Wylex WRL100/2 Double Pole 100 Amp 300mA Type AC Residual current circuit breaker

Wylex WRL100/2 Double Pole 100 Amp 300mA Type AC Residual current circuit breaker

- Wylex branded residual current circuit breaker.
- Disconnects the circuit as soon as it detects a current leak to the earth wire. 
- Residual current circuit breaker measures the current between the live and neutral conductor.

The Wylex WRL100/2 Double Pole 100 Amp 300mA Type AC a residual-current device, residual-current circuit breaker or ground fault circuit interrupter is an electrical safety device that quickly breaks an electrical circuit with leakage current to ground. It disconnects the circuit as soon as it detects a current leak to the earth wire. 

A Residual Current Device is a device that measures the current between the live and neutral conductor and disconnects a circuit whenever it detects an imblance. Such an imbalance is sometimes caused by current leakage through the body of a person who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit. A lethal shock could result from such an occurrence. RCDs are designed to disconnect or 'trip' very quickly quickly in order to cut the power to that circuit and thus mitigate the harm caused by electric shocks.

When to use an RCD

Din rail mounted RCDs, or RCDs used in consumer units, such as the WRL100/2 protect a number of circuits from earth leakage simultaneously. The new 17th Edition Regulations stipulate that all circuits must be RCD protected. This means that an earth leakage fault on one circuit will result in the disconnecting of another circuit if they are protected by the same RCD.

Critical circuits such as fire alarms, intruder systems or freezers, which should not be tripped by faults on other circuits should be protected by RCBOs.
