EATON PXF-40/4/03-B Residual Current Device, 40A, 4-pole, 300mA, Type B 300300

The EATON PXF-40/4/03-B is a Type B residual current device that responds to AC, pulsating DC, and smooth DC residual currents, making it suitable for circuits with rectifiers or frequency converters. Its 300 mA sensitivity and 40 A rated current suit it to industrial distribution boards where higher leakage levels are expected.

Highlights

• Rated residual operating current: 300 mA
• Rated current: 40 A, 4-pole
• Type B tripping for AC, pulsating DC, and smooth DC residual currents
• Rated voltage: 230/400 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• DIN rail mounting, 4 modules wide

In daily use

The PXF-40/4/03-B mounts on a standard DIN rail and occupies 4 modules (70 mm). The front face includes a test button and a position indicator for quick status checks. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 1.5 to 35 mm².
