People Electric · Moulded Case Circuit Breaker
Product overview
People Electric RDM5 moulded-case circuit breakers distribute power and provide protection matched to the specified release and accessory configuration. Their breaking capacity varies with frame, L/M/H level and operating voltage. The supported pole configurations are selected together with the frame and breaking level to avoid unlisted combinations.

| Pole / level restrictions | 125A and 250A frames: 2P/3P/4P for L and M, 3P/4P for H. 400A/630A/800A frames: 3P/4P for L/M/H. |
| 125A and 250A Icu/Ics at AC400V | L: 50/35kA; M: 70/50kA; H: 100/70kA |
| 125A and 250A Icu/Ics at AC690V | L: 20/10kA; M: 20/12kA; H: 30/15kA |
| 400A and 630A Icu/Ics at AC400V | L: 50/50kA; M: 70/70kA; H: 100/75kA |
| 400A and 630A Icu/Ics at AC690V | L: 20/10kA; M: 25/15kA; H: 35/18kA |
| 800A Icu/Ics at AC400V | L: 65/65kA; M: 75/75kA; H: 100/75kA |
| 800A Icu/Ics at AC690V | L: 20/10kA; M: 25/15kA; H: 35/20kA |
| Rated insulation voltage | 1000V |
| Arc clearance | 125A/250A frames: ≤50mm; 400A/630A/800A: ≤100mm, as tabulated |
| Installation and connection | Vertical or horizontal installation; front, rear and plug-in connection drawings are included. Confirm the exact numeric dimension schedule for the ordered frame and poles. |
| Environment | Altitude ≤2,000m; -5 to +40°C, daily average ≤35°C; pollution degree 3; mounting inclination ≤22.5° |
| Release / accessory / neutral codes | The complete order must specify the release, accessories and any 4P neutral arrangement. Do not infer these from the frame or current alone. |
Frame, pole count and breaking level are combined in one selector because 2P is not offered for H level or the larger frames in this catalogue. The rated-current buttons are restricted to that combination. Main-voltage selection does not make the highest Icu/Ics valid at both voltages. Confirm the trip/release specification, neutral code, operating arrangement, accessory supplies and exact mounting dimensions before ordering.
Typical applications
- AC distribution circuits requiring a moulded-case protective device coordinated to the actual voltage and fault level.
- Infrequent circuit switching and specified motor-protection applications, subject to the correct release and manufacturer confirmation.
