EN 62626-1:2014

Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear enclosed equipment - Part 1: Enclosed switch-disconnectors outside the scope of IEC 60947-3 to provide isolation during repair and maintenance work

IEC 62626-1:2014 applies to enclosed switches-disconnectors with rated voltages up to 1 000 V a.c. for repair and maintenance work or cleaning work in load circuits. Devices within the scope of this standard are derived from switch-disconnectors according to IEC 60947-3. Enclosed switch-disconnectors in this standard are suitable for isolation according to IEC 60947 series and are not supposed to be equipped with means for remote control or automatic switching to avoid unexpected or accidental start. These devices are not intended to be used for operational switching, quick start and stop or jogging.

Appareillage à basse tension sous enveloppe - Partie 1: Interrupteur-sectionneur en coffret, en dehors du domaine d'application de la norme CEI 60947-3, destiné à garantir l'isolation pendant les phases de maintenance

L'IEC 62626-1:2014 s'applique aux interrupteurs-sectionneurs sous enveloppe, ayant une tension assignée allant jusqu'à 1 000 V en courant alternatif, pour les travaux de réparation et de maintenance, ou pour les opérations de nettoyage de circuits de charge. Les appareillages entrant dans le cadre de cette norme sont similaires aux interrupteurs-sectionneurs selon la CEI 60947-3. Les interrupteurs-sectionneurs sous enveloppe conformes à la présente norme conviennent à une isolation selon la série CEI 60947 et ne sont pas supposés être équipés de dispositif de contrôle à distance ou de mise sous tension automatique, pour éviter des démarrages inattendus ou accidentels. Ces appareillages ne sont pas destinés à être utilisés pour une mise sous tension fonctionnelle, un démarrage et un arrêt rapide ou un fonctionnement par à-coups.

Oprema, vgrajena v nizkonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 1. del: Vgrajeno stikalo, zunaj določb IEC 60947-3, za različno uporabo, za zagotavljanje izolacije električne opreme med popravljalnimi in vzdrževalnimi deli (IEC 62626-1:2014)

Standard EN IEC 62626-1 se uporablja za vgrajena stikala/ločilna stikala z naznačenimi izmeničnimi napetostmi do 1000 V za popravljalna in vzdrževalna dela ali čiščenje v obremenitvenih tokokrogih. Naprave znotraj področja uporabe tega standarda izhajajo iz stikal/ločilnih stikal v skladu s standardom IEC 60947-3. Vgrajena stikala/ločilna stikala v tem standardu so primerna za izolacijo v skladu s skupino standardov IEC 60947 in naj ne bi bila opremljena z načinom za daljinsko upravljanje ali samodejno preklapljanje, da bi se preprečil nepričakovan ali nezgoden vklop. Te naprave niso namenjene operativnemu preklapljanju, hitremu vklopu ali izklopu ali kratkemu vklopu. Naprave znotraj področja uporabe tega standarda zagotavljajo izolacijo električne opreme, zlasti v motornih tokokrogih, med popravljalnimi in vzdrževalnimi deli ali čiščenjem. Vgrajena stikala/ločilna stikala za različno uporabo za zagotavljanje izolacije električne opreme med popravljalnimi in vzdrževalnimi deli, imenovana »vzdrževalna stikala«, so v nadaljevanju označena kot naprave z: a) različnimi razredi; b) karakteristikami vsakega razreda; c) minimalnimi preskusnimi zahtevami; d) informacijami, ki se označijo na opremi ali jih da na voljo proizvajalec, na primer v katalogu.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
