Residual current operated circuit-breakers without integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses (RCCBs) - Part 1: General rules
IEC 61008-1:2010 applies to residual current operated circuit-breakers functionally independent of, or functionally dependent on, line voltage, for household and similar uses, not incorporating overcurrent protection (hereafter referred to as RCCBs), for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c. with rated frequencies of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz and rated currents not exceeding 125 A, intended principally for protection against shock hazard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1996, amendment 1 (2002) and amendment 2 (2006). This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - complete revision of EMC sequences, including the new test T.2.6 already approved in IEC 61543; - clarification of RCDs current/time characteristics reported in Tables 1 and 2; - revision of test procedure for IΔn between 5 A and 200 A; - testing procedure regarding the 6mA d.c. current superimposed to the fault current; - improvement highlighting RCDs with multiple sensitivity; - tests for the use of RCCBs in IT systems.

Interrupteurs automatiques à courant différentiel résiduel sans dispositif de protection contre les surintensités incorporé pour usages domestiques et analogues (ID) - Partie 1: Règles générales
La CEI 61008-1:2010 s'applique aux interrupteurs automatiques à courant différentiel résiduel fonctionnellement indépendants ou fonctionnellement dépendants de la tension d'alimentation, pour usages domestiques et analogues sans dispositif de protection contre les surintensités incorporé (en abrégé 'ID' dans la suite du texte), de tension assignée ne dépassant pas 440 V alternatifs, avec des fréquences assignées de 50 Hz, 60 Hz ou 50/60 Hz et de courant assigné ne dépassant pas 125 A, principalement destinés à la protection contre les chocs électriques. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition, publiée en 1996, ainsi que l'amendement 1 (2002) et l'amendement 2 (2006). Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - révision complète des séquences CEM, incluant le nouvel essai T.2.6, déjà approuvé dans la CEI 61543; - clarification des caractéristiques courant/temps des DDR incluses dans les Tableaux 1 et 2; - révision de la procédure d'essai pour IΔn entre 5 A et 200 A; - procédure d'essai concernant le courant continu 6 mA superposé au courant de défaut; - des améliorations mettant en relief les DDR avec sensibilité multiple; - essais pour l'emploi des ID dans les systèmes IT.
Odklopniki na preostali (residualni) tok brez vgrajene nadtokovne zaščite za gospodinjsko in podobno rabo (RCCB's) - 1. del: Splošna pravila (IEC 61008-1:2010, spremenjen)
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za odklopnike na preostali (residualni) tok, ki so funkcionalno neodvisni ali odvisni od linijske napetosti, za gospodinjsko in podobno rabo, brez vgrajene nadtokovne zaščite (v nadaljnjem besedilu: RCCB), za nazivne napetosti do vključno 440 V izmenične napetosti, pri čemer nazivna frekvenca dosega 50 Hz, 60 Hz ali 50/60 Hz in nazivni tok ne presega 125 A, in so namenjeni predvsem zaščiti pred električnim udarom. Te naprave so namenjene zaščiti oseb pred posrednim stikom, pri čemer so izpostavljeni prevodni deli inštalacije povezani z ustreznim ozemljilom. Uporabljajo se lahko za zaščito pred požarom zaradi stalnega ozemljitvenega okvarnega toka brez naprave za nadtokovno zaščito. Tudi odklopniki na preostali (residualni) tok (RCBB) z nazivnim preostalim obratovalnim tokom do vključno 30 mA se uporabljajo kot dodatna zaščita v primeru odpovedi zaščitnega sredstva pred električnim udarom. Ta standard se uporablja za naprave, ki hkrati izvajajo funkcije zaznavanja preostalega (residualnega) toka, primerjanja vrednosti tega toka s preostalo obratovalno vrednostjo in odprtja zaščitenega tokokroga, kadar preostali tok preseže to vrednost. Odklopniki RCCB so namenjeni uporabi v okolju s stopnjo onesnaženja 2. Primerni so za izolacijo. Odklopniki RCCB, ki so skladni s tem standardom, razen odklopnikov z neprekinjeno nevtralno točko, so primerni za uporabo v sistemih IT. Posebni zaščitni ukrepi (npr. prenapetostni odvodniki) so lahko