26 This document is read in conjunction with prEN IEC 61009-2-1:2026.
27 This document includes the following significant technical modifications with respect to
28 prEN IEC 61009-2-1:2026:
29 — Only the essential common changes existing in EN 61009-2-1:1994 and all of its amendments and
30 corrigenda (if any) are maintained in this document.
32 1 Modification to 9.9.1.1, “Test circuit and test procedure”
33 Delete the last paragraph
34 2 Modification to 9.15.1, “General test conditions”
35 Delete the 2nd paragraph.
36 3 Addition of 9.Z1, “Verification of the correct operation at low ambient air
37 temperatures for RCBOs for use at temperatures between −25 °C and +40 °C”
38 Add the following subclause:
39 “9.Z1 Verification of the correct operation at low ambient air temperatures for RCBOs for use at
40 temperatures between −25 °C and +40 °C
41 Enclosed-type RCBOs are tested in their enclosure, unenclosed-type RCBOs are mounted in an individual
42 enclosure with a degree of protection IP55, and are connected as for normal use (see Figure 2).
43 No drain hole in the enclosure shall be opened for this test.
44 NOTE RCBOs tested in enclosures IP55 are suitable to be used in enclosures of a degree of protection other than
45 IP55 within the temperature range of –25 °C to +40 °C.
46 The RCBO (including the enclosure) is brought into a suitable test chamber with an ambient air temperature of
47 (23 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity of (93 ± 3) %. The volume ratio of the test chamber to the test samples
48 (including enclosures) shall be greater than 50.
49 The RCBO is in the ON-position without load and shall be subjected to the following cycle (see Figure Z6).
50 For the first 6 h (stabilization period) the temperature is kept at (23 ± 2) °C and the humidity at (93 ± 3) %.
51 Within the next 6 h the ambient air temperature is decreased to (−25 ± 2) °C without any supply of humidity.
52 This temperature of (−25 ± 2) °C is kept for 6 h. Within the next 6 h the temperature is increased to (+
53 23 ± 2) °C and the relative humidity is increased to (93 ± 3) % (end of the first cycle). This cycle is performed
54 five times.
55 During these cycles the RCBO shall not trip.
56 During the fifth cycle, at the end of the period at (−25 ± 2) °C, an AC residual current is passed through one
57 pole of the RCBO (see Figure 2)
