active, Most Current
Organization: CENELEC
Publication Date: 1 December 2021
Status: active
Page Count: 26
ICS Code (Power transmission and distribution networks in general): 29.240.01
ICS Code (Measurement of electrical and magnetic quantities): 17.220.20
ICS Code (Electrical insulation in general): 29.080.01
scope:

This part of IEC 61557 specifies the requirements applicable to measuring equipment for testing the effectiveness of protective measures of residual current devices (RCD) installed in TT, TN and IT systems.

It is not the purpose of this document to verify the RCD according to their product standards.

NOTE Applicable tripping tests for time and current of RCD are listed in Annex A, Table A.1.
