Amandma A2:2014 je dodatek k standardu SIST EN 60269-1:2007.
Ta del standarda IEC 60269 se uporablja za varovalke, ki vključujejo zaprte vložke varovalk za omejevanje toka z nazivno zmogljivostjo prekinitve najmanj 6 kA, namenjene zaščiti napajalnih izmeničnih tokokrogov z nazivnimi napetostmi, ki ne presegajo 1000 V, ali enosmernih tokokrogov z nazivnimi napetostmi, ki ne presegajo 1500 V. Poznejši deli tega standarda, omenjeni v tem besedilu, obravnavajo dodatne zahteve za take varovalke, namenjene posebnim pogojem uporabe ali uporabam. Vložki varovalk, namenjeni vključitvi v kombinacije varovalka-stikalo v skladu s standardom IEC 60947-3, naj bi bili prav tako skladni z naslednjimi zahtevami.

Overview

EN 60269-1:2007/A2:2014 is a CENELEC amendment to the European adoption of IEC 60269-1 (Low‑voltage fuses - Part 1: General requirements). This amendment (A2) updates the general requirements for low‑voltage fuses and fuse‑links, aligning EN text with IEC 60269‑1:2006/A2:2014. It clarifies normative references, expands preferred rated values (including d.c. voltages), introduces new series values and ratings, and updates test and verification requirements used for product conformity and safety under the Low Voltage Directive.

Key Topics

• Scope and normative references
  • Adds IEC 60228 (conductors) and IEC 60269‑6 (supplementary requirements for PV fuse‑links).
  • Updates glow‑wire fire‑hazard references to IEC 60695‑2‑10/11/12/13 variants.
• Rated voltages and currents
  • Adds preferred d.c. rated voltage values (Table 22), including higher Series I/II values (e.g., 1 000 V Series I, 347 V Series II).
  • Introduces 35 A as a standardized rated current between 32 A and 40 A; guidance to select values from ISO 3 series (R10, R20, R40) when needed.
• Fuse categories and marking
  • Clarifies utilization categories and explicitly adds “gK” as a full‑range breaking capacity category for general application alongside gG and gM.
• Time‑current (I²t / I·t) characteristics and gates
  • Updates conventional time/current tables for gG, gK, and gM types; adds pre‑arcing I·t values and gate entries for 35 A.
• Testing, verification and terminology
  • Revises test tables (e.g., Tables 17–21) including conductor cross‑sections for test set‑ups and breaking capacity values for d.c. fuses.
  • Replaces the term “discrimination” with “selectivity” throughout verification clauses.
  • Adjusts Annex B evaluation formulas and verification references.

Applications

• Compliance and product design: Fuse manufacturers use EN 60269‑1:2007/A2 to design and certify low‑voltage fuse‑links that meet European safety and LVD requirements.
• Electrical engineering and system design: Designers and installers select proper rated voltages, currents, breaking capacities, and time‑current characteristics for protection in industrial, commercial and renewable (PV) systems.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies: use the updated test conductor sizes, I·t verification methods and glow‑wire references for conformity assessment.
• Renewable energy: references to IEC 60269‑6 make this amendment relevant for solar photovoltaic protection fuse‑links.

Related Standards

• IEC 60269‑1 / EN 60269‑1 (base standard)
• IEC 60269‑6 (Fuse‑links for photovoltaic systems)
• IEC 60228 (Conductors of insulated cables)
• IEC 60695‑2‑10 / ‑11 / ‑12 / ‑13 (Glow‑wire fire‑hazard tests)
• IEC 60364‑5‑52 (Cable current‑carrying capacity - referenced for test conditions)

This amendment is essential reading for professionals dealing with low‑voltage fuses, fuse‑link selection, testing, and regulatory compliance in Europe.
