Equipment to automate testing of RCD/RCCB/GFCI's?
(1/4) > >>
Jeroen3:
I'm looking for equipment or a way to automate testing of RCD's (IEC 61009-1 / 62423).
Most formfactors you can get RCD testing in are installation testers, eg: Fluke 1662.
Requiring a human to setup the test, press the button and write down the results.

I'm looking for something that is automated, setup, test and results via software. No user pressing start buttons.
Automation excluding resetting the breaker itself. The reason is to test an entire panel fully automated.

Now there are some companies (like megger and omicron) selling cases for primary injection kits for testing breakers in-circuit. These are also often not automated. Still require a users to press a button and read the result.

Basically what I was trying to avoid was to have to develop my own using an programmable AC/DC source and an oscilloscope. But it looks like nobody need this? You can buy calibrators for them though.
Or is there perhaps some other way to do this I'm not seeing?

sevral multi function testers will run a semi automatic rcd test and store the results,but your still going to have to tell it when to start the test,for example the megger MFT1721 https://uk.megger.com/multifunction-installation-testers-mft1731,-mft1721-and-mft1711

Make sure that the tester can also test B-RCDs!
In our company two years ago, because it was cheaper, a Benning IT115 was purchased which can only test A-RCDs according to specifications.
Now there was before Christmas just another IT130 in addition...

If a mft is overkill maybe the  mega rcdt330

With those devices I need someone to put the knobs in the right mode and press the start button. The exact thing I need to automate.
Imaging attaching an entire distribution board to a big test bench which validates connections and insulation as well as testing the RCD's intalled (normal, time delayed, type B/F).

Many people need a tester for installed panels, but what if you build the panels?
