INDUSTRIAL>Earth Leakage & Monitoring Units (EMU)


The EMU Unit is housed in an enclosure manufactured from a choice of GRP, Thermoplastic, Stainless Steel or Mild Steel materials.

A-Belco offers variations of EMU units to include isolation, short circuit and overload protection according to individual customer design requirements.

A 30mA RCD, EMU and socket with provision for connecting a pilot conductor is featured as standard within the unit.

Application - Earth monitoring

The Earth Monitoring function detects loss of earth continuity and acts to limit high earth fault impedance to prevent reoccurring disconnections and protect the connected equipment.

Application - Earth leakage

The Earth Leakage function acts to disconnect the circuit breaker upon detection of an earth fault.
