Lightning Protection System Components (LPSC) - Part 1: Requirements for connection components
NEW!IEC 62561-1:2017 is available as IEC 62561-1:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 62561-1:2017 specifies the requirements and tests for metallic connection components that form part of a lightning protection system (LPS). Typically, these can be connectors, clamps, bonding and bridging components, expansion pieces and test joints. For the purposes of this document the following connection types are considered as connection components: exothermic, brazing, welding, clamping, crimping, seaming, screwing or bolting. Testing of components for an explosive atmosphere is not covered by this document. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a. classification of connection components in permanent and non-permanent connection; b. requirements and corresponding tests for permanent connection components such as exothermic, brazing, welding, crimping, seaming; c. flow chart of tests for connection components.

NEW!IEC 62561-1:2017 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62561-1:2017 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. L' IEC 62561-1:2017 spécifie les exigences et les essais à appliquer aux composants métalliques de connexion faisant partie d'un système de protection contre la foudre (SPF). Il peut s'agir, typiquement, des connecteurs, des colliers de serrage, des composants de pontage, des pièces d'expansion et des joints de contrôle. Pour les besoins du présent document, les types de connexions suivants sont considérés comme des composants de connexion: la soudure exothermique et autres procédés de soudage, le brasage, le serrage, le sertissage, l'agrafage, le vissage et le boulonnage. Les essais de composants pour atmosphère explosive ne sont pas concernés par le présent document. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a. la classification des composants de connexion permanente et non permanente; b. les exigences et essais correspondants concernant les composants de connexion permanente, par exemple la soudure exothermique et d'autres procédés de soudage, le brasage, le sertissage ou l'agrafage; c. un organigramme des essais destinés aux composants de connexion.
Elementi za zaščito pred strelo (LPSC) - 1. del: Zahteve za spojne komponente
Ta del standarda IEC 62561 določa zahteve in preskuse za kovinske spojne komponente, ki so del sistema za zaščito pred delovanjem strele (LPS). Običajno so to lahko konektorji, spojke, vezne in premostitvene komponente, ekspanzijski kosi in preskusni spoji.
Za namene tega dokumenta se kot spojne komponente obravnavajo naslednje vrste spojev: eksotermni, spajkani, varjeni, spajani, stiskani, spojeni, vijačeni ali netani.
Preskušanje komponent za eksplozivno atmosfero v tem dokumentu ni zajeto.
