Leakage detection unit is a residual current monitoring unitis designed for use in e-mobility infrastructure and AC EV Charger designs to monitor leakage currents in mode 2/ mode 3 / mode 4 electric vehicle charging.
The Leakage Detection Unit, or RCMU, is a critical safety component in EV charging systems. It continuously monitors the electrical circuit for any leakage current to ground. Consequently, it swiftly identifies potential insulation failures or hazardous situations. If a dangerous leakage current is detected, the RCMU immediately triggers a shutdown. Therefore, it is essential for preventing electric shock and ensuring user protection.
It is a vital safety device in EV charging systems. It offers several key features and performs critical functions to ensure safety and reliability.
Key Features of RCMU:
1.High Sensitivity: Precisely detects even minimal leakage currents.
2.Rapid Response: Triggers protective measures within milliseconds.
3.Continuous Monitoring: Operates in real-time during charging sessions.
4.Compact Design: Easily integrates into EV charger circuitry.
5.Durability: Built to withstand electrical noise and environmental stress.
The RCMU is ideally suited for measuring both AC and DC residual currents. It effectively identifies various earth fault currents when combined with charge controllers and monitoring modules. Furthermore, this leakage detection unit continuously monitors for specific thresholds, including 6mA of DC and 30mA of AC residual current. Consequently, if any fault occurs, it immediately signals the Smart EVSE controller. Therefore, it provides a crucial layer of safety for the entire charging system.
