Regulation 531.3.3 Tripping on:

  • 50Hz sinusoidal AC
  • Pulsating DC
  • Pulsating DC superimposed on smooth DC < 6 mA.

Application Notes:
a) 1 pole + N RCBOs are not suitable for single phase IT systems.
b) Center tapped (CT) transformer supplies for fixed equipment:
Use 2 pole RCCB + 2 pole MCBs. For 110V supplies, use 110v RCCBs.
