Fi und LS lösen aus?

Mir hat heute ein Arbeiter die Frage gestellt:

Stell dir vor du hast eine Steckdose mit dazugehörigen Stromkreis. In diesen Stromkreis fällt dauernt der FI und der LS. Was ist passiert?

Kann mir wer weiter helfen? Danke!

There is a sum current transformer in the FI. In the case of a single-phase alternating voltage, L and N are passed through the sum current transformer. If the sum of backflow and backflow is not equal or deviates too large, the FI triggers.

This deviation thus occurs when the current flowing through L does not flow back over the N in the same amount. This missing quantity is looking for another way, namely via the PE.

The pure FI is therefore a comparator and triggers differential currents.

The LS, on the other hand, is an overcurrent and short-circuit protection device. It triggers when an overcurrent flows too long and thermally triggers the LS or suddenly a very high current flows and electromagnetically triggers.

Let’s assume there’s a full short circuit between L and N. The current may be 3kA arbitrarily. Because the 3kA flows across the L and N alike, the FI does not trigger, but the LS.

Now we assume that there is a body closure between L, the human body and earth. The fault current may be 100 mA. Because the 100 mA flows through L, but no longer back through N, but through PE, the FI triggers, but not the LS, because this current is too low for the latter.

Now we assume that there is a short circuit between L and PE. The current may also be 3kA arbitrarily. These flow via L, but no longer via N, but via PE. The FI triggers, like the LS.

When the housing is grounded and the phase L comes into contact with it, this is also a short circuit, one speaks of the so-called perfect body closure. The FI and LS naturally also apply to these errors. Whether the LS comes to triggering depends on whether the FI does not already trigger.

But if the housing is not grounded, the fault trough lacks a path. However, if a connection to the earth is established with this housing, e.g. by your human body, because you now touch the housing, a fault circuit is created. Your body resistance is now decisive for the level of the fault current, which is significantly lower than that of the complete body closure, but is then interrupted by the FI.

I suppose the worker or taskman means a circle where LS and FI are separate, so no combined FI-LS, so you can be sure that both trigger.

  • If LS and FI trigger, it is a Earthquake (Short against Earth). Or a fault sttrom (insulation defect) plus an overcurrent.
  • Only LS, and FI stays in, then it is a normal short circuit
  • Only FI, then it is a fault current or even insulation defect.

Look at the conditions under which these protective devices trigger.

And then look at the mistakes that both trigger simultaneously.

Fi: Body and earth closure, LS: Overload unu short circuit.

And now find the smallest common denominator. 🙂

One triggers at too high a current.

The other triggers a fault current.

Naaaaaa?

This would have to be considered

LS is a protective device for the system.

It’s a circuit breaker.

Technical tricks enabled a small personal protection.

The Fi, professional RCD, is personal protection. He’ll blow what’s coming in, what’s going on.

Differences present RCD switches off.

In the case described, there is probably a connection between L and Pe

Yes. Except you would have nen it-net like me at the time

It’s a rich earth.

for what is predesitinated are devices with heating windings, motors, transformers etc.

here only piece for piece helps to find the error.
