RCMS460-D Bender Residual Current Monitor

Bender Residual Current Monitor RCMS460-D

RCMS460-D Bender Residual Current Monitor is used to monitor fault currents or residual currents in grounded systems (TN and TT systems). The sum of all conductors except the ground wire is measured by measuring current transformers.

  • Measurement Types: Alternating current (AC), Pulsating current, AC/DC sensitive measurements；
  • Current transformer Selection: CTBS25 or CTUB100 series, CTAC, WR, WS, and WF;
  • Up to 1080 measuring channels (sub-circuits) can be monitored
  • Up to 90 residual current monitors can be connected
  • BMS bus with RS-485 interface and BMS protocol
  • 24 V DC power supply unit
  • 12 measuring channels
