The RCM420-D-2 is a residual current monitor from Bender, part of the LINETRAXX® series. It is designed for earthed systems (TN and TT systems) to monitor earth fault currents (residual currents) in AC systems. When the residual current exceeds the preset threshold, the device triggers an alarm but does not disconnect the power supply, ensuring continuous system operation. The device is a Type A residual current monitor, sensitive to both AC and pulsating DC residual currents, and complies with IEC 62020 and IEC 61557‑9.
