Why Choose the Lovato RTB110 Type B Toroidal Current Transformer?
The Lovato RTB110 is a robust Type B toroidal current transformer designed for use with compatible Lovato earth leakage relays in residual current monitoring systems. As part of the Lovato RTB toroidal current transformer range, it provides reliable sensing for installations where Type B earth leakage detection is required.
The RTB110 features a large 110 mm internal aperture, allowing multiple phase conductors and the neutral, where present, to pass through the toroid for residual current measurement. The protective earth conductor must remain outside the transformer. In compatible Lovato Type B earth leakage relay systems, the RTB110 is intended for residual current thresholds of 100 mA or higher.
With overall dimensions of approximately 150 × 160 × 110 mm and a weight of 680 g, the RTB110 is well suited to industrial electrical panels and power distribution systems with larger cable groups. Compliance with IEC/EN/BS 60947-2 supports dependable integration into professional earth leakage protection installations.

Reliable Residual Current Monitoring for Type B Protection Systems
Toroidal current transformers such as the Lovato RTB110 detect residual current by measuring the vector sum of the currents flowing through the conductors that pass through the toroid. Under normal operating conditions these currents balance, while an imbalance indicates leakage current that can be evaluated by the connected earth leakage relay.
For correct installation, all live conductors of the monitored circuit, including the neutral where present, should pass through the RTB110 while the protective earth conductor remains outside. Connection wires between the toroid and relay should be twisted, kept away from power cables and kept as short as practical to help maintain reliable signal integrity.
