    The document discusses surge protection devices (SPDs) and residual current devices (RCDs), noting that SPDs installed before RCDs prevent tripping from overvoltages, while SPDs after RCDs could cause nuisance tripping, and RCDs should be immune to surge currents of 3kA with an 8/20 waveform. S type RCDs meet this immunity requirement.

    Section 534 key areas – selection of SPDs

    SPD in conjunction with RCDs

    SPDs installed before or upstream of RCD – no tripping


    problem from overvoltages

    SPDs installed load side of RCD – nuisance tripping possible

    RCDs to have immunity to surge currents of 3kA (8/20 surge


    current waveform)

    S Type RCDs meet this requirement
