EN 60947-5-1:2004

Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 5-1: Control circuit devices and switching elements - Electromechanical control circuit devices

Applies to control circuit devices and switching elements intended for control-ling, signalling, interlocking, etc., of switchgear and controlgear. It applies to control circuit devices having a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. (at a frequency not exceeding 1 000 Hz) or 600 V d.c. This standard applies to specific types of control circuit devices such as: - manual control switches, for example pushbuttons, rotary switches, foot switches, etc.; - electromagnetically operated control switches, either time-delayed or instantaneous, for example contactor relays; - pilot switches, for example pressure switches, temperature sensitive switches (thermostats), programmers, etc.; - position switches, for example control switches operated by part of a machine or mechanism; - associated control circuit equipment, for example indicator lights, etc. It also applies to specific types of switching elements associated with other devices (whose main circuits are covered by other standards) such as: - auxiliary contacts of a switching device (e.g. contactor, circuit breaker. etc.) which are not dedicated exclusively for use with the coil of that device; - interlocking contacts of enclosure doors; - control circuit contacts of rotary switches; - control circuit contacts of overload relays. Contactor relays shall also meet the requirements and tests of EN 60947-4-1 except for the utilization category which shall comply with this standard. This standard does not include the relays covered in EN 60255 or automatic electrical control devices for household and similar purposes. The colour requirements of indicator lights, pushbuttons, etc., are found in EN 60073 and also in publication 2 of the International Commission of Illumination (CIE). The object of this standard is to state: a) The characteristics of control circuit devices. b) The electrical and mechanical requirements with respect to: 1) The various duties to be performed. 2) The significance of the rated characteristics a

Appareillage à basse tension - Partie 5-1: Appareils et éléments de commutation pour circuits de commande - Appareils électromécaniques pour circuits de commande

Applicable aux appareils pour circuits de commande et aux éléments de commutation destinés à la commande, la signalisation, le verrouillage, etc., de l'appareillage. Elle est applicable aux appareils pour circuits de commande dont la tension assignée ne dépasse pas 1 000 V en courant alternatif (à une fréquence ne dépassant pas 1 000 Hz) ou 600 V en courant continu. La présente norme s'applique à des types déterminés d'appareils pour circuits de commande, tels que: - auxiliaires manuels de commande, par exemple boutons-poussoirs, commutateurs rotatifs, interrupteurs à pédale, etc.; - auxiliaires électromagnétiques de commande, soit temporisés, soit instantanés, par exemple contacteurs auxiliaires; - auxiliaires automatiques de commande, par exemple détecteurs de pression à contacts, détecteurs de température à contacts (thermostats), programmateurs, etc.; - interrupteurs de position, par exemple auxiliaires de commande actionnés par une partie d'une machine ou d'un mécanisme; - matériel de commande associé, par exemple voyants lumineux, etc. Elle s'applique également à des types déterminés d'éléments de commutation associés à d'autres appareils (dont les circuits principaux font l'objet d'autres normes), tels que: - contacts auxiliaires d'un appareil de connexion (par exemple contacteur, disjoncteur, etc.) qui ne sont pas prévus pour être utilisés exclusivement avec la bobine de cet appareil; - contacts de verrouillage de portes d'enveloppes; - contacts de circuits de commande d'interrupteurs rotatifs; - contacts de circuits de commande de relais de surcharge. Les contacteurs auxiliaires doivent satisfaire aux prescriptions et aux essais de la EN 60947-4-1 sauf en ce qui concerne la catégorie d'emploi qui doit être conforme à la présente norme. Cette norme ne comprend pas les relais qui sont traités dans la EN 60255 ni les dispositifs électriques de commande automatique pour appareils à usage domestique et analogue.
