L'IEC 62852:2014 s'applique aux connecteurs utilisés dans les circuits à courant continu des systèmes photovoltaïques selon la classe II de l'IEC 61140:2001 de tension assignée allant jusqu'à 1 500 V en courant continu et de courant assigné allant jusqu'à 125 A par contact. Elle s'applique à des connecteurs sans pouvoir de coupure mais qui peuvent être branchés et débranchés sous tension.
Konektorji za enosmerne aplikacije v fotonapetostnih sistemih - Varnostne zahteve in preskusi (IEC 62852:2014)
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za konektorje za uporabo v enosmernih tokokrogih fotonapetostnih sistemov v skladu z razredom II standarda IEC 61140:2001 z nazivnimi napetostmi do 1500 V in nazivnimi tokovi do 125 A na stik. Ta standard se uporablja za konektorje brez zmogljivosti prekinitve, vendar jih je mogoče priključiti in odstraniti pod napetostjo.
Ta standard se uporablja tudi za konektorje, ki so namenjeni vgradnji ali vdelavi v ohišje naprav za fotonapetostne sisteme. Ta standard je mogoče uporabiti kot vodilo za konektorje v fotonapetostnih sistemih razredov 0 in III v skladu s standardom IEC 61140:2001 in za zaščito za opremo razreda II, namenjeno uporabi pri enosmerni nazivni napetosti manj kot 50 V.
