Why a Type B residual current detection is needed?
The residual current detection can be traced back to around 1990, and the earliest is type AC, which is used for general power frequency residual current detection.
The different focusing points of electrical equipment on different power levels and the diversity of circuit topologies, resulting in the types of residual currents generated are very complex.
Common Type AC/A or Type A can also meet the requirements for residual current detection of general circuit topology. (Phase control, Pulse control, and unidirectional half-bridge, etc)
Load current & Fault current may occur in general circuit topology
For some power topologies with rectification or frequency conversion (double-pulse bridge inverter, one-way half-wave band filter, double-pulse bridge with PFC, etc.), the residual current waveform is often classified into two types: high-frequency harmonic components and DC components. And the general type AC /A detection cannot work, when the DC residual current is superimposed, the type AC/A residual current detection may fail, so the type B residual current detection is widely applied.
Load current & Fault current may occur in power topology with rectification/frequency conversion
Type B residual current detection types include type AC, type A, and type F, which is safer and can detect DC components, and high-frequency harmonic components. Therefore, type B solutions are gradually frequently used.
