Overview
SIST EN 61009-2-1:1996 is a European standard issued by the CLC that specifies requirements for Residual Current Operated Circuit-Breakers with integral Overcurrent protection, commonly known as RCBOs. This particular part 2-1 of the standard addresses RCBOs that are functionally independent of line voltage, designed for household and similar electrical installations. It sets out the applicability of general rules ensuring safety and performance compliance for devices operating at rated voltages up to 440 V AC, rated currents not exceeding 125 A, and rated short-circuit capacities up to 25,000 A at standard frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Key Topics
Functionally Independent RCBOs: The standard covers RCBOs that operate independently of the line voltage, ensuring reliable residual current and overcurrent protection regardless of voltage fluctuations.
Rated Characteristics: Defines devices with rated voltages ≤ 440 V AC, rated currents ≤ 125 A, and short-circuit breaking capacities ≤ 25,000 A.
Household and Similar Uses: Focuses on residential electrical installations and comparable environments where such protective devices are critical for safety.
Overcurrent Protection Integration: Specifies the combination of residual current detection and overcurrent protection within a single device.
Compliance with General Rules: Adapts the general rules from Part 1 of the EN 61009 series to specifically suit the unique functional independence from line voltage in these RCBOs.
Applications
This standard guides manufacturers, electrical designers, and installers in the selection and deployment of RCBOs that provide enhanced safety against electrical faults including earth leakage and overcurrent in household and similar settings.
Typical applications include:
- Protecting circuits in residential homes against electric shock and fire hazards.
- Usage in commercial buildings with similar residential electrical load characteristics.
- Integration in consumer units or distribution boards requiring compact, reliable residual current and overcurrent protection.
- Ensuring compliance with electrical safety regulations combining the features of residual current detection and overcurrent interruption.
