identified as type tested components suitable for unrestricted use in a bypassed controller
(see annex J).
8.2.1.7 Dependent components in bypassed controllers
For the purpose of setting requirements for bypassed controllers, switching devices which do
not meet all of the requirements of 8.2.1.6.1, before they are installed, shall be identified as
dependent components suitable only for restricted use in a bypassed controller (see annex J).
8.2.1.8 Unrestricted use of switching devices in bypassed controllers
When both the mechanical switching device and the semiconductor switching device are
identified as type tested components, these devices shall be arranged and connected to
comply with the assigned rating, duty and the end use intended by the manufacturer. There
shall be no further restrictions.
8.2.1.9 Restricted use of switching devices in bypassed controllers
When either one or both switching devices are identified as dependent components, the
switching devices shall comply with the following:
a) the switching devices shall be combined, rated and tested as a unit;
b) the switching devices shall be interlocked, by any combination of electrical, electronic and
mechanical means, such that the mechanical switching contacts shall not be required to
make or break overload currents without direct intervention by the semiconductor
switching device;
c) the semiconductor switching device shall be enabled to take over the control of the current
flowing in the main circuit whenever it is necessary to make or break overload currents.

The main circuit of a controller or starter, which carries current in the full-on state, including
the over-current releases which may be associated with it, shall be capable of carrying the
current I without the temperature rises exceeding the limits specified in 7.2.2.1 of IEC 60947-
e

the relevant rated operational current (5.3.2.3).
8.2.2.4.2 Series mechanical switching devices for hybrid controllers
For hybrid controllers, the temperature rise of the components in series with the main circuit

load periods for the two switching devices (table 5) shall be determined by a sequence of
operations which is the same as intended in normal service.
8.2.2.4.4 Semiconductor devices connected in the main circuit
The temperature rise of the semiconductor devices connected in the main circuit shall be
verified by the procedures given in 9.3.3.3.4 and 9.3.3.6.1 (thermal stability test).
