Vtiči, vtičnice in spojni elementi za industrijsko rabo - 1. del: Splošne zahteve (IEC 60309-1:1999/A1:2005 spremenjen)

Standard se uporablja za vtiče in vtičnice, spojke kablov in aparatov z nazivno obratovalno napetostjo, ki ne presega 690 V enosmerne ali izmenične napetosti in frekvence 500 Hz, ter nazivnim tokom, ki ne presega 250 A, namenjene predvsem za industrijsko uporabo v notranjih prostorih ali na prostem. Seznam prednostnih nazivnih vrednosti ni namenjen izključitvi drugih nazivnih vrednosti, pri čemer so zahteve zanje v obravnavi. Ta evropski standard se uporablja samo za izdelke skupine I. Izdelki skupine II niso dovoljeni in niso primerni za uporabo v Evropi: sklicevanje in zahteve za izdelke skupine II so v tem standardu navedeni zgolj informativno in jih je treba prezreti. Ta evropski standard se uporablja samo za izdelke, ki so namenjeni uporabi s kabli z metričnimi velikostmi (mm2). Sklicevanje in zahteve za kable AWG in MCM so navedeni v ustrezni publikaciji IEC, pri čemer so v tem standardu navedeni zgolj informativno. Dodatek ZB zajema seznam sklicevanj na skupino II in/ali kable AWG/MCM, ki so izključeni iz tega standarda.

– terminals declared for rigid conductors only (both solid and stranded) with the letter “r”
– terminals declared for flexible conductors only with the letter “f”;
– terminals declared for rigid (both solid and stranded) and flexible conductors need not be
marked.
60309-1 Amend. 1  IEC:2005 – 9 –
This marking shall appear where it is practical on the end product or on the smallest package
unit or in the manufacturer’s technical documentation and/or catalogues.

It shall not be possible to engage plugs or connectors with socket-outlets or appliance inlets
having different ratings, or having contact combinations allowing improper connection.
In addition, the design shall be such that improper connections shall not be possible between:
– the earth and/or pilot plug contact and a live socket-outlet contact, or a live plug contact
and the earth and/or pilot socket-outlet contact;
– the phase plug contacts and the neutral socket-outlet contact, if any;
– the neutral plug contact and a phase socket-outlet contact.
Connection of single-phase or three-phase plugs into three-phase + neutral socket-outlets are
permitted where the above conditions are met.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
