4.4.4 SIQUENCE universal current-sensitive RCBO
Type B and Type B+
The principle of detection on which the SIQUENCE Type B universal current-
sensitive RCBO is based is identical to that on which the SIQUENCE universal
current-sensitive RCCB is based and operates in accordance with VDE 0664-200
(applicable standard in Germany) and DIN V VDE V 0664-210 (Type B+) indepen-
dently of the supply voltage with regard to the requirements for Type A.
With regard to the response to residual currents and the protective functions, the
same statements and specications which apply to the SIQUENCE Type B / Type
B+ universal current-sensitive RCCB are applicable. RCBOs combine in one unit the
protection functions of electricshock and re protection along with line protection.
Thanks to the integrated overcurrent protection feature, intrinsic thermal protecti-
on of the device is ensured automatically without further adaptation to upstream/
downstream overload protection systems.
In addition to those advantages mentioned in section 4.4.2, direct allocation of a
SIQUENCE Type B universal current-sensitive RCBO to a circuit offers the following
special advantages over an RCCB and multiple miniature circuit breakers in the
outgoing circuit:
• the maximum possible leakage current (0.3 * I
Δn
) can be used in each feeder.
• As in the case of overcurrent, tripping due to residual current disconnects only
the affected branch from the supply voltage
• High system availability, since the fault-free part of the system is still supplied
with power.
