3. INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE
3.1 - PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to use the device safely, personnel operating it must follow the safety meas-
ures that comply with the standards of the country where it is to be installed; operators
must wear the required personal protective equipment (rubber gloves, approved facial
protection and flame-resistant clothing) to prevent injuries from electric shock or arcs
caused by exposure to current-carrying conductors, and they must heed the various
warnings indicated in this instruction manual.
The RGU-10A device must be installed by authorised and qualified staff.
The power supply plug must be disconnected and measurement systems switched off before handling,
altering the connections or replacing the device. It is dangerous to handle the device while it is pow-
ered.
Cables must always be kept in perfect condition to avoid accidents or injury to personnel or installa-
tions.
Restrict the operation of the device to the specified measurement category, voltage or current values.
The manufacturer of the device is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the user
or installer to heed the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for damage
resulting from the use of non-original products or accessories or those made by other manufacturers.
Do not use the device to take any measurements if an anomaly or malfunction is detected.
Check the surrounding environment before starting to take measurements. Do not take any measure-
ments in hazardous or explosive environments.
Before carrying out maintenance or repairs, or handling any of the device's connections,
the device must be disconnected from all power sources, both from the device's own
power supply and the measurement's.
Contact the after-sales service if you notice that the device is not working properly.
3.2.- INSTALLATION
When the device is on, its terminals, opening covers or removing elements may ex-
pose the user to parts that are hazardous to touch. Do not use the device until it is
fully installed.
The device must be installed inside an electric panel or enclosure with DIN rail mounting (IEC 60715).
Note: Follow the instructions in Figure 1 to correctly install the device on the DIN rail.

Figure 1:Installing the RGU-10A on the DIN rail.
The device has a LED (CPU) that indicates voltage presence. Even if the aforemen-
tioned LED is off, the user still needs to verify that the device is disconnected from
any power supply.
The RGU-10A has to be connected to a power circuit that is protected with a circuit-breaker or equiv-
alent device to disconnect the device from the mains supply.
3.3 - PANEL MOUNTING ACCESSORY (72 x 72 mm)
Note: The 72 x 72 mm panel mounting accessory is sold separately.
CIRCUTOR has a panel mounting accessory for the RGU-10A device so that it can be installed on 72 x
72 mm panels.
Figure 2 shows the installation of the panel mounting accessory to the RGU-10A.
Disconnect all power supplies and measuring equipment from the device before in-
stalling the panel mounting accessory.

3.5 - WGC TRANSFORMERS
The transformer is designed for wall-mounting or DIN-rail assembly with an accessory for installation.
The WGC is a feed-thru busbar type transformer, where the conductor cables to be measured must
pass through the inner hole or window of the transformer.
3.5.1 PANEL INSTALLATION
For panel installation, 4 clamping clips are provided with the transformer, see Figure 5.
Figure 5: Clamping clip.
The clamping clips must be installed on the WGC, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Position of the clamping clips.
3.5.2 INSTALLATION ON A DIN RAIL
For installation on a DIN rail, two support brackets are provided with the device, see Figure 7.
Figure 7: WGC support brackets.
The steps to ensure proper installation are:

11
Instruction Manual
RGU-10A
1 - Install the brackets in the WGC, Step 1 in Figure 8.
2 - Install the WGC on the DIN rail, Step 2 in Figure 8.
Step 1
Step 2
Figure 8: Installing a WGC on the DIN rail.
3.5.3 DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONDUCTORS IN THE WGC
All the active conductors that feed the loads or part of the installation where earth leakage protection
or monitoring is required must pass through the WGC transformer associated with the RGU-10A.
Active conductors are defined as the phases (L1, L2 and L3) and neutral. Never the protection cable
(PE or Earth) (Figure 9).
PE
N
L1
L3L2
Figure 9:Distribution of the conductors.
Routing the Earth cable (PE) and the rest of the active conductors through the
transformer disables earth leakage current measurement, and earth leakage
protection and motorisation consequently cease to function.
In the event of having to route a cable hose containing all the conductors, including the earth con-
ductor (PE), the PE conductor must be routed in the opposite direction to counteract the effects of its
original path, see Figure 10.
N
L1
L3L2
PE
Figure 10:Conductor distribution (cable hose).

RGU-10A
Instruction Manual
Conductor routing must be neat, centred and separated from the transformer’s inner opening, Figure 11.
L1
L3
L2
N
Figure 11:Correct distribution of conductors.
The inadequate arrangement of the conductors, as shown in Figure 12, as well as not
following the recommendations indicated in Figure 13,can cause the transformer
to lose its measurement efficiency and residual current protection. Unexpected
disconnections may occur in the installation if the WGC is associated to a differential
relay that actuates the circuit breaker.

4. OPERATION
4.1 - PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The RGU-10A is a type-A ultraimmunised earth leakage protection and monitoring relay that is com-
patible with the earth leakage transformers in the WGC range.
The device measures, calculates and displays the residual current of balanced or unbalanced three-
phase industrial networks. The measurement is a true RMS value, taken by using a residual current
input from an external measurement toroidal transformer of the WGC series.
The RGU-10A can be used to program and adjust all the parameters required to obtain complete pro-
tection and control of the installation.
In normal operating conditions, the main values that determine the residual current protection of the
installation, such as sensitivity, delay and instantaneous leakage current, are shown on the display.
In normal operating conditions, the display is shown in White, Blue if in configuration mode, Yellow
if the pre-alarm has tripped, or Red for any event that causes a trip of the main relay, showing the
reason.
Main characteristics:
True root mean square value.
Ultra-immunised type A differential.
Immunity to transients.
Filtering of the highest order high frequencies.
Trip adjustment between 80 and 100% In.
Inverse curve.
4.2 - LED INDICATORS
The RGU-10A device has 2 LEDs:
- CPU, indicates that the device is on.
- STATE, indicates the device status, see Table 5.
