Junction boxes for photovoltaic modules - Safety requirements and tests

IEC 62790:2014 describes safety requirements, constructional requirements and tests for junction boxes up to 1 500 V dc for use on photovoltaic modules according to class II of IEC 61140:2001. This standard applies also to enclosures mounted on PV-modules containing electronic circuits for converting, controlling, monitoring or similar operations.

Boîtes de jonction pour modules photovoltaïques - Exigences de sécurité et essais

L'IEC 62790:2014 décrit les exigences de sécurité, les exigences de construction et les essais relatifs aux boîtes de jonction jusqu'à 1 500 V en courant continu utilisées sur des modules photovoltaïques conformes à la classe II de l'IEC 61140:2001. La présente Norme s'applique également aux enveloppes montées sur des modules photovoltaïques comportant des circuits électroniques pour la conversion, le contrôle, la surveillance ou opérations similaires.

Priključnice fotonapetostnih modulov - Varnostne zahteve in preskušanje (IEC 62790:2014)

Ta mednarodni standard opisuje varnostne zahteve, konstrukcijske zahteve in preskuse za priključnice do 1500 V enosmerne napetosti za uporabo v fotonapetostnih modulih v skladu z razredom II standarda IEC 61140:2001.
Ta standard velja tudi za okrove, nameščene na fotonapetostnih modulih z elektronskimi vezji za pretvarjanje, kontroliranje, nadzorovanje ali podobne operacije. Na podlagi upoštevanja okoljskih pogojev fotonapetostnih modulov se uporabljajo dodatne zahteve glede ustreznih operacij. Ta standard se ne uporablja za elektronska vezja teh naprav, za katere se uporabljajo drugi standardi IEC.
OPOMBA: Pri priključnicah razreda 0 in III v skladu s standardom IEC 61140:2001 v fotonapetostnih sistemih se lahko ta standard uporablja kot smernica.
