Type-A RCD failing 180 degree ramp test

Former Community Member over 5 years ago

Hi

We are testing a type-A RCD (see image: "ABB") with a METREL MI 3152 (see image: "MI 3152 test").

As the image shows, the ramp test (I delta) is failing to trip the RCD for the negative half wave.

Have oneone seen this before?

Is it actually doing a ramp test?

Don't think so, I think is the RCD tripping time because in the image the results on the instrument are in milliseconds

It is failing the test that is shown as ">1500 mA" on the display. This is a "trip-out current test" (see: Metrel 3152 manual, page 108) The "trip-out test" is described as: "The instrument increases the test current in small steps through appropriate range as follows" see page: 107.

The test stops at 1500 mA, and the test fails
