[PSES] European mains breakers with GFI function

2021-10-04 Thread Ken Javor
Can anyone out there state whether such breakers respond only to mains frequency leakage currents, or whether they can respond to rf? Another way of asking this, are such devices qualified to EN 61000-4-3 and EN 61000-4-6? The breaker rating is 100 A load current, and will trip on 1 A of leakage

Hello from San Diego: Mark Frankfurth asks about GFCI/RCCB trip levels. The trip levels vary as a function of the type of GFCI/RCCB and the region. Here are some comparisons: North America Europe (GFCI)(RCCB)

On the subject of GFI, I note that international specs call out a 30 mA trip level...while I seem to remember that UL did not allow greater than 20 mA trip levels. Could anyone confirm the contradiction and point me to the UL spec that applies?

In all of the discussions of hair-dryer in a tub scenario, no one has discussed the GFI and how it works. It senses the current in both power leads, and if they are not equal, it trips OFF. Thus it assumes that any current flowing between phase/neutral is good, any current in the phase lead not
