if a system is equipped with 20 identical power supplies and the leakage current of each power supply is
equal to or less than 1.5 mA, the leakage current of the system totals 30 mA. A leakage protector with 30
mA rated action current supports less than ten power supplies (that is, Action current of the leakage
protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/1.5 = 10). In other words, the leakage
protector with 30 mA rated action current supports no more than ten power supplies. In this case, the 20
power supplies in the system require at least two leakage protectors with 30 mA rated action current and
each leakage protector supports ten power supplies. If power supplies in a system differ in models, the
rated leakage action current of each leakage protector divided by two is greater than the sum of maximum
leakage currents of all the power supplies. The rated leakage non-action current of a leakage protector
shall be 50% of the leakage action current. Take a leakage protector with 30 mA rated leakage action
current as an example. The rated leakage non-action current shall be 15 mA. When the leakage current is
below 15 mA, the protector shall not act. Otherwise, misoperation may easily occur due to high sensitivity
and thus the leakage protector trips, devices are powered off, and services are interrupted.
● To guarantee personal safety, the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector in the system
must be equal to or less than 30 mA (human body safety current is 30 mA). When twice of the total
leakage current of the system is greater than 30 mA, the system must be equipped with two or more
leakage protectors.
● For the leakage current value of each power supply model, see the power supply model specifications in
Chapter 1.
2.1.4 Electrostatic Discharge Safety
To prevent damage caused by static electricity, you must pay attention to the following:
Ensure that the grounding screw on the rear panel of the device is tightened. Ensure that the AC power
socket is a single-phase three-core power socket with protective earthing conductors (PE).
Keep the indoor installation environment clean and free of dust.
Keep the indoor humidity within a certain range.
2.1.5 Laser Safety
RG-ES226GC-P, RG-ES218GC-P, RG-ES210GS-P and RG-ES206GS-P switches support various types of
optical transceivers available in the market, and these optical transceiver are Class I laser products. Improper
use of an optical transceiver may cause damage. Therefore, pay attention to the following:
Note:
When an optical transceiver is working, ensure that its port has been connected with an optical fiber or
covered by a dust cap to keep out dust and prevent it from burning your eyes.
When an optical transceiver is working, do not look into its port after removing the optical fiber. Otherwise,
your eyes may be hurt.
Caution
Do not approach or look into any optical port under any circumstances. This may cause permanent damage to
your eyes.
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the switch, the installation site must meet the
following requirements.
