General features
Important :
It is essential to read and fully understand these instructions
before commencing installation.
The Legrand RCD safety socket range represents one of
the most comprehensive protection systems available on
the market today. Depending upon different application require-
ments, a product may be chosen that either remains latched
or, conversely, trips (unlatches) following a mains failure.
This characteristic can be an important criteria when selecting
the product type.
To illustrate this point, a normally open (electrically latched)
device trips in instances of power failure and is thus best sui-
ted for use with machinery incorporating electric motors, e.g.
hedge cutters, grinders, portable drills, etc. as unexpected
power restoration could otherwise cause the appliance to
suddenly restart when perhaps the operator was not in the
immediate vicinity.
Normally closed (mechanically latched) devices on the other
hand, are ideal for installation in floor boxes in commercial
premises as resetting a number of units after a power failure
would be both time consuming and inconvenient. Additionally,
where power is regularly shut down, the normally closed sockets
do not need to be manually reset.
Although RCD safety sockets provide enhanced user protection,
it should be remembered that they are neither designed to
Arena Park prolong the life of dangerous installations nor encourage poor
Dial Lane working practices.
