Using type B Residual Current Monitoring allows changes in the level of insulation of your power supply to be detected promptly, before protective devices are tripped by a residual current that puts people at risk and involves the risk of fi re which would lead to the triggering of safety mechanisms and thus the failure of critical IT infrastructure. This time advantage allows countermeasures to be planned and contributes to the high availability of the power supply and, therefore, the data centre. Thanks to our BlueNet PDU, this Residual Current Monitoring is not just undertaken at central measuring points in the main distribution or sub-distribution, but granulated at rack level in every PDU and even for every phase. In the event of escalation, this will help to locate the sources of errors faster and rectify them effi ciently. The residual current sensor conforms to EN 62020 and provides a high physical granularity, maximum safety and high availability. This AC/DC sensitive technology (type B) monitors all kinds of residual current and enables the user to differentiate between alternating (AC) and direct (DC) residual currents. Leakage currents, which are physically required, can therefore be distinguished from real residual currents.
