Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 5: Assemblies for power distribution in public networks

IEC 61439-5:2010 gives specific requirements for public electricity network distribution assemblies (PENDAs), which are stationary assemblies verified by verification tests, as defined in this standard. These ASSEMBLIES are used for the distribution of electrical energy in three-phase systems (see Figure 101 for a typical distribution network). Open type ASSEMBLIES are not covered by this standard. This first edition of IEC 61439-5 cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60439-5 (2006), and constitutes a technical revision. This edition of IEC 61439-5 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the latest edition of IEC 60439-5: - alignment on IEC 61439-1 regarding the structure and technical content, as applicable; - introduction of new verifications, accordingly; - harmonisation of the requirements of substation cable distribution boards and cable distribution cabinets, thereby eliminating the need to identify and define two catagories of assembly; - simpler standard as a result of a reduction in the number of assembly types defined and the acronyms used to identify the different assemblies.

Niederspannungs-Schaltgerätekombinationen – Teil 5: Schaltgerätekombinationen in öffentlichen Energieverteilungsnetzen

Ensembles d'appareillage à basse tension - Partie 5: Ensembles pour réseaux de distribution publique

La CEI 61439-5:2010 définit des exigences spécifiques aux ensembles pour réseaux de distribution publique (ERD) qui sont fixes et vérifiés par des essais de vérification comme défini dans la présente norme. Ces ENSEMBLES sont utilisés pour la distribution de l'énergie électrique dans des systèmes triphasés (voir Figure 101 représentant un réseau de distribution classique). Les ENSEMBLES ouverts ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme. Cette première édition de la CEI 61439-5 annule et remplace la seconde édition de la CEI 60439-5 (2006), et constitue une révision technique. La présente édition de la CEI 61439-5 inclut les modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à la dernière édition de la CEI 60439-5: - alignement sur la CEI 61439-1 en ce qui concerne la structure et le contenu technique, s'il y a lieu; - introduction de nouvelles vérifications, en conséquence; - harmonisation des exigences relatives aux tableaux de distribution par câbles pour poste (SCDB) et aux ensembles d'appareillage pour réseaux de distribution (ERD) éliminant ainsi la nécessité d'identifier et de définir deux catégories d'ensembles; - norme simplifiée en raison de la réduction du nombre de types d'ensembles définis et des acronymes utilisés pour identifier les différents ensembles.

Nizkonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 5. del: Sestavi za distribucijo električne energije v javnih omrežjih (IEC 61439-5:2010)

Ta standard podaja posebne zahteve za distribucijske naprave (PENDA) javnih električnih omrežij, ki so stacionarne naprave, potrjene s preskusi preverjanja, kot je opisano v tem standardu. Te NAPRAVE se uporabljajo za distribucijo električne energije v trifaznih sistemih (glej sliko 101 za tipično distribucijsko omrežje). NAPRAVE odprtega tipa niso zajete s tem standardom. Cilj tega standarda je navesti definicije in določiti pogoje delovanja, konstrukcijske zahteve, tehnične značilnosti in preskuse za PENDA. Omrežni parametri lahko zahtevajo preskuse pri višjih ravneh delovanja. PENDA so primerne za namestitev na mestih, kjer imajo dostop do njihove uporabe le usposobljene osebe, vendar so zunanji tipi lahko nameščeni tako, da so dostopni običajnim ljudem.

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
