Discuss Disconnection times for 30mA RCD at 5 times current. in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net

The official line is that if the disconnection times for the BS are met on 1X and 5X then it can be taken that the 2X will be met.

The only way to test a component function at 2xIΔn is to sample at 2xIΔn

A sample at 1 and 5xIΔn are samples at 1 and 5xIΔn

Component manufactures specifications for performance at 2xIΔn cannot be assumed because the component functions within an acceptable tolerance at any other measured value previously ascertained by the manufacturer and in agreement with measured values by the tester.

All disconnection times are listing in the On-Site Guide page 92. If you are taking your 2330 302/303 make sure you label your On-Site with post-its so you can access the information quicker.
Post it's are good. Don't shoot the messenger but when you do your 2382 (17th) you are no longer allowed to have an "annotated copy" of BS7671 to refer to (C&G rule).
