Vtiči, vtičnice, konektorji in uvodnice na vozilih - Kabelsko napajanje električnih vozil - 1. del: Splošne zahteve (IEC 62196-1:2014, spremenjen)

Ta del standarda IEC 62196 se uporablja za vtiče, vtičnice, konektorje, uvodnice in kabelske sestave na električnih vozilih (v nadaljnjem besedilu: »priključki«), ki so namenjena za sisteme kabelskega napajanja, ki vključujejo krmilno sredstvo z nazivno obratovalno napetostjo, ki ne presega napetosti
– 690 V za izmenični tok, 50–60 Hz, pri nazivnem toku, ki ne presega 250 A,
– 1500 V za enosmerni tok pri nazivnem toku, ki ne presega 400 A.
Te priključke lahko namestijo le poučene osebe (IEC 60050-195:1998, IEC 60050-195/AMD1:2001, 195-04-02) ali ustrezno usposobljene osebe (IEC 60050-195:1998, IEC 60050- 195/AMD1:2001, 195-04-01).
Ti priključki in kabelski sestavi so namenjeni za uporabo pri tokokrogih, navedenih v standardu IEC 61851-1, ki delujejo pri različnih napetostih in frekvencah ter lahko vključujejo malo napetost in komunikacijske signale.
Ti priključki in kabelski sestavi so namenjeni za uporabo pri temperaturi okolja, in sicer med
-30 °C in +50 °C.
OPOMBA 1 V nekaterih državah lahko obstajajo drugačne zahteve.
OPOMBA 2 V naslednji državi velja –35 °C: SE.
Ti priključki se lahko priključijo samo na kable z vodniki iz bakra ali bakrove zlitine.
Priključki, ki jih zajema ta del standarda IEC 62196, se uporabljajo pri nekaterih načinih polnjenja električnih vozil. Ti načini so določeni v standardu IEC 61851-1. Te definicije in ti opisi vrst povezav (primeri A, B in C) so opisani v standardu IEC 61851-1:2010, 6.2 in 6.3.1.
OPOMBA 3 Način 1 ne bo dovoljen v naslednjih državah: ZK, ZDA, CA, SG.
Ta del standarda IEC 62196 ne velja za tiste standardizirane priključke, ki se uporabljajo v polnilnih sistemih, pri katerih je dovoljena uporaba teh priključkov, izdelanih glede na zahteve drugih standardov (npr. v načinu 1 in 2). Taki standardizirani priključki se lahko uporabljajo v situacijah (način in primer), določenih v standardu IEC 61851-1.
Ta del standarda IEC 62196 se lahko uporabi kot vodilo za priključke z manjšim številom kontaktov in nižjimi ocenami za uporabo z lahkimi tovornimi vozili.
