Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 7-714: Requirements for special installations or locations - External lighting installations

IEC 60364-7-714:2011 applies to the selection and erection of luminaires and lighting installations forming part of an outdoor fixed installation. The origin of the external lighting installation is the supply delivery point of electrical energy by the supply authority or the origin of the circuit supplying the external lighting installation exclusively. The requirements apply to, for example, lighting installations for roads, parks, gardens, places open to the public, sporting areas, illumination of monuments, floodlighting, telephone kiosks, bus shelters, advertising panels, town plans and road signs. The requirements do not apply to: - public street-lighting installations which are part of the public power grid; - temporary festoon lighting; - road traffic signal systems; - and luminaires which are fixed to the outside of a building and are supplied directly from the internal wiring of that building. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1996, and constitutes a technical revision. The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: - clause numbering is aligned with present structure of IEC 60364; - additional protection is required in some cases of equipment incorporating lighting; - more stringent requirements regarding IP degree of protection; - introduction of particular requirements for isolation.

Installations électriques à basse tension - Partie 7-714: Règles pour les installations et emplacements spéciaux - Installations d'éclairage extérieur

La CEI 60364-7-714:2011 s'applique au choix et à la mise en oeuvre des luminaires et des installations d'éclairage faisant partie d'une installation extérieure fixe. L'origine des installations d'éclairage extérieur est le point de livraison de l'énergie électrique par le distributeur ou l'origine du circuit qui alimente exclusivement l'installation d'éclairage extérieur. Les exigences s'appliquent, par exemple, aux installations d'éclairage des rues, parcs, jardins, lieux publics, terrains de sport, pour l'illumination des monuments, pour l'éclairage par projection, aux installations d'éclairage des cabines téléphoniques, abris d'autobus, panneaux publicitaires, plans de ville et panneaux de signalisation routière. Les exigences ne s'appliquent pas: - aux installations d'éclairage public qui font partie du réseau de distribution public; - aux guirlandes lumineuses temporaires; aux systèmes de signalisation routière; - et aux luminaires fixés à l'extérieur des bâtiments et alimentés directement de l'intérieur de ces bâtiments. Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition, publiée en 1996 dont elle constitue une révision technique. Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes: - la numérotation des articles est alignée sur celle de la CEI 60364; - une protection additionnelle est exigée dans certains cas d'appareillages comportant des luminaires; - les exigences concernant les degrés de protection IP sont renforcées; - et des exigences particulières pour le sectionnement ont été introduites.

Nizkonapetostne električne inštalacije - 7-714. del: Zahteve za posebne napeljave ali lokacije - Napeljave za zunanjo razsvetljavo (IEC 60364-7-714:2011)

Posebne zahteve iz tega dela standarda IEC 60364 se uporabljajo za izbiro in namestitev svetilk in napeljav za razsvetljavo, ki so del zunanje stalne inštalacije. Izvor napeljave za zunanjo razsvetljavo je točka za oskrbo z električno energijo dobavitelja ali izvor tokokroga, ki napaja izključno napeljavo za zunanjo razsvetljavo. Zahteve se na primer uporabljajo za napeljave za razsvetljavo za ceste, parke, vrtove, območja, ki so dostopna javnosti, športna igrišča, osvetlitev spomenikov, reflektorsko osvetlitev, telefonske govorilnice, avtobusne postaje, oglaševalske plakate, zemljevide mest in prometne znake. Zahteve se ne uporabljajo za: – napeljave za javno ulično razsvetljavo, ki so del javnega električnega omrežja; – začasno razsvetljavo z lučkami; – sisteme signalizacije v cestnem prometu; – svetilke, ki so pritrjene na fasado stavbe in se napajajo neposredno iz notranjega ožičenja te stavbe. Za napeljave za razsvetljavo bazenov in fontan glejte standard IEC 60364-7-702.

Overview

HD 60364-7-714:2012 (CLC adoption of IEC 60364-7-714:2011) is a harmonized European document setting requirements for low‑voltage external lighting installations. It covers the selection and erection of luminaires and fixed outdoor lighting installations supplied from a dedicated external origin (supply delivery point or circuit origin). This standard applies to lighting for roads, parks, gardens, sporting areas, monuments, floodlighting, bus shelters, advertising panels, town maps and road signs, but excludes public street‑lighting on the public grid, temporary festoon lighting, road traffic signal systems and luminaires supplied directly from a building’s internal wiring.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and origin of supply: Defines the electrical origin of an external lighting installation as the supply authority delivery point or the dedicated circuit origin.
• Protection against electric shock: Supplements IEC 60364 Parts 1–6 with specific measures for outdoors including requirements for automatic disconnection of supply and protective earthing.
• Protective earthing & equipotential bonding: Clarifies that metallic structures not forming part of the lighting installation (e.g., remote fences) need not be connected to the installation earthing terminal.
• Additional protection (RCDs): Requires additional protection by a residual current device (RCD) with rated operating residual current not exceeding 30 mA for equipment incorporating lighting in telephone kiosks, bus shelters, advertising panels, town plans and similar installations.
• Degree of protection (IP): Introduces more stringent IP (ingress protection) requirements for luminaires and associated equipment exposed to external influences.
• Isolation and switching: Specifies particular requirements for isolation and switching of external lighting circuits.
• Mechanical access and security: Enclosures must prevent access to live parts without a tool or key, unless access is restricted to skilled/instructed persons. Doors less than 2.50 m above ground must be locked and provided with additional protection.
• Alignment and updates: Clause numbering aligned with current IEC 60364 structure; this edition supersedes the 1996 version and includes technical revisions.

Practical applications and users

Who uses HD 60364-7-714:2012:

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 relev
