What are differentials and circuit breakers

RCDs and circuit breakers are two types of switches that perform essential functions in an electrical system, protecting users and equipment from overloads, short circuits and current leakage.

What are differentials and circuit breakers used for?

These devices have fundamental tasks for the safety of your electrical system:

• Residual Current Circuit Breakers (GFCI): They are designed to detect current leaks to earth and interrupt the electrical circuit in the event of anomalies, preventing electric shocks and potential fires.
• Circuit breakers: They offer protection against overloads and short circuits, interrupting the flow of current when a certain threshold value is exceeded, preventing damage to equipment and wiring.

Technical features

The differentials and circuit breakers available on Elettroclick are selected for their high performance and reliability. Here are some of their main technical characteristics:

• High Sensitivity: RCDs have sensitivity thresholds in mA (milliamps) that detect even the smallest current losses, ensuring maximum protection against electric shock.
• Overload Protection: The circuit breakers are calibrated to interrupt the electrical circuit in the event of prolonged overload, safeguarding equipment and cables.
• Short circuit protection: They automatically recognize and intervene in the event of a short circuit, limiting damage and preventing risk situations.
• High Quality Materials: Made with sturdy and durable materials to ensure long life and reliability over time.
• Easy Installation: Designed for simple installation, compatible with DIN mounting standards and easily inserted into electrical panels.
• Safety Certifications: Compliant with international regulations and certified to guarantee the highest level of safety and quality.

What is the difference between a circuit breaker and a differential?

The main difference between a circuit breaker and a residual current device lies in their specific functions of protecting the electrical system. While both are critical to ensuring electrical safety, they operate in different ways and react to different types of anomalies.

• Circuit breaker: The circuit breaker combines two protection functions in a single device. The magnetic component reacts quickly to short circuits, immediately breaking the circuit when it detects a sudden and significant increase in current. The thermal component, on the other hand, protects the system from overloads, interrupting the circuit in the event of a gradual and prolonged increase in the current that exceeds the safety threshold. Therefore, the circuit breaker prevents damage to cables and electrical devices caused by excessive heat or short circuits.
• RCD (GFCI): The RCD, commonly known as a GFCI, is designed to protect people from electric shock. It works by detecting the differences between the current entering and leaving a circuit. If there is a leakage current, for example to earth, indicating a loss of insulation or a potential electric shock, the RCD immediately breaks the circuit. This device is essential to ensure user safety and prevent fires due to electrical leaks.
