Standard Limits, Equations & Space Presets

IEC 60364-6 §6.4.3.7, EN 61008-1 (RCCB), and EN 61009-1 (RCBO) verify residual current devices across 0.5x non-trip hold, 1x IΔn (0° & 180°), 5x IΔn fast disconnection (<= 40 ms for 30 mA additional protection), sinusoidal ramp trip threshold (0.5-1.0 x IΔn), and contact voltage Uc <= 50 V.

Verification Checklist (0 / 12)

Pending

  • 1RCD type (Type A / F / B) matches connected load harmonic & DC fault profile (no Type AC on VFD, EVSE, UPS or inverter loads!) [IEC 60364-5-53 §531.3.3]

  • 2Upstream Selective Type S RCD (>= 3x downstream IΔn and time-delayed) coordinated with downstream 30 mA RCDs for total vertical selectivity

  • 3Integral mechanical 'T' (Test) button actuated and verified to trip the breaker cleanly (user quarterly/6-monthly notice affixed)

  • 4RCD tested with downstream loads disconnected (or standing earth leakage current verified < 0.3 x IΔn to avoid false ramp readings)

  • 50.5x IΔn non-trip hold verified at both 0 deg and 180 deg half-cycles without nuisance tripping
