Residual current operated circuit-breakers without integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses (RCCBs)-General rules
家用和类似用途的无整体过电流保护的剩余电流操作断路器(RCCB)
BS EN 61008-1:2012+A12:2017 applies to residual current operated circuit-breakers functionally independent of, or functionally dependent on, line voltage, for household and similar uses, not incorporating overcurrent protection (hereafter referred to as RCCBs), for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c. and rated currents not exceeding 125 A, for fixed installations, intended principally for protection against shock hazard.These devices are intended to protect persons against indirect contact, the exposed conductive parts of the installation being connected to an appropriate earth electrode. They may be used to provide protection against fire hazards due to a persistent earth fault current, without the operation of the overcurrent protective device.RCCBs having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA are also used as a means for additional protection in case of failure of the protective means against electric shock.This standard applies to devices performing simultaneously the functions of detection of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value.Cross References:CISPR 14-1:2005CISPR 14-1:2005/Corrigendum 1:2009EN 55014-1:2006IEC 60038EN 60038IEC 60060-1:1989IEC 60060-1:1989/Corrigendum 1:1990IEC 60060-1:1989/Corrigendum 2:1992HD 588.1 S1:1991IEC 60060-2:1994EN 60060-2:1994IEC 60068-2-30:2005EN 60068-2-30:2005IEC 60112:2003IEC 60112:2003/Corrigendum 1:2003IEC 60112:2003/Corrigendum 2:2003EN 60112:2003IEC 60228:2004EN 60228:2005EN 60228:2005/Corrigendum 1:2005IEC 60364HD 60364IEC 60417IEC 60529EN 60529IEC 60664-1:2007EN 60664-1:2007IEC 60664-3EN 60664-3IEC 60695-2-10:2000EN 60695-2-10:2001IEC 60884-1IEC 61009EN 61009IEC 61543:1995IEC 61543:1995/A1:2004IEC 61543:1995/A2:2005EN 61543:1995EN 61543:1995/Corrigendum 1:1997EN 61543:1995/A11:2003EN 61543:1995/Corrigendum 2:2004EN 61543:1995/A2:2006EN 61543:1995/A12:2005ISO 7000:19892004/108/ECEN 60269-1:2007IEC 60269-1:2006IEC 62640EN 60664-5EN 60695-2-11:2001EN 60947-1:2007IEC 60947-1:2007EN 60998-1:2004IEC 60998-1:2002EN 60998-2-2:2004IEC 60998-2-2:2002EN 60999IEC 60999IEC/TR 60755:2008ASTM D785-08ASTM B172-01aICEA S-19-81/NEMA WC3ICEA S-66-524/NEMA WC7ICEA S-68-516/NEMA WC8Incorporates the following:Amendment, November 2014.
