Residual current devices (RCD) are commonly incorporated in or associated with the following components:
- Industrial-type moulded-case circuit-breakers (MCCB) and air circuit-breakers (ACB) conforming to IEC 60947-2 and its appendix B and M
- Industrial type miniature circuit-breakers (MCB) conforming to IEC 60947-2 and its appendix B and M
- Household and similar miniature circuit-breakers (MCB) complying with IEC 60898, IEC 61008, IEC 61009
- Residual load switch conforming to particular national standards
- Relays with separate toroidal (ring-type) current transformers, conforming to IEC 60947-2 Appendix M
RCDs are mandatorily used at the origin of TT-earthed installations, where their ability to discriminate with other RCDs allows selective tripping, thereby ensuring the level of service continuity required.
Industrial type circuit-breakers with integrated or adaptable RCD module
(see Fig. F64)

Adaptable residual current circuit-breakers, including DIN-rail mounted units (e.g. Compact or Acti 9), are available, to which may be associated an auxiliary RCD module (e.g. Vigi).
The ensemble provides a comprehensive range of protective functions (isolation, protection against short-circuit, overload, and earth-fault.
