SI 61009 part 1: Residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses (RCBOs): General rules (193 page(s), in English; 7 page(s), in Hebrew)
Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 61009 part 1 dealing with electrical circuit-breakers. This draft standard revision adopts the International Standard IEC 61009-1 Edition 3.2: 2013-09. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
• Complete revision of EMC sequences, including the new test T.2.6, already approved in IEC 61543;
• Clarification of RCDs current/time characteristics reported in Tables 2 and 3;
• Revision of test procedure for IΔn between 5A and 200A;
• Tests for the use of RCBOs in IT systems;
• Testing procedure regarding the 6mA d.c. current superimposed to the fault current;
• Improvement highlighting RCDs with multiple sensitivity;
• Some alignments with IEC 60898-1.
In addition, paragraph 4.4 of the standard's Hebrew section prohibits the use of AC Type overcurrent circuit-breakers with sensitivity of up to 30mA in Israel.
