530 General and Common Requirements
The requirements of this chapter are supplementary to the common rules given in chapter 51 of IEC 364-5.
530.1 The moving contacts of all poles of multipole devices shall be so coupled mechanically that they make and break substantially together, except that contacts solely intended for the neutral may close before and open after the other contacts.
530.2 Except as provided in 537.2.4, in multiphase circuits, single-pole devices shall not be inserted in the neutral conductor.
In single-phase circuits single-pole devices shall not be inserted in the neutral conductor, unless a residual current device complying with the rules of clause 413.1 of IEC: 364 is provided on the supply side.
530.3 Devices embodying more than one function shall comply with all the requirements of this chapter appropriate to each separate function.
