- Reclosing by insulation, the device does not reclose until the leakage has disap- peared. 5�2�1�- RECLOSING BY INSULATION Following a time delay after a disconnection due to an RCCB trip, the REC 4 makes a measure- ment to check whether there is a leakage current. If there is none it begins to reclose. The REC 4 attempts a maximum of 3 measurements to check the leakage current; following this the unit stays locked and does not automatically reclose. If the time between a reclosure and the next trip is greater than the restart time, the reclosing attempts start over at zero. The delay and restart ...
