The best-known causes include drive technology components such as frequency inverters, servo drives, cable shields and other EMC components. Other causes are switched-mode power supplies, UPS systems, electronic ballasts and regenerative units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The required use of the AC\/DC sensitive residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) is almost impossible in these applications, since today\u2019s residual current protective devices (RCD) cannot differentiate between operational leakage currents and failure currents due to human contact or insulation problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">With the LEAKCOMP\u00ae HP leakage current compensation, frequency inverters and servo drives can be operated safely on AC\/DC sensitive RCCBs with a rated residual current of 30 mA or higher.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left mb-0 wp-block-paragraph\">Reliable personal and fire protection is therefore ensured!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-2 is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"youtube-video-embed\">\n\t<div class=\"ratio ratio-16x9\" class=\"wp-block-epa-am-epa-youtube-embed\">\n\t\t<div class=\"youtube-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"youtube-player\" data-id=\"6lSm9Glax3I\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"yt-info\">\n\t\t<div class=\"yt-info\"><small><strong>Note:<\/strong> Clicking the play button <i class=\"bi bi-play-circle-fill\"><\/i> will establish a connection to the servers of YouTube and thus data will be transferred there.

measures (use of line filters, use of shielded motor cables, etc.) must be taken in order to meet CE conformity and the binding protection regulations of the low-voltage, EMC and machine directive. Cable shields, interference suppression capacitors and motor windings represent parasitic capacitances. In a fault-free system state, operational leakage currents flow through these parasitic capacitances to the protective conductor or via other conductive parts to the earth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturers and operators of devices and systems are fundamentally obliged to protect people against electric shock and to switch off sources of danger that could cause fires. Exactly these hazards can be caused by fault currents and must therefore be included in the safety considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For personal and fire protection in these systems, AC\/DC sensitive residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) with rated residual currents of 30 mA are used. These rated residual currents are reached or even exceeded in many electrical systems during normal operation. In the past, the response to such problems was the impermissible expansion\/bridging of the protective device or the lowering of the prescribed protective goals by using residual current devices with higher rated residual currents (e.g. 300 mA instead of 30 mA).<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/epa.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/LCHP_trigger_without-1024x786.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5805 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epa.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/LCHP_trigger_without-1024x786.png 1024w, https:\/\/epa.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/LCHP_trigger_without-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/epa.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/LCHP_trigger_without.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currents that are caused by insulation faults or by the human body (e.g. through contact) are fault currents.
