Protection Settings Residual Current Protection The residual current protection is designed to provide protection against abnormal current flow to the earth, either due to an insulation fault (Earth Fault) or in the absence of an insulation fault (Earth Leakage). The ZS_TF CBR allows for adjustment of both the residual operating current and non-actuating time delay. Settings can be adjusted to provide specific residual current protection for electrical systems and equipment, or to allow for residual current selectivity in electrical systems where residual current protection devices are connected in series.
Protection Settings The residual operating current and non-actuating time delay can be selected from multiple values using the adjustment dials on the ZS_TF CBR. R – Adjusting IΔ (Residual Operating Current) The residual operating current setting can be set to values between 30 mA and 3.0 A according to standard AS / NZS / IEC 60947-2 Annex B.

Integrated Residual Current Unit The ZS_TF CBR uses an integrated residual current unit which provides the residual current protection functionality. The residual current unit features a power indication LED, residual current Trip indicator, Test button, and Remote Trip functionality as standard. Notice: The integrated residual current unit of the ZS_TF CBR is not a repairable or replaceable component.
Integrated Residual Current Unit Residual Current Trip Indication The yellow pushbutton labelled “E/L trip” indicates that the ZS_TF CBR has tripped due to operation of the residual current protection. The E/L trip button remains in the depressed (“pushed in”) position during normal operation and no residual current trip event has occurred. When a residual current trip event occurs, the CBR main power toggle will switch to the TRIPPED position and the E/L trip indicator will extend outwards (“popped out”).
Integrated Residual Current Unit Remote Trip Operation Remote Trip (RT) functionality is provided as a standard feature for ZS_TF model CBRs. The residual current unit of the ZS_TF CBRs has two Remote Trip wires, labelled RT1 and RT2, which come out of the front right-hand side of the CBR through a small opening in the front cover.

Integrated Residual Current Unit Remote Trip Operation If Remote Trip functionality is not required, the “REMOTE TRIP” wires RT1 and RT2 can be stored or removed in such a manner that there is no continuity between the RT conductors. When storing the Remote Trip wires for future use, the RT1 and RT2 conductors can either be coiled up safely or wired to terminal blocks that are not connected to any other equipment.
