existing protective measures such as insulation or protective
grounding.
A summation current transformer in the residual-current device
detects the electric currents in the conductors L1, L2, L3 and N.
In the normal operating state, the sum of these currents is zero.
Under fault conditions a differential current is formed which trips
the residual-current device. The residual-current device then
disconnects all poles of the loads.
