- - If the circuit is protected by a RCD which sensitivity is less than 15% of the neutral admissible current.

- ^ 1 2 Authorized for TT or TN-S systems if a RCD is installed at the origin of the circuit or upstream of it, and if no artificial neutral is distributed downstream of its location
- ^ In some coutries the rules applied for TN-S are the same as the rules for TN-C
