Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification - Part 1: Requirements for construction

IEC 61730-1:2016 specifies and describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation. Specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. This part of IEC 61730 pertains to the particular requirements of construction. IEC 61730-2 defines the requirements of testing. This International Standard series lays down IEC requirements of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates. This standard is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - adaption of horizontal standards and inclusion of IEC 60664 and IEC 61140; - implementation of insulation coordination, overvoltage category, classes, pollution degree and material groups definition of creepage, clearance and distance through insulation.

Photovoltaik (PV) Module - Sicherheitsqualifikation - Teil 1: Anforderungen an den Aufbau

Qualification pour la sûreté de fonctionnement des modules photovoltaïques (PV) - Partie 1: Exigences pour la construction

L'IEC 61730-1:2016 spécifie et décrit les exigences fondamentales de construction pour les modules photovoltaïques (PV) afin de fournir un fonctionnement électrique et mécanique sûr. Des thèmes spécifiques sont fournis pour évaluer la prévention contre les chocs électriques, les risques de feu et les accidents corporels dus à des contraintes mécaniques et environnementales. La présente partie de l'IEC 61730 se rapporte aux exigences particulières de construction. L'IEC 61730-2 présente les exigences d'essais. La présente série de Normes internationales établit les exigences de l'IEC en matière de modules photovoltaïques pour application terrestre adaptés à une utilisation longue durée dans les climats généraux d'air libre. La présente Norme est destinée à s'appliquer à tous les matériels à module à plaque plane pour application terrestre (les types de modules au silicium cristallin et les modules en couches minces, par exemple). Cette nouvelle édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - adaptation des normes horizontales et intégration de l'IEC 60664 et de l'IEC 61140; - intégration des concepts de coordination de l'isolement, de catégorie de surtension, de classes, de degré de pollution et de groupes de matériaux; définition des lignes de fuite, de la distance d'isolement et de la distance à travers l'isolation.

Varnostna ocena fotonapetostnega (PV) modula - 1. del: Konstrukcijske zahteve

Ta del standarda IEC 61730 določa in opisuje temeljne konstrukcijske zahteve za fotonapetostne (PV) module, da se zagotovi njihovo varno električno in mehansko delovanje. Podane so specifične teme na področju ocene preprečevanja električnega udara, požarne ogroženosti in osebnih poškodb zaradi mehanskih in okoljskih obremenitev. Ta del standarda IEC 61730 se nanaša na posebne gradbene zahteve. Standard IEC 61730-2 določa zahteve za preskušanje.
Ta skupina mednarodnih standardov določa zahteve IEC glede prizemnih fotonapetostnih modulov, primernih za dolgotrajno uporabo v okoljih na prostem. Ta standard je namenjen za uporabo za vse materiale ploščatih prizemnih modulov, kot so vrste modulov iz kristalnega silicija in tankoplastni moduli.
Fotonapetostni moduli, ki jih zajema ta standard, so omejeni na maksimalno napetost v enosmernem sistemu 1500 V.
Ta mednarodni standard določa osnovne zahteve za različne načine uporabe fotonapetostnih modulov, vendar ne zajema vseh nacionalnih in regionalnih predpisov. Specifične zahteve, npr. za uporabo pri gradnji, na morju in v vozilih, niso zajete.
Ta mednarodni standard se ne ukvarja s posebnimi zahtevami za proizvode, v katerih je fotonapetostni modul združen z opremo za pretvorbo energije, elektroniko za nadzor ali kontrolo, kot so vgrajeni inverterji, pretvorniki ali funkcije za onemogočanje izhoda.
Čeprav se lahko deli tega standarda uporabljajo za ploščate fotonapetostne module z notranje ustvarjeno nizko koncentracijo, ki je manjša od 3-kratne, ta standard ni bil oblikovan posebej za te primere.
Ta mednarodni standard je oblikovan tako, da je usklajen s preskusnimi zaporedji iz skupine standardov IEC 61215, zato se lahko za vrednotenje varnosti in učinkovitosti projektiranja fotonapetostnih modulov uporabi ena sama skupina vzorcev.
Namen tega mednarodnega standarda je določanje zahtev za izdelavo fotonapetostnih modulov v zvezi z varnostjo. Te zahteve so namenjene za zmanjšanje nepravilnega delovanja in nepravilne uporabe fotonapetostnih modulov ali odpovedi njihovih sestavnih delov, kar bi lahko povzročilo požar, električni udar in telesne poškodbe.
Poleg zahtev, ki jih vključuje ta standard, je treba upoštevati dodatne konstrukcijske zahteve, podane v relevantnih standardih ISO, ali nacionalne oziroma lokalne predpise, ki urejajo namestitev in uporabo teh fotonapetostnih modulov na njihovih predvidenih lokacijah.
