EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61008-2 testing. This International standard applies to functionally independent RCCBs with rated voltages not exceeding 440 V AC, without surge protection for household and similar use, and rated currents not exceeding 125 A, mainly for protection against electric shock hazard. .
IEC EN 61008-2 is a technical standard that specifies the general rules applicable to Residual Current Operated Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) that are functionally independent of line voltage without integrated overcurrent protection for household and similar uses.
RCCBs are electrical safety devices designed to protect people and property against electric shocks and fires caused by ground faults. They are used to detect and interrupt electrical circuits in case of earth fault in electrical installations.
The IEC EN 61008-2 standard specifies the requirements for line voltage independent RCCBs. This includes construction, performance, testing and safety requirements. It also includes requirements for marking and documenting RCCBs.
The standard states that RCCBs must comply with the general rules for electrical equipment set out in IEC 60335-1. This includes requirements for protection against electric shock, protection against thermal and mechanical hazards, and protection against fire and explosion.
In addition to the general rules, the standard specifies special requirements for RCCBs such as maximum residual current value, minimum tripping time and minimum withstand voltage.
