Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification - Part 1: Requirements for construction

Describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation during their expected lifetime. Addresses the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. Pertains to the particular requirements of construction and is to be used in conjunction with EN 61215 or EN 61646.

Photovoltaik(PV)-Module - Sicherheitsqualifikation - Teil 1: Anforderungen an den Aufbau

Qualification pour la sûreté de fonctionnement des modules photovoltaïques (PV) - Partie 1: Exigences pour la construction

Décrit les exigences fondamentales de construction pour les modules photovoltaïques afin de fournir un fonctionnement électrique et mécanique sûr au cours de leur durée de vie. Couvre la prévention contre les chocs électriques, les risques de feu et les accidents corporels dus à des contraintes mécaniques et environnementales. Se rapporte aux exigences particulières de construction et sera utilisée conjointement avec la EN 61215 ou la EN 61646.

Varnostne zahteve fotonapetostnih (PV) modulov - 1. del: Konstrukcijske zahteve (IEC 61730-1:2004)

Ta del standarda IEC 61730 opisuje temeljne konstrukcijske zahteve za fotonapetostne (PV) module, da se zagotovi njihovo varno električno in mehansko delovanje med pričakovano življenjsko dobo. Podane so specifične teme na področju ocene preprečevanja električnega udara, požarne ogroženosti in osebnih poškodb zaradi mehanskih in okoljskih obremenitev. Ta del standarda IEC 61730 se nanaša na posebne gradbene zahteve. Standard IEC 61730-2 podaja zahteve za preskušanje. Ta standard poskuša določiti osnovne zahteve za različne razrede uporabe fotonapetostnih modulov, vendar ne zajema vseh nacionalnih in regionalnih gradbenih predpisov. Specifične zahteve za uporabo na morju in v vozilih niso zajete. Ta standard se ne uporablja za module z vgrajenimi pretvorniki AC (moduli AC). Ta standard je oblikovan tako, da se lahko preskusno zaporedje uskladi z zaporedji iz standardov IEC 61215 ali IEC 61646, zato se lahko za vrednotenje varnosti in učinkovitosti projektiranja fotonapetostnih modulov uporabi ena sama skupina vzorcev. Cilj tega dokumenta je zagotoviti osnovne smernice za certificiranje temeljne konstrukcije fotonapetostnih modulov, namenjenih za potrditev varnosti s preskušanjem v skladu s standardom IEC 61730-2. Te zahteve so namenjene za zmanjšanje nepravilnega delovanja in uporabe modulov ali odpovedi notranjih sestavnih delov, ki bi povzročila požar, električni udar in osebne poškodbe. Standard določa osnovne varnostne gradbene zahteve in dodatne preskuse, ki so funkcija praktične uporabe modula. Zahteve glede sestavnih delov so namenjene za dokazovanje, da delovanje sestavnega dela ustreza njegovi uporabi v konstrukciji modula in okolju.
