5.4 Testing RCDs
Various test and measurements are required for verification of RCD(s) in RCD protected
installations. Measurements are based on the EN 61557-6 standard.
The following measurements and tests (sub-functions) can be performed:
Contact voltage,
Trip-out time,
Trip-out current,
RCD autotest.
See chapter 4.1 Function selection for instructions on
key functionality.
Test parameters for RCD test and measurement

Notes:
Ulim can be selected in the Uc sub-function only.
Selective (time delayed) RCDs have delayed response characteristics. As the
contact voltage pre-test or other RCD tests influence the time delayed RCD it
takes a certain period to recover into normal state. Therefore a time delay of 30 s
is inserted before performing trip-out test by default.
