When connecting electrical devices to switchgear, safety of man and machine must be taken into account. Thus, circuits with a rated current of ≤ 20 A which supply sockets in or on enclosures of machines must be fused by means of a residual-current protective device (rated differential current of ≤ 30mA). This is ensured by the new Rittal interface flap for RC circuit breakers.

Interface flaps provide quick access to the outlets and network ports that external devices such as laptops, programming and diagnostic devices need. The enclosure affected remains closed and is so protected from ambient influences and unauthorised access.

With the new Rittal interface flap, an RC circuit breaker can easily be snapped into the cut-out provided for this purpose. This ensures a standard-compliant protection of the socket. The circuit breaker can be reset without opening the enclosure. This way, safety and handling are significantly improved.

The cutout is designed for standard commercial RCBOs (residual current operated devices). In addition, RJ45 and VDE socket connections are available.

Besides this, Rittal also offers modular interface flaps, which can be provided with different interfaces as needed.
