Schneider Electric 56173 VigiPacT RH99M Earth-Leakage Relay – 0.03–30 A Sensitivity, 0–4.5 s Delay, 220–240 V AC, Manual Reset

Produktbeschreibung

The Schneider Electric 56173 is a VigiPacT RH99M residual current protection relay designed for earth-leakage monitoring and protection in low-voltage electrical installations. It works in conjunction with a compatible Schneider Electric Type A toroid or rectangular sensor to measure residual earth-leakage current, tripping an associated circuit breaker when the set threshold is exceeded. The relay offers a wide sensitivity range of 0.03–30 A with 9 selectable thresholds and a time delay adjustable from instantaneous to 4.5 s in 9 steps. It operates on a 220–240 V AC 50/60 Hz supply and provides 1 NO + 1 NC + 1 C/O output contacts. The unit mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail inside a switchboard, features IP40 front protection, and requires a local manual reset after fault clearance. Typical applications include protection against direct and indirect contact, fire hazards, and motor earth faults in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure power distribution systems.

Standardfunktionen

• Wide Sensitivity Range 0.03–30 A: Nine selectable residual current thresholds from 30 mA to 30 A allow precise adaptation to different protection requirements, from personnel safety to fire hazard prevention.
• Adjustable Time Delay 0–4.5 s: Nine selectable delay settings from instantaneous to 4.5 s enable selective coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices.
• Manual Reset with Local Control: The relay requires a local manual reset after fault clearance, ensuring the cause of the fault is investigated before re-energization.
• Continuous Monitoring: The relay continuously monitors the power supply, the relay-to-toroid link, and internal electronics, providing early detection of system faults.
• ComPacT Circuit Breaker Coordination: Ensures coordination with ComPacT circuit breakers, switching off within 40 ms for fast and reliable fault disconnection.
• Type A Residual Current Detection: Works with Schneider Electric Type A toroids or rectangular sensors to detect AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
• Reinforced Insulation (Overvoltage Category IV): VigiPacT relays feature reinforced insulation rated for overvoltage category IV, suitable for installation at the origin of the electrical supply.
