Type F and type B residual current operated circuit-breakers with and without integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses (IEC 62423:2009, modified + corrigendum Dec. 2011); German version EN 62423:2012
Fehlerstrom-/Differenzstrom-Schutzschalter Typ F und Typ B mit und ohne eingebautem Überstromschutz für Hausinstallationen und für ähnliche Anwendungen (IEC 62423:2009, modifiziert + corrigendum Dez. 2011); Deutsche Fassung EN 62423:2012
Overview
This standard specifies requirements and tests for Type F and Type B RCDs (Residual current devices). Requirements and tests given in this standard are in addition to the requirements of Type A. This standard shall only be used together with IEC 61008-1 and IEC 61009-1. Type F RCCBs (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) and Type F RCBOs (Residual current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection) with rated frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz are intended for installations when frequency inverters are supplied between phase and neutral or phase and earthed middle conductor and are able to provide protection in case of alternating residual sinusoidal at the rated frequency, pulsating direct residual currents and composite residual currents that may occur. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 541.3 "Fehlerstrom-Schutzeinrichtungen" ("Residual current devices") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
