The RCMS490-D-1 is a 12-channel residual current monitor designed for earthed systems (TN and TT systems) to monitor residual currents, fault currents and operating currents in AC, DC and AC/DC hybrid systems. The device performs non‑invasive measurements via external measuring current transformers and provides early warning when ground faults are detected. It complies with IEC 62020 and IEC 61557‑9 standards.

· Harmonics analysis: Supports harmonics analysis, DC component analysis and total harmonic factor analysis.
· Continuous CT connection monitoring: Continuously monitors external current transformer connection status; alarms immediately on wire break.
· Password protection: Prevents unauthorised parameter changes.
Typical Applications
· Residual current monitoring in earthed systems (TN/TT systems)
· Residual current monitoring in fire‑hazard locations – monitors leakage currents that may cause fire
· TN‑S system EMC monitoring – monitors stray currents and additional N‑PE connection bridges
· N‑conductor overload monitoring – monitors neutral conductor overload caused by harmonics
· PE conductor and equipotential bonding conductor current monitoring
