IEC 62640:2011 Residual current devices with or without overcurrent protection for socket-outlets for household and similar uses

IEC 62640:2011 specifies requirements for residual current devices (RCDs) with or without overcurrent protection intended for household and similar applications. These devices are designed to provide protection against electric shock, fire hazards, and excessive residual currents by disconnecting the circuit when leakage currents exceed specified thresholds. The standard covers performance characteristics, testing procedures, and installation guidelines to ensure safety and reliability in various operating conditions.

Additionally, IEC 62640:2011 outlines the classification, marking, and functional aspects of these devices, including parameters such as rated voltage, current, and tripping characteristics. It also defines mechanical and electrical endurance requirements, ensuring that RCDs maintain effectiveness over time. The standard applies to socket-outlet-type devices used in residential, commercial, and similar environments, providing guidance for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities.
