6.2 Maintenance Procedures
- Routine Inspection (Monthly)
Visually inspect for damage or discoloration.
Press test button to confirm normal tripping and reset.
Check terminals for looseness and overheating marks.
- Periodic Maintenance (Annually)
Clean unit surface with dry soft cloth after power cut.
Check firmness of DIN rail mounting.
Measure insulation resistance (≥1MΩ).
Record test results.
- Replacement Cycle
Normal operating conditions: 10 years
Harsh environments (high temperature / high humidity): 5~7 years
Frequent tripping conditions: 3~5 years
6.3 Quick Diagnosis Tips
Type B RCCB handles DC leakage well.
Check wiring first for frequent tripping; load type matters most.
Replace unit immediately if test button malfunctions.
Power off and clear faults before resetting.
Replace after 10 years for reliable safety.
- Selection Guidelines
- Residual Current Type Selection: Choose Type B for systems with converters, UPS or medical devices; Type AC for general lighting and sockets; Type A for pulsating DC loads.
- Rated Current Selection: Rated current ≥ 1.2 times total load current. 63A is suitable for most industrial control cabinets.
- Residual Current Rating Selection: 30mA for personal protection; 100~300mA for equipment protection; 500mA~1A for system protection.
- Pole Selection: 2P for single-phase systems; 3P for 3-phase 3-wire systems; 4P (with neutral wire) for 3-phase 4-wire systems.
- Replacement Principle: Prioritize upgraded models from the same series for obsolete products to guarantee identical dimensions and performance.
