Which RCD to choose for washing and dishwasher?
Good afternoon. Such a question there are 2 household appliances washing machine and dishwasher. Each consumer on a separate cable (NYM 3 * 2.5) that is connected to the shield needs to install an RCD. What kind of RCD should be supplied, the same value as the machine or with a rating higher or lower? What leakage current should the RCD be with? (0.03 or 0.01 mA), according to the type of operation A or AC? Help with resolving the issue. Thank.
RCDs always choose the same rating as the machine or one rating higher (for 16A machines - 25A RCDs). The leakage current should be no more than 0.03A (not mA, if measured in mA, then this is 30 mA). 10 mA (0.01A) can be used, but there may well be false positives, especially if you connect the washing machine and dishwasher to the same ouzo, and even turn it on at the same time. According to the type of operation, type A is more universal.
