Doepke DFS and DHS NU series residual current circuit breakers and main switches with neutral conductor monitoring

Product Category Overview

Product Family:

Switching devices with mains monitoring (Neutral conductor monitoring)

Main Purpose:

Protection against damage caused by:

  • Neutral conductor interruption
  • Phase failure
  • Asymmetrical overvoltage
  • Undervoltage
  • Neutral rail interruption (NUS version)

Disconnection Time:

≤ 150 ms

Protection Benefit:

  • Prevents overvoltage damage
  • Protects electronics (routers, PCs, TVs, smart home devices)
  • Prevents fire hazards
  • Provides enhanced property protection

Technical Background (For Website Content Section)

Problem:

Neutral conductor interruption can cause:

  • Neutral point shift
  • Overvoltage up to ~400V
  • Undervoltage on heavy loads
  • Destruction of sensitive equipment

Standard RCCB Limitation:

Traditional RCCBs:

  • Protect against electric shock
  • Do NOT detect neutral interruption on supply side

Solution:

DFS NU and DHS NU/NUS series:

  • Monitor all line conductors (L1, L2, L3)
  • Monitor neutral conductor (N)

Detect:

  • Neutral conductor breakage
  • Phase failure
  • Overvoltage
  • Undervoltage

Automatically disconnect within 150 ms

Cannot be switched on if N and phase are interchanged
