prEN 62423

Type B residual current operated circuit-breakers with and without integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses

Scope

The scope of IEC 61008-1 and IEC 61009-1 applies. This standard specifies requirements and tests for type B RCDs. Requirements and tests given in this standard are in addition to the requirements of type A residual current devices. Type B RCCBs and Type B RCBOs are able to provide protection in case of alternating residual sinusoidal currents up to 1 000 Hz, pulsating direct residual currents and smooth direct residual currents in case of three phase supply.
