2. Safety instructions 2.1 General safety instructions Part of the device documentation in addition to this manual is the enclosed " Safety in- structions for Bender products". 2.2 Work activities on electrical installations Only qualified personnel working in electrical engineering and electronics are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a device or system.
3. Device description 3.1 Area of application The AC/DC sensitive device series MRCDB30… is used in combination with a CTBC… as additional protection (protection against indirect contact) in earthed systems (TN and TT systems) in which AC or DC fault currents may occur. Part of these systems are particularly loads containing six-pulse rectifiers or one-way rectifiers with smoothing, such as converters, battery chargers, construction site equip- ment with frequency-controlled drives.
Device description • AC/DC sensitive type B+ measured value acquisition acc. to VDE 0664-400 (depend- ing on variant) • Exchangeable electronic enclosure without mechanical separation of the primary conductors • Extension/retrofitting or modification of functionalities in case of changed monitor- ing requirements •...
Device description 3.4 Functional description Residual current I Δn The residual current monitoring module measures both AC and DC currents. Tripping takes place based on the determined r.m.s. value. When the response value set for I Δn2 (alarm) is exceeded by a residual current, the output relay K2 switches an undervoltage release (recommended) or a shunt release (N/O operation) within the required tripping time and the LED lights up red.

Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of: • An electric shock DANGER • Damage to the electrical installation • Destruction of the device Before installing and connecting the device, make sure that the installation has been de-energised.
Installation and connection 4.5 Wiring diagrams The following applies to all wiring diagrams: • The use of a type 2 surge protection device (SPD) is mandatory due to possible impulse voltages and in order to comply with normative requirements. • The surge protection device must be connected upstream of the power supply unit on the supply side.

Installation and connection 4.7 Installation instructions for measuring current transformers Application in railway vehicles/DIN EN 45545-2:2016! If the horizontal or vertical distance to adjacent components which do not meet the requirements in table 2 of DIN EN 45545-2 is less than 20 mm or less than 200 mm respectively, they are to be regarded as grouped.
4.7.1 Protective conductors and live conductors Make sure that all current-carrying cables are rout- ed through the measuring current transformer. Never route an existing protective conductor through the measuring current transformer. The cable diameter should not exceed half the cur- rent transformer diameter.
Commissioning 5. Commissioning 5.1 Setting addresses Every MRCDB3… has a factory-set Modbus address. The address is 1XX, where XX = the last two digits of the serial number. Example: Serial number = 12345678 --> Modbus address = 178 If the preset address is to be changed, this can be done •...

Commissioning 5.2 Offset calibration The residual current monitoring module must be calibrated to the system to be moni- tored so that the selected protective function can be fulfilled. Each electronic module MRCDB30… must be individually calibrated to the CTBC… built-in measuring current transformer.
Procedure of the first offset calibration Phase Action Install the measuring current transformer in the system Plug the electronic module and the measuring current transformer together (see Chapter 4.5) Disconnect the electronic module from the supply voltage Press and hold the "T" button lights red permanently (not ready for operation) Press and hold the "T"...
Test, reset, function test 6. Test, reset, function test 6.1 Periodic self test The MRCDB… electronic module carries out a self diagnosis at regular intervals and thus ensures the device function. The electronic module feeds a test current into the test winding of the measuring current transformer.

the test intervals mentioned in DGUV V3 (German Social Accident Insurance Regulation 3) are adhered to. The test intervals are to be interpreted in accordance with the risk as- sessment. The recurrent tests must include at least the following: • Testing the environmental conditions for pollution, mechanical damage or insula- tion damage.
