--- If only one breakdown occurs, the number of additional shocks is modified to "10 additional shocks can be applied" (see 9:7:5:2);
---Verification of the leakage current between the open contacts has been added to verify the leakage current requirements after the test of 9:12:11:4:4 (see 9:7:5:3);
---Increase the requirement to verify the free trip function; for different trip types of circuit breakers, the upper limit value is for each pole current, and the lower limit value is for
All poles connected in series conduct current (see 9:10:3);
---Add 9:12:11:4:4 "Multi-pole circuit breaker single-pole making and breaking capacity test" in the short-circuit test (see 9:12);
---For circuit breakers with rated voltage of 120V or 120/240V, the resistance of the resistor R'is changed from "7:5ohm" to "0:75ohm"
(See 9:12:9:2);
--- In the resistance to abnormal heat and flame test, the parts that do not need to be tested and the parts where the glow wire cannot be directly applied are added
(See 9:15);
---Updated the short circuit test circuit diagram (see Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5);
---Added the graphic logo in Figure 17 (see Figure 17);
---Updated Appendix B (see Appendix B);
--- 9:15 Abnormal heat resistance and flame resistance test are independent of program A2, update test program B according to the latest 9:7, add E3 multi-pole disconnect
The single-pole making and breaking capacity test of the device (see Appendix C):
