25、7-1 and the following definitions apply. 3.1 fault current I current flowing to earth due to an insulation fault 5 EN 61557-6:2007 3.2 rated residual operating current INfault current for which the residual current protective device is designed 3.3 residual operating current Iafault current at which

26、 the residual current protective device is activated 3.4 test resistance Rpresistance by means of which a fault current for test purposes is produced 3.5 total earthing resistance RAresistance between the main earthing terminal and the earth IEV 826-04-031) 4 Requirements The following requirements

27、as well as those given in IEC 61557-1 shall apply. 4.1 Tests 4.1.1 Tripping tests The measuring equipment shall be capable of indicating that the residual operating current of the protective device is less than or equal to the rated residual operating current. The tests shall be carried out with a s

28、inusoidal, or mains-derived quasi sinusoidal test current. The operating uncertainty of the calibrated test currents shall not exceed 0 % to +10 % of the rated residual current with the rated residual operating current as fiducial value determined in accordance with Table 1. The operating uncertaint

29、y of measurement of the residual operating current shall not exceed 10 % of the rated residual operating current as fiducial value determined in accordance with Table 1. If the measuring equipment is provided for the purpose of testing residual current protective devices of 30 mA or below, installed

30、 for supplementary protection, the measuring equipment shall be capable of providing a test of five times the rated residual operating current. The test period shall be limited to 40 ms. When measuring the trip time, this limit of test period need not be applied so long as the fault voltage remains

31、below the touch voltage limit. If the measuring equipment is capable of producing half-wave test currents, testing of residual current protective devices (RCDs) Type A may alternatively be carried out using half-wave test currents according to the IEC 61008 and IEC 61009 series, IEC 60947-2 and IEC/

32、TR 60755. In this case test equipment shall be able to test in both polarities. 1)IEC 60050-826:1982, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary Part 826: Electrical installations of buildings (withdrawn and superseded by IEC 60050-826:2004, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary Part 826: Electri

36、 Non-tripping tests When a test at 50 % or less of the rated residual operating current to test the reliability of the RCD is included, the minimum test period for general type RCDs shall be 0,3 s and for type S RCDs it shall be 0,5 s. The protective device shall not open. When a no trip test at 50

37、% or less of the rated residual operating current is included, the operating uncertainty of the calibrated test current shall not exceed 0 % to 10 % of the specified no tripping test current in accordance with Table 1. NOTE If the purpose of the test is to evaluate other parameters (e.g. fault volta

38、ge) the minimum test period may be shorter but not less than one cycle of the rated frequency. 4.2 The measuring equipment shall be capable of indicating whether the fault voltage at the rated residual current of the protective device is less than or equal to the conventional touch voltage limit. Th

39、e test may be carried out with or without a probe. NOTE Indication can be by displaying the value of the fault voltage or by the use of other clear indicators. 4.2.1 If a fault voltage is displayed or indicated for the residual operating current and not for the rated residual current, this shall be

40、indicated in the display or on the measuring equipment, or calculated according to the following formulae. The following condition shall be fulfilled: NIILFUU where 7 EN 61557-6:2007 ULis the conventional touch voltage limit. 4.2.2 The operating uncertainty during the measurement of the fault voltag

41、e shall not exceed 0 % to +20 % with the conventional touch voltage limit as fiducial value, determined in accordance with Table 1. NOTE The internal resistance of the voltage measuring equipment should be at least 0,7 k/V of the full-scale value of the measurement range. The influence of the voltag

42、e measurement on the measurement of the fault current should be taken into consideration. 4.3 The measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring the trip time of residual current protective devices at the rated residual operating current or shall be capable of indicating the compliance with the m

43、aximum allowed trip time. When measuring the trip time, the operating uncertainty shall not exceed 10 % with the maximum permissible trip time as fiducial value and the influence quantities according to Table 1. 4.4 On measuring equipment with indicators, the switching value of the indicators shall

44、be the conventional true value for the calculation of uncertainties, provided nothing to the contrary is stated. 4.5 The operating uncertainty applies under the rated operating conditions stated in IEC 61557-1 and the following: the protective conductor is free from extraneous voltages; the system v

45、oltage remains constant during the measurement; the circuit following the residual current protective device carries no leakage current; the system voltage is within 85 % to 110 % of the nominal system voltage for which the equipment has been designed; the resistance of the probes is within the limi

46、ts stated by the manufacturer; sinusoidal test current. 4.6 When testing with the rated residual operating current, the following conditions shall be met: the current shall be switched on at a zero crossing; the test period shall be limited to the maximum allowed trip time of the residual current pr

47、otective device under test. When measuring the trip time, these limits of the test periods need not be applied. 4.7 Prevention of danger during measurements by fault voltages exceeding 50 V within the system under test shall be ensured. This can be achieved as follows: automatic disconnection in acc

48、ordance with Figure 1 of IEC 61010-1 when fault voltages with a magnitude 50 V occur; use of test resistances Rpadjustable in steps, or continuously, in such a manner that the test is started with a resistance that permits current of a maximum of 3,5 mA to flow when all parallel-connected circuits a

49、re included. An unambiguous detection shall be ensured, for example by means of a voltmeter, as to whether this test resistance can be varied without producing a hazardous fault voltage. 4.8 The user shall not be exposed to danger and the equipment shall not be damaged when the measuring equipment is connected to 120 % of the nominal voltage of the distribution system for which the measuring equipment has been designed.
