Clause 2.52 ‘Delete this Clause and insert the following: 2.8.2 Selection of devices 2.5.2.1 General ‘Any device for protection against earth-leakage current shall be capable Of interrupting the part of the circuit protected by the device when an ‘earth-leakage current is flowing above a predetermined value. Devices shall be residual current devices (RCDs) complying with ‘AS 3190, ASINZS 3175 or ASINZS 6109.1. The current rating of an RCD shall be not less than the greater of the following: (a) The maximum demand of the portion of the electrical installation being protected by the device. (b) The highost current rating of any overload protective device on the Portion of the electrical installation being protected. NOTES: 1 To avold unwanted tripping due to leakage currents and transient disturbances, care should be taken to ensure that tho sum of the leakage currents of electrical equipment on the load side of an RCD is less than 1/3 of Its rated residual curent. 2 To avoid excessive leakage current causing unwanted tripping where socket: cutlets are protected by one RCD having a rated residual current not greater than 30.mA, consideration should be given to the number of socketoutlets protected and the nature of electrical equipmant likoly to bo connected to the Socket-outets. 2.5.2.2 Type of RCD for New Zealand For New Zealand, in addition to complying with Clause 2.5.2.1, RCDs shall be of a type where tripping is ensured for residual alternating current and residual pulsating direct current. NOTE: RCDs providing operation under a.c. and pulsating d.c. condlions are Classlied a8 Type A in ASINZS 3178 and ASINZS 6109.1.Page 84 Clause 2.5.3.1 ‘Delete this Clause and insert the following: 2.8.3.1 Domestic electrical installations CDs with a maximum rated residual current of 30 mA shall be installed for the protection of the following final subcircuits in domestic electrical installations: (@) Socket-outlets.
