Both Type B RCDs and RDC-DDs can be used for smooth DC leakage current detection, individually complying with IEC 62423 / 60947-2 and IEC 62955. In this blog, our experts explain why built-in RDC-DDs are more favored for EV charging applications.

Some EV charger manufacturers declare built-in type-A 30 mA and DC 6 mA residual current protection for their products. It is nice to have charger built-in type-A 30mA protection as backup protective measures of external type-A 30mA RCDs, but the external type-A 30mA RCDs shall not be removed.

6 mA DC RCM is not a new term for electricians and electronic engineers that have experiences in the EV charging business. This article introduces why a 6 mA DC RCM is requested in a AC EV charging pile.

6 mA DC RCM – officially named as residual direct current detection device (RDC-MD) according to IEC 62955 standard – has been widely used in mode-3 EV charging point. This article introduces how to select 6 mA DC RCM for mode-3 EV charging points.

Learn the core differences between RDC-DD, RDC-MD, and RDC-PD for Mode-3 EV charging. This guide explores IEC 62955 requirements, the shift toward integrated RDC-M-modules, and expert advice on navigating IEC 60947-2 compliance to build safe, cost-effective wallboxes.

This article introduces how to select the right type of RCD installed outside the home EV chargers. Although EV chargers might be declared as type-A 30 mA RCD and RDC-DD, we strongly suggest to install a type-A 30 mA RCD upstream a EV charger.

It is argued that voltage-dependent (VD) RCDs might not be able to perform functionally under AC 50V - leaving a protection blind range of 14 V to the AC 36V safe voltage for humans. This article provides a in-sight view about applying VD RCDs for EV charging application.

Some people argue that Type-B RCD is better than the combination of RCD type A and RDC-DD for residual current protection at EV charging. Actually both of them provides sufficient protection for EV AC charging.
