10.11.1 Using a Residual Current Device (RCD)
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), are used, comply with the following:
Use RCDs of type B only, which are capable of detecting AC and DC currents.
Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults caused by transient ground currents.
Dimension RCDs according to the system conguration and environmental considerations.
The leakage current includes several frequencies originating from both the mains frequency and the switching frequency. Whether
the switching frequency is detected depends on the type of RCD used.

Illustration 77: Mains Contributions to Leakage Current
The amount of leakage current detected by the RCD depends on the cut-o frequency of the RCD.
