ثالثا. Core Functions and Advantages
- Integration of Triple Protection Functions
حماية الزائد: Achieves inverse time protection through the thermal effect of bimetallic strips, matching the thermal characteristics of cables to prevent line overheating and aging.
Short-circuit Protection: The electromagnetic release provides instantaneous protection, quickly interrupting short-circuit current to limit fault expansion.
Residual Current Protection: Detects residual current and trips rapidly (≤0.1s) when the current exceeds the set value (30أماه), preventing personal electric shock accidents.
- Design and Safety Features
1P+N Structure: The neutral pole remains permanently closed to ensure the neutral line is not interrupted during power-off, enhancing safety.
Current Limiting Function: Quickly limits fault current during short-circuits, reducing the risk of line and equipment damage.
Test Button: Built-in test button for regular verification of the residual current protection function.
Mechanical Indication: Clearly displays the on/off status of the circuit breaker and the cause of tripping.
- Reliability and Compatibility
Complies with international and national standards such as IEC 61009-1 and GB/T 16917.1.
Features the same dimensions as the ABB SH200 series miniature circuit breakers, enabling mixed installation.
Offers strong electromagnetic interference resistance to ensure stable operation in complex electrical environments.
- Application Scenarios and Selection Key Points
- سيناريوهات التطبيق النموذجية
| Application Field | Applicable Loads | Selection Advantages |
| توزيع الطاقة السكنية | Living room/bedroom sockets, lighting circuits, air conditioner branches | Residual current protection prevents electric shock; Type C curve is suitable for conventional loads |
| Commercial Buildings | Office sockets, public area lighting, small commercial equipment | 1P+N structure saves space; 30mA residual current protection complies with safety regulations |
| Light Industry | Control circuits of small machine tools, power supplies for testing equipment | Triple protection ensures equipment and personnel safety |
| Medical Facilities | Power supplies for non-critical medical equipment | Some 10mA models (GSH201 AC-C16/0.01) can be used in environments sensitive to residual current |
- Core Selection Steps
- Determine Load Type: Select Type C curve for conventional lighting and socket loads; select Type D curve for motor loads.
- Calculate Load Current: Ensure the 16A rated current is greater than the actual load current (a 20% margin is recommended).
- Select Residual Current Type: Choose Type AC for pure AC loads; choose Type A or Type AP-R for loads containing DC components (على سبيل المثال, electronic devices).
- Determine Residual Operating Current: Select 30mA for general locations; select 10mA for humid environments or locations with high safety requirements.
- Verify Breaking Capacity: Ensure the 6kA breaking capacity meets the short-circuit current requirements of the installation point.
- Installation and Operation Precautions
- مواصفات الأسلاك
Strictly distinguish between the phase pole (ل) and neutral pole (ن); the neutral line must be connected to the N terminal, and reverse connection is prohibited.
Ensure the circuit is de-energized before wiring; the cable cross-section should match the 16A rated current (1.5mm² copper core cable or above is recommended).
Tighten the terminal screws to the torque specified in the manual (usually 2.5N·m) to prevent overheating caused by poor contact.
- Operation and Maintenance
Verify the residual current protection function using the test button after installation.
Press the test button regularly (monthly is recommended) to check if the residual current protection is functioning properly.
After a residual current trip, identify and eliminate the fault cause before manually resetting the circuit breaker.
Avoid frequent operation; inspect the circuit breaker for damage especially after a short-circuit fault.
- Safety Warnings
This product cannot be used for neutral line overcurrent protection of three-phase unbalanced loads.
It cannot be used as a replacement for an isolating switch; ensure all power supplies are disconnected during power-off maintenance.
It is not suitable for use in flammable and explosive environments unless special protective measures are taken.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when used in conjunction with other protective devices (على سبيل المثال, surge protectors).
