MCB that is connected directly upstream from the end consumers is the optimal solution. With a tripping current of 10 – 500 mA, it provides safe protection against serious injuries due to an electric shock in the event of a fault of the connected equipment. With the built-in RCD/MCB, the feed line and the end unit can be protected individually to suit the required load.

Description

Local safety

With the new RCD/MCBsockets even individual work areas can be isolated with utmost precision while maintenance work is carried out. In case of a fault, only the area affected is switched off – all other areas remain fully functional! In addition, individual areas can be switched off manually and safeguarded against being switched on accidentally with the padlocking facility.

Long cable length-no problem

The reason for the problems is that with increasing cable length the loop impedance increases. An increased resistance extends the release time of a circuit breaker (fuse) or cancels the protection effect. By using the RCD/MCB, integrated directly into the wall socket, the cable lengths are shortened to the load and minimizes the circuit malfunction. The RCD/MCB sockets allow direct, on-site access to the safety devices. As a result, you can act more flexibly and your reaction times are reduced drastically.

Proven technology

The concept of the new RCD/MCB sockets is based on our tried-and-tested RCD/MCB enclosure concept in conjunction with our robust flange sockets and the built-in Ex-d components that can be operated easily at any time via a hinged actuating flap.
