IEC 63024:2017 applies to automatic reclosing devices (ARDs) for household and similar uses, for rated voltage not exceeding 440V AC, and which are intended to be used in combination with circuit-breakers, RCCBs and RCBOs, and designed either for factory assembly or for assembly on site.These devices are intended to reclose main protective devices (MPDs) such as circuit-breakers complying with IEC60898-1 and/or IEC60898-2, RCCBs complying with IEC61008-1 and/or IEC62423, and RCBOs complying with IEC61009-1 and/or IEC62423 after tripping of those devices in order to re-establish continuity of service.
