General requirements for arc fault detection devices (IEC 62606:2013, modified); German version EN 62606:2013

Title (German)

Allgemeine Anforderungen an Fehlerlichtbogen-Schutzeinrichtungen (IEC 62606:2013, modifiziert); Deutsche Fassung EN 62606:2013

Overview

This International Standard applies to arc fault detection devices (AFDD) for household and similar uses in a.c. circuits. This International Standard applies to devices performing simultaneously the detection and discrimination of arcing current with regards to fire hazards and defines operating criteria under specified conditions for the opening of the circuit when the arcing current exceeds the limit values given in this standard. The integrated protection device is either a circuit-breaker in accordance with IEC 60898-1 or an RCD in accordance with IEC 61008-1, IEC 61009-1 or IEC 62423. The devices are intended to mitigate the risk of fire in final circuits of a fixed installation due to the effect of arc fault currents that pose a risk of fire ignition under certain conditions if the arcing persists. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 541.3 "Fehlerstrom-Schutzeinrichtungen" ("Residual current devices") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
