Notes:
The autotest sequence is immediately stopped if any incorrect condition is detected,
e.g. excessive Uc or trip-out time out of bounds.
Auto test is finished without x5 tests in case of testing the RCD type A with rated
residual currents of I
n = 300 mA, 500 mA, and 1000 mA. In this case auto test
result passes if all other results pass, and indications for x5 are omitted.
Tests for sensitivity (I
, steps 7 and 8) are omitted for selective type RCD.
