Low-voltage fuses - Part 1: General requirements

IEC 60269-1:2024 is available as IEC 60269-1:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60269-1:2024 is applicable to fuses incorporating enclosed current-limiting fuse-links with rated breaking capacities of not less than 6 kA, intended for protecting power-frequency AC circuits of nominal voltages not exceeding 1 000 V or DC circuits of nominal voltages not exceeding 1 500 V.

Niederspannungssicherungen - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Fusibles basse tension - Partie 1: Exigences générales

IEC 60269-1:2024 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60269-1:2024 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 60269-1:2024 s'applique aux fusibles qui incorporent des éléments de remplacement limiteurs de courant à fusion enfermée dont le pouvoir de coupure assigné est supérieur ou égal à 6 kA, destinés à assurer la protection des circuits à courant alternatif à fréquence industrielle dont la tension nominale ne dépasse pas 1 000 V ou des circuits à courant continu dont la tension nominale ne dépasse pas 1 500 V.
