GB16916.1—1997
idt IEC 1008-1:1990
This part includes the definitions, technical requirements and tests of all types of RCCBs. For specific types, this section shall apply together with the following relevant parts: bzxZ.net
Part 2.1: Applicability of general rules to RCCBs whose operating functions are independent of line voltage. Part 2.2: Applicability of general rules to RCCBs whose operating functions are dependent on line voltage. 1 Scope of application
This standard applies to products with AC rated voltage not exceeding 440V, rated current not exceeding 125A, whose operating function is independent of or related to the line voltage, and which are mainly used for household or similar purposes for electric shock hazard protection. Residual current operated circuit breaker without overcurrent protection (hereinafter referred to as RCCB).
These devices are intended primarily for indirect human contact protection. The exposed conductive parts of the equipment are connected to a suitable earth electrode. They may also be used to provide protection against fire hazards caused by ground fault currents that persist due to the failure of overcurrent protective devices to operate. RCCBs with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA can also be used as supplementary protection measures when electric shock protection measures fail. This standard is applicable to devices that can simultaneously perform functions such as detecting residual current, comparing the residual current value with the residual operating current value, and disconnecting the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds the residual operating current value. Note
1 The technical requirements of RCCB comply with the general requirements of IEC755. RCCB is mainly used by non-professionals and does not require maintenance. They can be submitted for certification. 2IEC364 gives the installation and use regulations of RCCB. 3RCCBs within the scope of this standard are suitable for use 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 4: For RCCBs with protection levels higher than IP20, special structures may be required. The following products must be supplemented with special requirements: residual current-operated circuit breakers with overcurrent protection (see GB16917) RCCBs installed into household and similar general-purpose plugs, sockets or appliance connectors or RCCBs specially used in combination with them.
Note 5: Currently, for RCCBs installed in plugs and sockets or RCCBs dedicated to plugs and sockets, the technical requirements of this standard can be used together with GB2099.1 (when applicable).
