Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification - Part 2: Requirements for testing

This part of IEC 61730 describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation during their expected lifetime. Specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. This part of IEC 61730 pertains to the particular requirements of construction. IEC 61730-2 outlines the requirements of testing. This standard attempts to define the basic requirements for various application classes of PV modules, but it cannot be considered to encompass all national or regional building codes. The specific requirements for marine and vehicle applications are not covered. This standard is not applicable to modules with integrated AC inverters (AC modules). This standard is designed so that its test sequence can coordinate with those of IEC 61215 or IEC 61646, so that a single set of samples may be used to perform both the safety and performance evaluation of a photovoltaic module design. The object of this document is to provide basic guidance in certifying the fundamental construction of photovoltaic modules presented for safety approval by testing under IEC 61730-2. These requirements are intended to minimise the misapplication and misuse of modules or the breakdown of internal components which would result in fire, electric shock and personal injury. The standard defines the basic safety construction requirements and additional tests that are a function of the module end-use applications. Component requirements are intended to provide evidence of performance of that component appropriate to its application in the module construction and environment.

Varnostne zahteve fotonapetostnih (PV) modulov - 2. del: Zahteve za preskušanje - Dopolnilo A1 (IEC 61730-2:2004/A1:2011)

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.
