Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 2: Power switchgear and controlgear assemblies

IEC 61439-2:2011 defines the specific requirements of power switchgear and controlgear assemblies (PSC-ASSEMBLIES) as follows: - ASSEMBLIES for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V in case of a.c. or 1 500 V in case of d.c.; - stationary or movable ASSEMBLIES with or without enclosure; - ASSEMBLIES intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment; - ASSEMBLIES designed for use under special service conditions, for example in ships and in rail vehicles provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with; - ASSEMBLIES designed for electrical equipment of machines. Supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES forming part of a machine are covered by the IEC 60204 series. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. It constitutes a technical revision. This second edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the last edition of IEC 61439-2: - clarification of the scope; - revision of requirements for withdrawable and removable parts; - revision of mechanical impact test (10.2.6); - extension of Table 101; - review of Table BB.1 to reflect modified requirements and verifications; - general editorial review. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61439-1:2009.

Sestavi nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav - 2. del: Sestavi močnostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav (IEC 61439-2:2011)

Ta del standarda IEC 61439 določa posebne zahteve za sestave močnostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav (PSC-SESTAVI): – SESTAVI, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 1000 V v primeru izmenične napetosti ali 1500 V v primeru enosmerne napetosti; – stacionarni ali premični SESTAVI z ohišjem ali brez; – SESTAVI, namenjeni za uporabo na področju proizvodnje, prenosa, distribucije in pretvarjanja električne energije ter za nadzor opreme, ki uporablja električno energijo; – SESTAVI, namenjeni za uporabo v posebnih pogojih obratovanja, na primer na ladjah in železniških vozilih, pod pogojem da so izpolnjene druge ustrezne specifične zahteve; – SESTAVI za električno opremo strojev. Dodatne zahteve za SESTAVE, ki so del stroja, zajema skupina standardov IEC 60204. Ta standard se uporablja za vse SESTAVE, ne glede na to, ali so oblikovani, proizvedeni in preverjani enkratno ali v celoti standardizirani in proizvedeni v velikih količinah. Proizvodnja in/ali sestavljanje lahko izvaja oseba, ki ni prvotni proizvajalec (glej 3.10.1). Ta standard ne velja za posamezne naprave in avtonomne sestavne dele, kot so zaganjalniki motorjev, varovalčna stikala, elektronska oprema itd., ki je skladna z ustreznimi standardi za izdelke. Ta standard ne velja za posebne vrste SESTAVOV, ki jih zajemajo drugi deli standarda IEC 61439. Za SESTAVE, ki niso zajeti v drugih delih, velja ta del.

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.
