Single-pole operation with RCD module 
Connection of the RCD module for single-pole operation 
All 3-pole or 4-pole molded case circuit breakers with RCD module can be operated with 2 
poles (L to N), since the power supply of the RCD module is supplied from all three external 
conductors, and on 4-pole devices additionally from the N conductor.  
Apart from the test current circuit, the RCD module is unrestricted in functionality if at least 2 
conductors are connected. 
When connecting the RCD module, you only have to ensure that the test current circuit 
connected to current path 1-2 and 3-4 (marking) is functioning or is supplied with power. 
The following connections are possible in 2-pole operation:
