RCM Residual Current Monitor

Blue Jay RCM AC Residual Current Monitor

The RCM AC Residual Current Monitor serves as an integrated device for monitoring residual currents in earthed power supply systems such as TNC-S, TN-S, and TT configurations. With the capability to monitor up to 16 channels, this device features a convenient panel-mounting design suitable for various electrical cabinets. The LED screen displays a range of parameters, facilitating easy diagnosis and insulation testing for on-site engineers.

  • RS485 communication Modbus RTU protocol
  • Max 8 channels of residual current and temperature signal access
  • 2kV AC RMS 1 minute, between input/output / case/power supply
  • Used in TT and TN-S systems IEC Standard

For enhanced functionality, this residual current monitor can be equipped with optional current transformers or temperature sensors for each channel, enabling the detection of specific parameters and triggering alarms or trips based on predefined thresholds. Integration with circuit breakers allows for the creation of MRCD applications by combining multiple RCM units.

Furthermore, the RCM includes an RS485 port, enabling seamless data submission to SCADA systems. This feature enhances connectivity and ensures that the monitoring data can be easily integrated into broader control and automation systems. Additionally, the RCM supports both OEM and ODM customization, providing flexibility in meeting specific requirements for residual current monitoring units.
