Residual current-operated protective devices (RCDs) for household and similar use - Electromagnetic compatibility

This document provides specific emission and immunity requirements, tests and performance criteria for residual current-operated protective devices (RCDs), for household and similar use, for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V. Household and similar use corresponds to the description given in the generic standard IEC 61000-6-1 for residential, commercial, and light-industrial electromagnetic environments. This document is intended to be referred to by RCD product standards and is not intended to be used as a standalone document. Residual current-operated protective devices are: - Residual current operated circuit-breakers without integral overcurrent protection for household and similar use (RCCBs) covered by IEC 61008 series and IEC 62423; - Residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar use (RCBOs) covered by IEC 61009 series and IEC 62423; - Residual current devices with or without overcurrent protection for socket-outlets (SRCDs) covered by IEC 62640; - Portable residual current devices without integral overcurrent protection (PRCDs) covered by IEC 61540; - Devices with an RCD functionality for household and similar use according product standards following the group safety publications for general safety requirements for RCDs, IEC 60755. This edition applies if it is referred to as a dated reference in the relevant product standard. This document is also intended to be used as a guideline in the preparation of EMC requirements and tests for other product standards under the scope of SC 23E. It also specifies generic performance criteria intended to be transformed into specific performance criteria by the relevant product standard. Note: Examples of other product standards under the scope of SC 23E are: - IEC 62020-1 "Electrical accessories - Residual current monitors (RCMs) – Part 1: RCMs for household and similar uses"; - IEC 62606 "General requirements for arc fault detection devices"; - IEC 63024 "Requirements for automatic reclosing devices (ARDs) for circuit breakers, RCBOs-RCCBs for household and similar uses"; - IEC 63052 "Power frequency overvoltage protective devices (POPs) for household and similar applications"; - IEC 62752 "In-cable control and protection device for mode 2 charging of electric road vehicles (IC-CPD)"; - IEC 62955 "Residual direct current detecting device (RDC-DD) to be used for mode 3 charging of electric vehicles".

Fehlerstromschutzeinrichtungen (RCDs) für Hausinstallationen und ähnliche Verwendung - Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit

Dispositifs différentiels résiduels (DDR) pour usages domestiques et analogues - Compatibilité électromagnétique

L'IEC 61543:2022 décrit les exigences spécifiques en matière d'émission et d'immunité, ainsi que les essais et critères de performances associés, applicables aux dispositifs différentiels résiduels (DDR) pour usages domestique et analogues, à des tensions assignées inférieures ou égales à 440 V. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1995, l'Amendement 1:2004 et l'Amendement 2:2005. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:  des modifications rédactionnelles ont été introduites afin de se conformer aux Directives ISO/IEC Partie 2:2021, par exemple introduction de l'Article 3 – Termes et définitions, et renumérotation de l'ensemble du document. En particulier, la numérotation des critères de performance a été modifiée (5.1.1, 5.1.2 remplacés par A, B, etc.); améliorations techniques:   modification du domaine d'application et ajout de l'Article 6 et de l'Article 7 afin de permettre l'utilisation du présent document comme ligne directrice pour la préparation des exigences et essais de CEM pour d'autres normes de produit qui relèvent du domaine d'application du SC 23E; ajout d'exigences applicables aux creux et aux coupures de tension; définition d'un taux de répétition de 5 kHz pour l'essai en salves; essai aux ondes de choc: spécification du point d'application de la tension de choc et ajout des tensions 2 kV, 1 kV et 0,5 kV à l'essai T 5b; champ électromagnétique rayonné aux fréquences radioélectriques: ajout de la plage de fréquences 1,4 GHz à 6 GHz et spécification des fréquences pour l'essai à 1,25 IΔn; perturbations conduites en mode commun dans la plage de fréquences de 0 Hz à 150 kHz: spécification des fréquences pour l'essai à 1,25 IΔn; décharges électrostatiques: modification des critères de performance de 5.1.3 à B.
