- Medical areas are among the most highly regulated and have the highest standards of any industry.
- While medical standard RCD’s (10mA) are widely used, due to the many applications where Unearthed/IT environments are used, maintaining the high level of electrical protection in all applications is problematic. The many areas of patient transport both within the confines of hospitals and other defined medical areas together with vehicular applications create more areas of concern for the provision of electrical protection.
- The RVT provides an additional layer of electrical protection to the existing frontline RCD protection on offer. When operating in an earthed electrical environment (MEN-Multiple Earth Neutral) the device provides a back-up if a catastrophic failure were to occur within the earthing system.
By far the highest benefit of the RVT Device can be experienced within unearthed/IT environments by enabling detection and electrical protection against the ‘Non-dangerous’ 1st fault condition. If either L1 or L2 should provide a leakage of voltage to frame, the device detects this and creates an imbalance across the accompanying RCD. The RCD ‘sees’ an imbalance and isolates the circuit accordingly.
