Czech Republic Market & 6mA Leakage Current Detector
Western Europe will become the largest electric vehicle production center in the European Union, with Germany, France, Spain and Italy taking the lead in production. In the eastern EU countries, it is estimated that by 2025, Slovakia will have the highest number of electric vehicles per capita, followed by the Czech Republic and Hungary. It is understood that in 2019 Skoda has cooperated with Mlada Boleslav Electric Power Company in the Czech Republic and invested 3.4 million euros in the construction of charging infrastructure. Currently, more than 300 charging piles have been initially built in the Czech Republic, including more than 220 AC charging piles and 80 DC charging piles. In addition, the company will also launch a travel project related to electric vehicles in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, and it is speculated that it may be a shared car business dominated by pure electric vehicles.
It can be seen that with the development of electric vehicles, the demand for charging piles is also increasing. As a protector for electric vehicle charging pile equipment, a residual current device is indispensable. It can also be called a residual current detector, a residual current sensor, a leakage current sensor, a leakage current detector, etc. It can ensure personal safety, equipment safety, electrical safety, and avoid electric shock and leakage current hazards. For this reason, IVY has launched the MD series leakage current detector to meet the needs of charging safety. Recently, many Czech charging pile manufacturers have searched for keywords such as 6ma leakage current, 6ma dc leakage current sensor, and 6ma leakage current detector on the Alibaba platform. It can be seen that leakage current sensors are very popular in the Czech market.
When a person gets an electric shock or a circuit leaks, and the leakage current sensor detects that the leakage current is greater than the set value (6mA), the MD series leakage current monitor can quickly send an alarm signal to avoid electric shock injuries and fire accidents caused by leakage.
IEC Requirements for RCD Protection in EV Charging Installations • According to IEC 60364-7-72 every connection point (plug/socket) must be fitted with its own residual current operated protective device (RCD) with rated residual current I∆n ≤ 30 mA • Measures must also be taken to ensure protection in the case of smooth DC residual currents that are higher than 6 mA • This DC protection may be provided by a B Type RCD, or provide protection in the event of a DC fault current ≥ 6mA DC flowing in the installation.
MD series residual current sensor (RCD/RCM) is an ideal protection device for detecting and protecting different leakage current/residual current/fault current. When someone gets an electric shock or the leakage current exceeds the specified value, RCD can quickly output an alarm signal to protect the safety of people and electrical equipment. As a B-type RCD, MD series leakage sensors are widely used in many industries such as electric vehicle charging, photovoltaic systems (solar panels), industrial equipment, medical equipment, new energy, DC panels, fire-fighting power distribution cabinets, and the Internet of Things. Any installation where there is a risk of DC current flowing. This technology brings us the closest to full protection of all known residual fault currents.
At present, it is common in the market to monitor or output an alarm signal for a single AC or DC leakage current at the same time, and our leakage current sensor can set the leakage current in the application of DC and AC, and generate an alarm signal when the set current is reached. , And can output switch control signals. At the same time, it has a digital output function, which can read the current value of DC and AC.
Charging piles are gradually becoming popular in society and families. For equipment safety, personal safety, and power safety, whether they are indoors or exposed outdoors, their safety protection must be indispensable. With the vigorous development of charging piles in various European countries, our MD series leakage sensors are very popular in Europe and have won good praise.
