Appendix 5. Inspection procedure RCD performance in the electrical circuit of the building

To test the performance of RCD in the electrical circuit of the building is necessary to use a special device - ASTRO * TEST.

This device allows you to determine the presence of the electrical circuit protective conductor PE and reliability of its connection to the earth.

The device ASTRO * TEST simulates flow limited in time (up to 200ms) leakage current set value equal to the rated residual operating current of the RCD.

The device allows ASTRO * TEST to verify complex electrical safety measures - serviceability of protective conductor PE, the right choice of settings RCD, RCD selectivity of action with a multi-stage protection system, the reliability of the terminal connections, etc. in electrical systems.

The device ASTRO * TEST due to a time limit (up to 200 ms) test current flow ensures complete electrical safety of the personnel performing the tests (Fig. Section 5.1).
