Differential switch - 2P - 40A - 30mA - B-EV TYPE 400V

Acti9 Type B Differential Switch - Schneider

Differential switches are our best defense against electrical hazards. These devices protect users from electrocution and property damage.
Unsurprisingly, the International Electrical Commission (IEC) makes the use of Type B differential switches mandatory in some applications and strongly recommends them for other applications.
With our smart and reliable Type B differential switches, Schneider Electric will help you meet the latest CIS standards.

Differential switches are designed and certified to protect against fibrillation, electric shock and electrocution (for example, if a person comes directly into contact with a wire).
Today, the new electrical installations are equipped with additional equipment, such as inverters for photovoltaic installations, speed dimmers in HVAC systems, pumps and inverters. These non-linear charges produce complex leaks in CC and in frequencies that cannot be detected by standard Type AC or Type A differential switches.

Type B differential switches are the optimal solution for these complex loads, detecting current leaks to the CA and PURE cc high-frequency land in addition to normal CA current leaks. Thanks to their high immunity to untimely triggering, these differential switches are the ideal choice for protection and continuity of service.
