This Standard applies to residual current devices and residual current relays intended to isolate supply or initiate a tripping signal to isolate supply to protected circuits, socket outlets or equipment in the event of a current flow to earth, which exceeds a predetermined level, and;

  • (a) have rated residual currents not exceeding 300 mA;
  • (b) have rated load currents not exceeding 125 A a.c.; and
  • (c) designed for use at low voltage.

The devices may be fixed or portable or, may be integral with a switching device or miniature overcurrent circuit breaker or, may be supplied as a separate attachment.

This Standard does not apply to;
