    This document discusses earth leakage protection devices and their use in various electrical environments and with different types of loads. It provides a table that shows which combinations of upstream and downstream protection devices with different sensitivities will provide discrimination to ensure only the defective part is switched off in the event of an earth fault. Discrimination is possible when the upstream device is selective or delayed and the downstream device has a higher sensitivity. The document also lists examples of loads that may require earth leakage protection and the types of devices recommended for different electrical and atmospheric environments.

    Discrimination
    Residual current devices of average sensitivity (100 mA and more) are available in a selective (s) and delayed (R) version.
    This option ensures that, in the event of an earth fault downstream of the installation, only the defective part is switched off.
    The table below shows (in green) which upstream/downstream equipment combinations provide this discrimination.
