ABB RXDS 4 Residual Current Device

Description

RXDS 4

The ABB RXDS 4 is engineered to detect and respond to residual currents, which are the unbalanced currents that flow through the protective earth conductor in an electrical circuit. As a vital part of electrical safety infrastructure, it combines high – sensitivity current detection capabilities with rapid tripping mechanisms. This device acts as a vigilant guardian, constantly monitoring the electrical current in the circuit. When it detects a residual current above its set threshold, it quickly interrupts the circuit, preventing potentially dangerous electrical situations from escalating.
