AC-type ground fault circuit interrupter

Discover our selection of AC-type residual current devices (RCDs), designed to provide electrical protection for people in residential or commercial distribution panels. An AC-type model detects sinusoidal alternating residual currents and cuts off the power supply in the event of an insulation fault. Its use is recommended in standard circuits that do not generate a dc component: lighting, standard electrical outlets, or conventional electric heating. It is installed at the front of the circuit and must be used in conjunction with branch circuit breakers, which provide protection against overloads and short circuits. For cooktops, washing machines, or charging stations, choose a suitable type A outlet.
