Safety of transformers, reactors, power supply units and combinations thereof - Part 2-26: Particular requirements and tests for transformers and power supply units for saving energy and other purposes

IEC 61558-2-26:2013 deals with the safety of transformers, power supply units and switch mode power supply units all for saving energy and other purposes in electrical installations by adjusting the output voltage and/or other electrical characteristics on the output circuits without interruption affected by the transformers, power supply unit and switch mode power supply unit. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip them for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months from the date of publication.

Sicherheit von Transformatoren, Drosseln, Netzgeräten und deren Kombinationen - Teil 2-26: Besondere Anforderungen und Prüfungen für Transformatoren und Netzgeräte zur Energieeinsparung sowie für andere Zwecke

Sécurité des transformateurs, bobines d’inductance, blocs d’alimentation et des combinaisons de ces éléments - Partie 2-26: Règles particulières et essais pour les transformateurs et les blocs d’alimentation entièrement destinés à l’économie d’énergie et à d’autres fins

La CEI 61558-2-26:2013 traite de la sécurité des transformateurs, des blocs d'alimentation et/ou des blocs d'alimentation à découpage entièrement destinés à l'économie d'énergie et à d'autres fins dans les installations électriques, au moyen d'un réglage de la tension secondaire et/ou d'autres caractéristiques électriques des circuits secondaires sans interruption des transformateurs, des blocs d'alimentation et/ou des blocs d'alimentation à découpage. L'attention des Comités nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication CEI, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de la présente publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois après la date de publication.

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 relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is
