IEC 62873-3-1-2020 Residual current operated circuit-breakers for household and similar use – Part 3-1: Particular requirements for devices with screwless-type terminals for external copper conductors. This document applies to devices equipped with screwless-type terminals for current not exceeding 40 A, primarily suitable for connecting unprepared copper conductors of cross-section up to 1 0 mm 2 . This document cannot be used alone but is intended to be applied together with the applicable product standard in which it is referred to. NOTE 1 In CZ, DK, NL, PO and CH, the upper limit of current for use of screwless-type terminals is 1 6 A. NOTE 2 In JP, the upper limit of current for use of screwless-type terminals is 30 A. NOTE 3 The manufacturer can declare in its documentation specific conditions permitting the use of prepared conductors. In this document, screwless-type terminals are referred to as terminals, and copper conductors are referred to as conductors. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
