I'm trying to find a list of trip times for 30/100/300/500ma rcd devices to make some flash cards.

I've found table 3A but it's somewhat confusing. If I read it correct, the table suggests a 30ma rcd should trip at 10ma. I must be reading it wrong?

Anyone know how to read the table correctly?

Better still does anyone have a list of trip times ;-)
 
Table 3A gives you the rating of the device. Then you have 3 sets of test current followed by the required trip time.

So at 30mA a 30mA RCD should trip in 300ms or less, at 60mA it should trip in 150ms or less and at 150mA, 40ms or less.
