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

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

  • missed the question. 

    The max non- actuation time for a given over current, is the longest pulse of that level of earth leakage over-current you might apply and be sure you can do so without the trip process ever starting - i.e. without ever passing the point of no return in de-latching. Note that you may be able to pass a larger current for a bit longer and even after the point of no return is reached may take quite a bit longer  for the contacts to be actually open - hence the other figures.

     

    So 

    a 100ma S type  will not de-latch in 130msec at 100mA, but it may at any longer duration, and will always have de-latched and be open cct by 0.5 seconds at that fault current or higher

    it  will not de-latch in 60msec at 200mA, but it may at any longer duration, and will have both de-latched and be open cct within  200ms at that current or higher

    it will not de-latch in 50msec at 500mA, but it may at any longer duration, and will definitely have both de-latched and be open cct within  150ms at that current or higher

    the explanation under the table is poorly worded.
