Description
The Eaton xEffect FRCdM is a digital residual current circuit breaker designed to detect residual-current faults and disconnect a circuit when its operating conditions require tripping. The pictured device belongs to Eaton’s four-pole FRCdM family and is marked with a 40A current rating and 30mA residual-current sensitivity.
The Type B+ variant is intended for applications requiring all-current-sensitive residual-current protection. Correct selection depends on the installation, connected equipment and applicable electrical standards.

Key Features and Benefits
Residual-Current Fault Detection
The RCCB monitors residual current and trips when the relevant operating threshold and conditions are met, helping protect installations against specified electrical fault conditions.
Type B+ Protection
Type B+ devices are designed for applications requiring broader residual-current detection than conventional Type AC devices. Confirm that this specific type matches the installation’s protection design.
Four-Pole Configuration
The four-pole arrangement is intended for compatible multi-phase distribution systems, including applications where neutral switching is required.
Test Button
The built-in test button supports periodic functional checks according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It does not replace required inspection or electrical testing.
Digital FRCdM Design
The FRCdM family is designed for industrial and advanced commercial switchgear applications. The specific tripping characteristics depend on the exact variant.
Typical Applications
Subject to system design and electrical requirements, this RCCB family may be used in:
– Industrial distribution panels
– Commercial electrical switchboards
– Three-phase installations with neutral
– Systems requiring Type B+ residual-current protection
– Electrical installations with compatible inverter-based equipment
