Automatic electrical controls for household and similar use - Part 2-7: Particular requirements for timers and time switches

IEC 60730-2-7:2008 applies to timers and time switches for household and similar use that may use electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, solar thermal energy, etc. or a combination thereof, including heating, air conditioning and similar applications. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1990 and its Amendment 1 (1994). This second edition constitutes a technical revision. This new edition incorporates requirements for tungsten filament lamp loadings as well as updates the standard to IEC 60730-1:1999, Amendment 2 (2007). This Part 2-7 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on the basis of the third edition of that standard (1999) and its Amendment 1 (2003) and Amendment 2 (2007). Consideration may be given to future editions of, or amendments to, IEC 60730-1.

Automatische elektrische Regel- und Steuergeräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Anwendungen - Teil 2-7: Besondere Anforderungen an Zeitsteuergeräte und Schaltuhren

Dispositifs de commande électrique automatiques à usage domestique et analogue - Partie 2-7: Règles particulières pour les minuteries et les minuteries cycliques

La CEI 60730-2-7:2008 s'applique aux minuteries et aux minuteries cycliques à usage domestique et analogue qui peuvent utiliser l'électricité, le gaz, le pétrole, un combustible solide, l'énergie thermique solaire, etc., ou une combinaison de ces énergies, y compris des applications de chauffage, climatisation et usages analogues. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 1990 et son amendement 1 (1994). Cette deuxième édition constitue une révision technique. Cette nouvelle édition incorpore les exigences pour les charges par lampes à filament de tungstène et met à jour la norme par rapport à la CEI 60730-1:1999, Amendement 2 (2007). La présente Partie 2-7 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la CEI 60730-1. Elle a été établie sur la base de la troisième édition de cette norme (1999), de son Amendement 1 (2003) et de son Amendement 2 (2007). Les éditions futures de la CEI 60730-1, ou ses amendements, pourront être pris en considération.

Avtomatske električne krmilne naprave za gospodinjstva in podobno uporabo - 2-7. del: Posebne zahteve za stikalne ure in časovna stikala (IEC 60730-2-7:2008, spremenjen)

Na splošno ta del IEC 60730 velja za stikalne ure in časovna stikala za gospodinjstva in podobno uporabo, ki lahko porabljajo elektriko, plin, nafto, trdno gorivo, solarno termalno energijo ali njihove kombinacije, vključno z ogrevanjem, prezračevanjem in podobnimi rabami. Ta standard prav tako velja za posamične stikalne ure, uporabljene kot del nadzornega sistema ali stikalne ure, ki so mehansko združene v večfunkcijske krmilne naprave, z priključki, ki niso električni.  Ta standard ne velja za stikala s časovno zakasnitvijo (TDS) znotraj področja uporabe IEC 60669-2-3. V tem standardu besedna zveza »stikalne ure« pomeni stiskalne ure in časovna stikala, razen če je vrsta posebej omenjena. Naprave, ki kažejo zgolj čas ali minevanje časa, niso vključene. Ta standard ne velja za večfunkcijske krmilne naprave, ki imajo vgrajeno funkcijo za izbiro časa, ki je ni možno preskusiti kot ločeno napravo za izbiro časa.
