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

As long as it is slower than say 40mS
Perhaps because a 30mA RCD might take 150ms to trip at 100mA (according to table 3A) - it's only guaranteed to hit 40ms at 150mA.

I have yet to find a good working 30mA R.C.D. that trips at more than approx. 30mS even at 30mA test current. They all turn off well within 40mS even at 30mA test current.
I like the Wylex WRS80/2. They are extremely reliable and of very good build quality.
