This Standard specifies essential safety requirements for residual current devices and residual current relays intended to isolate supply or initiate a 'tripping' signal to isolate supply to protected circuits, socket-outlets or equipment in the event of a current flow to earth, which exceeds a predetermined level, and-(a) have rated residual currents not exceeding 300 mA; (b) have rated load currents not exceeding 125 A a.c.;(c) are designed for use at low voltage; and(d) are classified in accordance with Clause 4.The devices may be fixed or portable or, may be integral with a switching device or miniature overcurrent circuit breaker or, may be supplied as a separate attachment.This Standard does not apply to-(i)devices intended to be used with a particular circuit breaker other than a miniature overcurrent circuit-breaker, as defined in AS/NZS 3111 or AS/NZS 60898.1; or(ii)devices intended to protect an electricity authority distribution system; or(iii)devices for the protection of equipment for mines and covered by the AS/NZS 2081 series of Standards.