potrebni, kadar lahko na strani dobave nastane prekomerna prenapetost (na primer v primeru dobave prek nadzemnih vodov) (glejte standard 60364-4-44). Odklopniki RCCB splošnega tipa se ne morejo po nesreči odklopiti, tudi kadar previsoka napetost (zaradi prehodnih preklapljanj ali udara strele) povzroči obremenilne tokove v inštalaciji brez nastanka preboja. Odporniki RCCB tipa S naj bi v zadostni meri ščitili pred neželenim odklopom, celo kadar previsoka napetost povzroči preboj in nastane nadaljnji tok. Posebne zahteve so potrebne za: – odklopnike na preostali (residualni) tok z vgrajeno nadtokovno zaščito (glejte standard IEC 61009-1); – odklopnike RCCB, vgrajene v vtiče ali namenjene le uporabi z vtiči in vtičnicami ali s spojkami naprav za gospodinjsko ali podobno splošno rabo; – odpornike RCCB, namenjene uporabi pri frekvencah, ki niso 50 Hz ali 60 Hz. Zahteve tega standarda se uporabljajo za običajne okoljske pogoje (glejte točko 7.1). Dodatne zahteve so lahko potrebne za odklopnike RCCB, ki se uporabljajo na lokacijah z neugodnimi okoljskimi pogoji. Ta standard ne zajema odklopnikov RCCB z akumulatorji.

6.Z1 Standard marking
Each RCCB shall be marked in a durable manner according to the following Table Z3.
If a degree of protection higher than IP20 according to EN 60529 is marked on the
device, it shall comply with it, whichever the method of installation. If the higher
degree of protection is obtained only by a specific method of installation and/or with
the use of specific accessories (e.g. terminal covers, enclosures, etc.), this shall be
specified in the manufacturer's literature.
The manufacturer shall state the Joule integral I2t and the peak current Ip withstand
capabilities of the RCCB. Where these are not stated, minimum values as given in
Table 15 apply.
The manufacturer shall give the reference of one or more suitable SCPDs in his
catalogues and in a sheet accompanying each RCCB.
For RCCBs classified according to 4.1.2.1 and opening with delay in case of failure of
the line voltage the manufacturer shall state the range of such delay.
For RCCBs other than those operated by means of push-buttons the open position
shall be indicated by the symbol "O" and the closed position by the symbol "I" (a short
straight line). Additional national symbols for this indication are allowed. Provisionally
the use of national indications only is allowed. These indications shall be readily
Clause Common modification
visible when the RCCB is installed.
For RCCBs operated by means of two push-buttons, the push-button designed for the
opening operation only shall be RED and/or be marked with the symbol "O".
Red shall not be used for any other push-button of the RCCB. If a push-button is used
for closing the contact and is evidently identified as such, its depressed position is
sufficient to indicate the closed position.
If a single push-button is used for closing and opening the contacts and is identified
as such, the button remaining in its depressed position is sufficient to indicate the
closed position. On the other hand, if the button does not remain depressed, an
additional means indicating the position of the contacts shall be provided.
If it is necessary to distinguish between the supply and the load terminals, they shall
be clearly marked (e.g. by "line" and "load" placed near the corresponding terminals
or by arrows indicating the direction of power flow).
Terminals exclusively intended for the connection of the neutral circuit shall be
indicated by the letter N.
Terminals intended for the protective conductor, if any, shall be indicated by the
symbol (IEC 60417-5019 a)).
NOTE The symbol (IEC 60417-5017 a)), previously recommended, shall be
progressively superseded by the preferred symbol IEC 60417-5019 a), given above.
The suitability for isolation, which is provided by all RCCBs of this standard, may be
indicated by the symbol on the device. When affixed, this marking
may be included in a wiring diagram, where it may be combined with symbols of
other functions, (e.g. other symbols of IEC TC 3). When the symbol is used on its own (i.e.
not in a wiring diagram), combination with symbols of other functions is not allowed.
The base for plug-in RCCBs shall be marked with the following:
- rated current or maximum rated current;
- trade mark.
