What is BS EN 61557-11 - Effectiveness of residual current monitors (RCMs) test about?
BS EN 61557-11 is a British Standard. BS EN 61557-11 is a part of the IEC 61557 series that specifies the requirements for testing equipment applied to the testing of the effectiveness of residual current monitors (RCMs) of type A and type B. Also, it is already installed in the distribution system. BS EN 61557-11 provides guidelines for safety requirements of electrical measurement and control to manufacturers and users.
This test equipment can be used in any kind of networks like a TN, TT, or IT system. The test equipment may also be used for testing directionally discriminating RCMs in IT-Systems.
Who is BS EN 61557-11 - Effectiveness of residual current monitors (RCMs) test for?
BS EN 61557-11 on effectiveness of residual current monitors (RCMs) test is useful for:
- Manufacturing of earthing electrical system
- Power station
- Renewable energy companies
- Automation and industrial processing controls
- Lighting systems manufacturers
- Electrical appliance manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 61557-11 - Effectiveness of residual current monitors (RCMs) test?
While working with high voltage electricity, it is essential to have electrical safety to avoid electrical mishaps.
BS EN 61557-11 provides a guideline to manufacturers users on how to use general requirements for residual current operated protective devices for optimum usage. When residual current monitors are handled according to the standards provided in BS EN 50290-4-2, it ensures smooth workflow and higher safety to minimize loss of property. Using BS EN 61557-11 best practices guidance, can ensure the safety of user/manufacturer.
