BIS CERTIFICATION FOR RESIDUAL CURRENT OPERATED CIRCUIT BREAKERS IS 12640 (PART 1):2016

RCCB stands for "Residual Current Circuit Breaker." It is an electrical device designed to protect people and property from the dangers of electrical faults, specifically from electrical leakage currents. RCCBs are an important safety component in electrical systems and are commonly used in homes, buildings, and industrial settings.

If the safety measures against electric shocks don't work, RCCBs with a current rating of less than 30 mA can provide extra protection. There are specific rules and standards that say how they should be built and how they should work.

This rule is for special switches used in houses and similar places. These switches are like safety guards that protect us from electric shocks. They work for electricity up to a certain strength and are not like the regular switches you use. They are not supposed to be too big and can handle electricity up to 440 volts. Their main job is to keep us safe from getting shocked.

The tests listed in the rules help us make sure everything is as it should be. Another type of circuit breaker called "RCBO" has to be strong and safe too. When there's too much or too little power, it should still work safely and properly. We check all this using the tests mentioned in the rules.

MANDATORY TESTING

Tests shall be carried out in accordance with the standard.

·       Tripping Test

·       Electric Strength Test

·       Performance of the test device

·       Indelibility of Marking

·       Clearance & Creepage distance

·       Trip-free mechanism

·       Reliability of screws, current-carrying parts, and connections

·       Reliability of terminals for external conductors

·       Protection against electric shock and other tests
