EN 60335-2-34:2013

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors

IEC 60335-2-34:2012 deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motor-compressors. Examples of equipment which contain motor-compressors are: - refrigerators, food freezers and ice makers (IEC 60335-2-24); - air-conditioners, electric heat pumps and dehumidifiers (IEC 60335-2-40); - commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75); - factory-built assemblies for transferring heat in applications for refrigerating, air-conditioning or heating purposes or a combination of such purposes. This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type used complies with this standard, the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the particular appliance standard may not need to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests may be necessary on the final appliance. Keywords: Motor compressor, hermetic; semi-hermetic

Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 2-34: Besondere Anforderungen für Motorverdichter

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-34: Exigences particulières pour les motocompresseurs

La CEI 60335-2-34:2012 traite de la sécurité des motocompresseurs étanches (de type hermétique et hermétique accessible) et, le cas échéant, de leurs systèmes de protection et de commande, qui sont destinés à être utilisés sur les appareils électrodomestiques et analogues et qui sont conformes aux normes applicables à de tels matériels. Elle s'applique aux motocompresseurs soumis à essai séparément, dans les conditions les plus sévères qui peuvent se produire en usage normal, la tension assignée n'étant pas supérieure à 250 V pour les motocompresseurs monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres motocompresseurs. Comme exemples d'appareils équipés de motocompresseurs, on peut citer: - les réfrigérateurs, congélateurs et fabriques de glace (CEI 60335-2-24); - les climatiseurs, pompes à chaleur électriques et déshumidificateurs (CEI 60335-2-40); - les distributeurs commerciaux avec ou sans moyen de paiement (CEI 60335-2-75), - les ensembles montés en usine pour le transfert de chaleur dans des applications de réfrigération, de climatisation ou de chauffage, ou toute combinaison de ces fonctions. La présente norme ne remplace pas les exigences des normes applicables aux appareils dans lesquels des motocompresseurs sont utilisés. Toutefois, si le type de motocompresseur utilisé est conforme à la présente norme, il est possible que les essais pour les motocompresseurs spécifiés dans les normes relatives aux appareils particuliers n'aient pas besoin d'être effectués sur l'appareil ou l'ensemble particulier. Si le dispositif de commande du motocompresseur est associé au dispositif de commande de l'appareil particulier, des essais complémentaires peuvent être nécessaires sur l'appareil final. Mots clé: motocompresseur, hermétique, hermétique accessible

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-34. del: Posebne zahteve za motorne kompresorje (IEC 60335-2-34:2012)

To točko 1. dela nadomešča naslednje besedilo. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost zatesnjenih motornih kompresorjev (hermetičnega ali polhermetičnega tipa) ter njihovih zaščitnih in nadzornih sistemov, če so nameščeni, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v opremi za gospodinjstvo in podobne namene ter ki so v skladu s standardi, ki veljajo za takšno opremo. Velja za motorne kompresorje, preskušene ločeno, v najhujših razmerah, ki se lahko pojavijo pri običajni rabi, pri čemer nazivna napetost enofaznih motorskih kompresorjev ne presega 250 V in nazivna napetost drugih motornih kompresorjev ne presega 480 V. Ta standard ne nadomešča zahtev posameznih standardov, ki zadevajo določene aparate, v katerih je motorni kompresor. Vendar pa v primeru, da uporabljeni tip motorskega kompresorja v zadevnem aparatu ali sestavu ustreza temu standardu, ni potrebno opraviti preskusov za motorni kompresor, navedenih v zadevnem standardu za aparat. Če je kontrolni sistem motornega kompresorja povezan s kontrolnim sistemom zadevne naprave, bodo morda potrebni dodatni preskusi na končnem aparatu. Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo motorski kompresorji v aparatih, s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne vključuje primerov, ko aparate brez nadzora uporabljajo majhni otroci ali onemogle osebe oziroma ko se otroci igrajo z napravami.
