Residual current operated circuit-breakers for household and similar use – Part 3-2: Particular requirements for RCDs with flat quick-connect terminations (Edition 1.0)
This part of IEC 62873 applies to RCDs equipped with flat quick-connect terminations consisting of a male tab (see 3.2) with nominal width 6@3 mm and thickness 0@8 mm@ to be used with a mating female connector for connecting electrical copper conductors according to the manufacturer's instructions@ for rated currents up to and including 16 A. NOTE The use of RCDS with flat quick-connect terminations for rated currents up to and including 20 A is accepted in BE@ FR@ IT@ ES@ PT and US. This part of IEC 62873 cannot be used alone but is intended to be applied together with an RCD product standard (IEC 61008-1 or IEC 61009-1) if an RCD is equipped with flat quickconnect terminations. The connectable electrical copper conductors are flexible@ having a cross-sectional area up to and including 4 mm2@ or rigid stranded@ having a cross-sectional area up to and including 2@5 mm2 (AWG equal to or greater than 12). This part of IEC 62873 applies exclusively to RCDs having male tabs as an integral part of the device.
