The following monitoring devices must be provided on-site:

Circuit breaker

The size and switching characteristics of the circuit breakers must conform to the rated current of the connected product. Observe local regulations.

Motor protection switch

Make provision for an on-site motor protection switch for devices without a plug! The minimum requirement is a thermal relay/motor protection switch with temperature compensation, differential triggering and anti-reactivation device in accordance with the local regulations. In case of sensitive mains, make provision for the installation on-site of other protective equipment (e.g. overvoltage, undervoltage or phase failure relay, etc.).

Residual-current device (RCD)

  • Install a residual-current device (RCD) in accordance with the regulations of the local energy supply company.
  • If people can come into contact with the device and conductive fluids, install a residual-current device (RCD).
