RCD: TEST ON DIFFERENTIAL SWITCHES
This function is performed in compliance with standard IEC/EN61557-6, BS7671 17th
edition, AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3017 and allows measuring the tripping time and current of
molded case differential switches of type A (
), AC (
) and B (
), being General (G),
Selective (S) and Delayed ( ). The instrument allows performing tests on earth leakage
relay RCDs with currents up to 10A (with optional accessory RCDX10)
CAUTION
Some combinations of test parameters can be not available in compliance with
the technical specification of the instrument and the RCD tables (see § 11.1 –
the empty cells of RCD tables means not available situations)
The following operating connections are available to perforn the RCD test:
CAUTION
Testing the RCD tripping time causes its tripping.
Therefore,
check
that there
are NO users or loads connected downstream of the differential switch
being tested which could be damaged by a system downtime.
Disconnect all loads connected downstream of the differential switch as they
could produce leakage currents further to those produced by the instrument,
thus invalidating the results of the test.
