This part includes the definitions, technical requirements and tests of all types of RCBO. For specific types, this section should be used together with the following relevant sections.
Part GB16917.21: Applicability of general rules to RCBOs whose operating functions are independent of line voltage. Part GB16917.22: Applicability of general rules to RCBOs whose operating functions are related to line voltage. 1 Scope of application
This standard is applicable to household or household appliances with AC 50Hz or 60Hz, rated voltage not exceeding 440V, rated current not exceeding 125A, rated short-circuit capacity not exceeding 25000A, and operating functions independent of or related to line voltage. Residual current operated circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (hereinafter referred to as RCBO) for similar purposes. These devices are used to protect persons from indirect contact, connect exposed conductive parts of equipment to a suitable earth electrode, and provide overcurrent protection for wiring equipment in buildings and similar purposes. They also provide protection against fire hazards caused by ground fault currents that persist due to the failure of overcurrent protective devices to operate. RCBO with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA can also be used as a supplementary protection measure when electric shock protection measures fail. This standard applies to devices that can simultaneously detect residual current, compare the residual current value with the residual operating current value, and disconnect the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value. The device can also make, carry and break overcurrents under specified conditions. Note
1 The content of this standard regarding operation under residual current conditions is based on GB16916.1. The content of this standard on overcurrent protection is based on GB10963. 2RCBOs are mainly used by non-professionals and do not require maintenance. They can be submitted for certification. 3IEC364 gives the installation and use procedures of RCBO. 4 RCBOs within the scope of this standard are suitable as isolators (see 8.1.3). When excessive overvoltage is prone to occur on the power supply side (for example, the power supply is introduced through overhead lines), special protective measures may have to be taken (for example, the use of lightning arresters) (see IEC364-4-443). Note: For RCBOs with protection levels higher than IP20, special structures may be required. This standard also applies to RCBOs assembled from general-purpose residual current devices and circuit breakers. The mechanical assembly can be completed by the manufacturer in the factory or on site. In this case, the requirements of Appendix G apply. For RCBOs with more than one rated current, as long as the rated current of the State Bureau of Technical Supervision approved on 1997-06-28 and implemented on 1998-09-01 | This standard also applies if the means for changing to another value are inaccessible and the rated value cannot be changed without the use of tools.
Necessary technical requirements can be supplemented for plug-in RCBO. Special technical requirements must be attached to RCBOs that are incorporated into household and similar general-purpose plugs, sockets or appliance connectors or that are specifically used in combination with them.
Note: Currently, for RCBOs built into plugs and sockets or RCBOs dedicated to plugs and sockets, the technical requirements of this standard can be used together with GB2099.1 (when applicable).
This standard does not apply to:
RCBO used for motor protection;
RCBO with a fixed current value that can be adjusted by the user during use. The technical requirements of this standard apply to normal environmental conditions (see 7.1). For RCBO used in areas with severe conditions, necessary technical requirements can be added.
RCBOs using batteries are not included in the scope of this standard. Appendix F gives guidelines for the cooperation of RCBOs and fuses. 2 Reference standardswwW.bzxz.Net
