Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Product data and properties for information exchange

IEC 62683:2015 establishes the reference dictionary of the general description of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear classes based on defined properties. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This present edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the first edition: a) new descriptions of 41 classes for the families of circuit-breakers and their associated devices (ACC2xx), switches and disconnectors (ACC3xx), control switches (ACC5xx) and terminal blocks (ACC7xx) in addition to 14 classes for motor-starters of the first edition; b) new associated properties and value lists necessary for the new classes; c) three new blocks of properties: ACC017 Head of the control circuit device, ACC018 Light block of the control circuit device and ACC041 Over-current release; d) use of LEVEL_TYPE for replacing minimum and maximum properties into a single property with two values.

Appareillage à basse tension - Données et propriétés de produits pour l'échange d'informations

L'IEC 62683:2015 définit le dictionnaire de référence pour la description générale des appareillages à basse tension sur la base de propriétés définies. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2013. Elle constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à la première édition: a) nouvelles descriptions de 41 classes pour les familles de disjoncteurs et de leurs périphériques associés (ACC2xx), les interrupteurs et sectionneurs (ACC3xx), les auxiliaires de commande (ACC5xx) et les blocs de jonction (ACC7xx) en plus des 14 classes pour les démarreurs de moteurs de la première édition; b) nouvelles propriétés associées et listes de valeurs nécessaires pour les nouvelles classes; c) trois nouveaux blocs de propriétés: ACC017 Tête de l'appareil pour circuit de commande, ACC018 Bloc lumineux de l'appareil de circuit de commande et ACC041 Protection contre la surintensité; d) utilisation de LEVEL_TYPE pour remplacer les propriétés minimum et maximum par une propriété unique avec deux valeurs.

Nizkonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - Podatki o izdelku in njegovih lastnostih za izmenjavo informacij

Ta mednarodni standard določa referenčni slovar s splošnim opisom razredov nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav na podlagi opredeljenih lastnosti. Ta slovar omogoča izmenjavo podatkov v elektronski obliki za opis nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav.
Ta standard podaja jasne in nedvoumne definicije omejenega števila lastnosti in razredov, ki se običajno uporabljajo za predstavitev, izbiro in identifikacijo izdelkov, še posebej v elektronskih katalogih.
Vsaka lastnost ima nedvoumno opredeljen pomen in poimenovanje ter opredeljen vrednostni seznam, opredeljeno obliko in opredeljeno enoto (kjer je ustrezno). Zajemanje posebnih lastnosti proizvajalca ni del namena tega standarda.
