EIC "rated time delay" value for a 61008 type-s

psychicwarrior

good day folks

 

out of interest, if anyone has filled in the “rated time delay” entry on an EIC for a 61008 type-s RCD main switch,  what was the value  (presuming the standard has a set value/range)  used and where from ?

 

regards

Habs

    @zoom  that's the trip time range I believe (of which I was aware) ?   The actual applied time delay is what I was referring to   (see my comment about the figure provided by BG for their device).

     

    I will have another check in Regs.  but I think it might be one of those manufacturer things along side ensuring it all trips out within that specified time range.

     

    The EIC seems to ask for the rated time delay (like one might set on an adjustable unit) … but that's not the same as tripping time range in my mind ( or is it ? ).
