Comfort fans and regulators for household and similar purposes - Methods for measuring performance

IEC 60879:2019 specifies the performance-measuring methods of comfort fans and regulators for household and similar purposes, including conventional fans, tower fans and bladeless fans, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase fans and 480 V for other fans, and their rated power input being less than 125 W. According to the testing method, the comfort fans are classified into two groups: – pedestal fans, table fans, wall fans, louvre fans, tower fans, bladeless fans; – ceiling fans. Wherever applicable, the term "fan" used in this document includes its associated regulator, if any. This document does not apply to: – safety of electric fans for household and similar purposes (IEC 60335-2-80); – performance of ventilating fans (IEC 60665); – electromagnetic compatibility of fans (CISPR 14-1 and CISPR 14-2, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-3). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1986. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) the definitions of fans have been revised; b) the test methods for the different types of fans have been revised to allow modern test instrumentation to be used; c) acoustic noise measurement and standby power measurement methods have been introduced.

Ventilateurs de confort et régulateurs de vitesse pour applications domestiques et analogues - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction

L'IEC 60879:2019 spécifie les méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction des ventilateurs de confort et des régulateurs de vitesse pour applications domestiques et analogues, notamment les ventilateurs conventionnels, les ventilateurs à colonne et les ventilateurs sans pales, présentant une tension assignée inférieure ou égale à 250 V pour les ventilateurs monophasés et inférieure ou égale à 480 V pour les autres ventilateurs, ainsi qu'une puissance absorbée nominale inférieure à 125 W. Selon la méthode d'essai, les ventilateurs de confort se classent en deux groupes: – ventilateurs sur pied, ventilateurs de table, ventilateurs muraux, ventilateurs rotatifs, ventilateurs à colonne, ventilateurs sans pales; – ventilateurs de plafond. Lorsqu'il y a lieu, le terme "ventilateur" employé dans le présent document couvre également son régulateur (si le ventilateur en est équipé d'un). Le présent document ne s'applique pas à: – la sécurité des ventilateurs électriques pour applications domestiques et analogues (IEC 60335-2-80); – l'aptitude à la fonction des aérateurs (IEC 60665); – la compatibilité électromagnétique des ventilateurs (CISPR 14-1 et CISPR 14-2, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000 3-3). Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1986. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition comprend les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) les définitions des ventilateurs ont été révisées; b) les méthodes d'essai des différents types de ventilateurs ont été révisées afin de permettre l'emploi d'appareils de mesure modernes; c) des méthodes de mesure ont été ajoutées pour les mesurages du bruit acoustique et de la consommation d'électricité.

Prezračevalni ventilatorji in regulatorji za gospodinjstvo in podobno uporabo - Metode za merjenje lastnosti

Ta standard določa metode merjenja zmogljivosti prezračevalnih ventilatorjev in regulatorjev za gospodinjske ter podobne namene, vključno z običajnimi ventilatorji, stolpnimi ventilatorji in ventilatorji brez lopatic, pri čemer njihova nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V pri enofaznih ventilatorjih in 480 V pri drugih ventilatorjih, njihova nazivna vhodna moč pa je manjša od 125 W. Kjer je primerno, izraz »ventilator«, uporabljen v tem dokumentu, vključuje tudi pripadajoči regulator, če obstaja.
