SiE earth leakage protection in aggressive environments:

Published: 30 April 2009 Category: Technical articles

Protection of people and equipment and guaranteed optimum safety at all times is one of the main specialities of Schneider Electric and has been so for many years. The earth leakage protection function has thus continually evolved with an aim to improving not only its inherent capacities but also that of its adaptation to all kinds of environmental constraints. The SiE is the outcome:
