GB/Z 36281-2018Residual current devices (RCDs) associated with additional function (s) (English PDF)

1 Scope

This guidance document gives the following information that may be used.

--- Dedicated additional features declared by the manufacturer to be assembled with residual current protection appliances (RCDs) that meet household and similar use standards;

--- A specific RCD with built-in additional features that meets household and similar usage standards.

Note 1. The term RCD is a generic term that applies to a family of products that automatically break when the residual current equals or exceeds its rated residual operating current, Ideltan.

This general term is usually applied to the following appliances.

---RCCB residual current operated circuit breaker without overcurrent protection;

---RCBO residual current operated circuit breaker with overcurrent protection;

---SRCD socket type residual current appliances with or without overcurrent protection;

---PRCD Mobile residual current device without overcurrent protection.

This guidance document identifies the applicable test procedures for determining the effects of a particular RCD on a normal function, and the specific RCD declared is appropriate.

Built in or assembled with one or more additional features.

This guidance document can also be used to draft additional requirements for additional functional standards that are expected to be combined with home and similar use RCDs.

This guidance document provides an evaluation-based procedure to clarify the necessary tests to meet the appropriate requirements. If built in

There is no additional test according to this guidance document, as the additional functions in the RCD are evaluated without damaging the RCD.

Multiple additional features can be combined with one or more RCDs to check for the most severe combinations.

This guidance document does not apply to the following situations.

--- Existing standards clearly specify additional features in combination with home and similar use RCDs;

Note 2. An example of an additional function appliance with a separate product standard is an auxiliary contact assembly in accordance with GB/T 20640.

---Additional functions combined with RCD for connection purposes;

Note 3. An example of an additional function for achieving the connection purpose is the connection between the RCCB and the CB.

---Locking device.
