This document applies to devices for power frequency overvoltage protection (hereafter referred to as "POP") for household and similar uses, with a rated frequency of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz, with rated voltage not exceeding 230 V AC (between phase and neutral), and with rated current not exceeding 63 A, either consisting of a functional unit in combination with a main protective device (MPD), or as one single device having opening means able to open the protected circuit in specified conditions. The main protective device is a circuit-breaker, an RCCB or an RCBO. NOTE 1 A POP, as one single device, is not a protective device to be used for automatic disconnection of the supply within the meaning specified in IEC 60364-4-41. POPs are intended for use in an environment with pollution degree 2 and overvoltage category III. Devices for POPs are suitable for isolation. POPs can be designed as a POP unit assembled to or integrated in a main protective device by the manufacturer or as an assembly of a main protective device mechanically or electrically coupled on site with the POP unit, or as one single POP having opening means able to open the protected circuit in specified conditions. POPs are intended to mitigate the effects of power frequency overvoltages between a phase and neutral conductor (e.g. caused by loss of a neutral conductor in the three-phase supply upstream of the POP) for downstream equipment by opening the protected circuit when an overvoltage between phase and neutral is detected. NOTE 2 In this context, the verb "mitigate" means that the POP will provide protection in most cases of power frequency overvoltages. POPs intended for monitoring one line-to-neutral conductor voltage can be used between two-phase conductors in a phase-to-phase electrical supply system not exceeding 230 V if both conductors are switched and declared as such by the manufacturer. POPs according to this document are suitable for use in an IT system provided all active conductors are switched. This document does not apply to protection against common mode overvoltages. This document does not apply to surge protective devices.

This standard gives additional requirements for single- and two-pole circuit-breakers which, in
addition to the above characteristics, are suitable for operation with direct current, and have a
rated DC voltage not exceeding 220 V for single-pole and 440 V for two-pole circuit-breakers,
a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated DC short-circuit capacity not exceeding
10 000 A.
NOTE This standard applies to circuit-breakers able to make and break both alternating current and direct
current.

This document applies to residual current monitors for household and similar purposes,
having rated operational voltages and a rated voltage of the monitored circuit not exceeding
440 V AC and rated currents not exceeding 125 A.
NOTE 1 The standard for residual current monitors having rated operational voltages and a rated voltage of the
monitored circuit exceeding 440 V AC is in preparation, as IEC 62020-2.
RCMs are intended to monitor the residual current of the installation and to give a warning if
the residual current between a live part and an exposed conductive part or earth exceeds a
predetermined level.
RCMs covered by this document are not intended to be used as protective devices.
RCMs detect residual currents circulating in an AC circuit (e.g. residual alternating current,
residual pulsating direct current, residual smooth direct current), whether suddenly applied or
slowly rising.
NOTE 2 RCMs for DC systems are under consideration.
This document applies to monitors performing simultaneously the functions of detection of the
residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating current
of the device and providing the specified warning signal(s) when the residual current exceeds
this value.
RCMs supplied by internal batteries are not covered by this document.
The requirements of this document apply for standard conditions (see 7.1). Additional
requirements can be necessary for RCMs used in locations having severe environmental
conditions.
RCMs are intended for use in an environment with pollution degree 2 and overvoltage
category III. For an environment with a higher pollution degree, enclosures giving the
appropriate degree of protection are used.
RCMs in compliance with this document are suitable for use in TN, TT, and IT systems.
This document does not cover Insulation Monitoring Devices (IMDs), which are covered by the
scope of IEC 61557-8.
NOTE 3 An RCM is distinguished from an IMD in that it is passive in its monitoring function and only responds to
an unbalanced fault current in the installation being monitored. An IMD is active in its monitoring and measuring
functions in that it can measure the balanced and unbalanced insulation resistance or impedance in the installation
(see IEC 61557-8).

This document is applicable to mechanical switching devices designed as "circuit-breakers for equipment" (CBE) for household and similar applications. CBEs according to this document are intended to provide protection to circuits within electrical equipment including its components (e.g. motors, transformers, internal wiring). This document covers also CBEs applicable for protection of electrical equipment in case of undervoltage and/or overvoltage. This document also covers CBEs which are suitable for isolation. CBEs are not applicable for overcurrent protection of wiring installations of buildings. CBEs according to this document have: - a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V AC (between phases) and/or DC not exceeding 250 V; - a rated current not exceeding 125 A; - a short-circuit capacity (Icn) of at least 6 × In (AC types) and 4 × In (DC types) but not exceeding 3 000 A. CBEs may have a conditional short-circuit current (Inc) rating in association with a specified short-circuit protective device (SCPD). A guide for coordination of a CBE associated in the same circuit with a SCPD is given in Annex F. For CBEs having a degree of protection higher than IP20 according to IEC 60529, for use in locations where hazardous environmental conditions prevail (e.g. excessive humidity, heat or cold or deposition of dust) and in hazardous locations (e.g. where explosions are liable to occur), special constructions may be required. This document contains all the requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the operational characteristics required for these devices by type tests. It also contains the details relative to test requirements and methods of testing necessary to ensure reproducibility of test results. This document states: a) the characteristics of CBEs; b) the conditions with which CBEs shall comply, with reference to: 1) their operation and behaviour in normal service; 2) their operation and behaviour in case of overload; 3) their operation and behaviour in case of short-circuits up to their rated short-circuit capacity; 4) their dielectric properties; c) the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met and the methods to be adopted for the tests; d) the data to be marked on the devices; e) the test sequences to be carried out and the number of samples to be submitted for certification purposes (see Annex C); f) the routine tests to be carried out to reveal unacceptable variations in material or manufacture, likely to affect safety (see Annex I).
