Electromechanical contactors for household and similar purposes

IEC 61095:2023 is available as IEC 61095:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 61095:2023 applies to electromechanical air break contactors for household and similar purposes provided with main contacts intended to be connected to circuits the rated voltage of which does not exceed 440 V AC (between phases) with rated operational currents less than or equal to 63 A for utilization category AC-7a, and 32 A for utilization categories AC‑7b, AC‑7c and AC-7d (expressed in rated power), and rated conditional short-circuit current less than or equal to 6 kA. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) addition of requirements for screwless terminals; b) addition of requirements for the switching of LED lamps. Contactors for domestic and similar applications can be used for controlling lighting loads which is increasingly using LED lamp technology. A specific category for contactors is created: AC-7d. Requirements and tests are added to cover this market development, mainly for making and breaking and conventional operational performance; c) addition of requirements for contactors with electronically controlled electromagnet. Household contactors with electronically controlled electromagnet are available for years on the market. To fully cover such device, requirements and tests are added, dealing mainly with operating limits, behaviour in abnormal conditions, breakdown of components, EMC tests, etc. d) embedded software. More and more contactors are incorporating electronic circuits with embedded software. A reference is provided to guide the design of the software.

IEC 61095:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61095:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 61095:2023 s'applique aux contacteurs électromécaniques à air pour usages domestiques et analogues dont les contacts principaux sont destinés à être reliés à des circuits dont la tension assignée ne dépasse pas 440 V en courant alternatif (entre phases) et dont les courants assignés d'emploi sont inférieurs ou égaux à 63 A pour la catégorie d'emploi AC-7a et à 32 A pour les catégories d'emploi AC‑7b, AC‑7c et AC-7d (exprimés en puissance assignée), et le courant assigné de court-circuit conditionnel est inférieur ou égal à 6 kA. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) ajout des exigences relatives aux bornes sans vis; b) ajout des exigences relatives à la commande des lampes à LED. Les contacteurs pour applications domestiques et analogues peuvent être utilisés pour commander les charges d'éclairage, qui utilisent de plus en plus la technologie de lampe à LED. Création d'une catégorie spécifique pour les contacteurs: AC-7d. Des exigences et des essais ont été ajoutés pour couvrir cette évolution du marché, notamment en ce qui concerne la fermeture et la coupure et le fonctionnement conventionnel en service; c) ajout des exigences relatives aux contacteurs qui comportent un électroaimant commandé électroniquement. Les contacteurs domestiques qui comportent un électroaimant commandé électroniquement sont disponibles sur le marché depuis des années. Pour couvrir pleinement les appareils de ce types, des exigences et des essais ont été ajoutés, qui traitent notamment des limites de fonctionnement, du comportement en conditions anormales, du claquage des composants, des essais CEM, etc. d) concernant les logiciels intégrés, de plus en plus de contacteurs contiennent des circuits électroniques avec un logiciel intégré. Une référence est fournie à titre de guide pour la conception des logiciels.
