REC4: Don’t be left in the dark

In summer, many families travel to second homes or go away on holiday. The houses are safe, with refrigerators and freezers running, the watering of plants scheduled, the home automation system linking various devices, the alarm connected, the pool water cleaning and filtration systems ready, the optimum air temperature, the electronic doors to the garage closed... Unless the unexpected happens.

A residual current protection trip isn't always caused by a real threat; sometimes, it's due to a transient disturbance, like an electrical storm, water leak, works near the home that create unexpected trips... In these cases there would be no danger in reclosing the breaker, since there is no real electrical short-circuit. But you're not home to do it manually, so the power isn't restored.

The loss of power can disable crucial devices such as electronic locks, alarm systems, internet connection, security cameras, and smart thermostats. This isn't just inconvenient, it can also compromise the security of the home. And the perishable goods stored in refrigerators and freezers will go to waste. For those who depend on remote access to manage their homes, this can be a major nuisance. Although some systems have backup batteries, they are not infinite and can run down quickly, especially if the power doesn't come back.

The same thing can happen in your second home, but worse, since you might not go back there for days or weeks. To ensure the power is on at all times at home, and that everything will be just like you left it when you return, REC4 is the solution.

The REC4 is an RCCB designed for all those installations in which service continuity is essential. Its compact and modular design makes it easy and fast to install, and it adapts easily to a wide range of applications and environments. Available in 2- and 4-pole models, both feature a smart reclosing motor, which will make 3 attempts to safely and automatically reconnect the power. There are also models with a status output that shows the device is blocked due to reaching the limit of reconnection attempts. This can be done with a light signal by installing a light indicator, or a sound signal with an alarm. This device detects when the energy has been restored, and it automatically reconnects the home's electrical system again. Thanks to this device, the situation is detected and the power supply is reconnected instantly, without the need for human intervention.

It has a system patented by Circutor that converts the REC4 into a device that is completely safe for the user, since before reconnecting, it conducts a check to ensure there is no troubleshooting in progress. Safety is paramount; even if it reconnects automatically, the system prevents reclosing if a person is in direct contact with the system.

For businesses too

Electrical protection is a vital aspect of any electrical installation, whether it's industrial, commercial or residential. The summer holidays are a crucial time for many businesses, companies and industries, since, even though activity is usually lower, they use this time for maintenance and upgrades.

For companies operating in the food and technology sectors, where continuity of electric supply is vital, the REC4 is an essential investment. Its ability to reconnect offers constant peace of mind if the residual current protection should trip at any time of year.

Another important aspect to note is the robustness and reliability of the REC4. Built with high-quality materials and subjected to rigorous quality testing, this device guarantees optimum performance even under the most demanding conditions. Its design makes it an ideal choice for industrial and commercial environments where continuity of supply is paramount and conditions are demanding.

With its combination of technology, ease of installation and reliability, the REC4 by Circutor offers a solution to safeguard electrical installations against any transient faults. To opt for the REC4 is to opt for peace of mind in the electric supply. Avoid problems in your installation and install Circutor's REC4.
