Earth leakage switches without overcurrent protection, independent of voltage

PE N° 3/06 2018, Proyecto de Protocolo de Análisis y/o Ensayos de Seguridad de Producto Eléctrico (PE No. 3/06 2018: Draft safety analysis and/or test protocol for electrical products) (11 pages, in Spanish)

The notified Protocol applies to earth leakage switches which are functionally independent of line voltage, for household and similar use, not incorporating overcurrent protection, for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c. and rated currents not exceeding 125 A, intended principally for protection against electric shock hazard, and which operate in 50Hz systems.

The scope includes both one- and three-phase earth leakage switches, and therefore those with two, three or four poles. The earth leakage switches referred to in this standard are intended for use in environments that are pollution degree two and overvoltage category III.
