Arc welding equipment - Part 1: Welding power sources

This part of IEC 60974 is applicable to power sources for arc welding and allied processes designed for INDUSTRIAL AND PROFESSIONAL USE, and supplied by a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, BATTERY supplied or driven by mechanical means. This document specifies safety and performance requirements of WELDING POWER SOURCES and PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEMS. This document is not applicable to limited duty arc welding and cutting power sources which are designed mainly for use by laymen and designed in accordance with IEC 60974-6. This document includes requirements for battery-powered WELDING POWER SOURCES and BATTERY packs, which are given in Annex O. This document is not applicable to testing of power sources during periodic maintenance or after repair. NOTE 1 Typical allied processes are electric arc cutting and arc spraying. NOTE 2 AC systems having a nominal voltage between 100 V and 1 000 V are given in Table 1 of IEC 60038:2009. NOTE 3 This document does not include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.

Matériel de soudage à l'arc - Partie 1: Sources de courant de soudage

IEC 60974-1:2021 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60974-1:2021 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L’IEC 60974-1:2021 s'applique aux sources de courant de soudage à l'arc et aux procédés connexes conçus pour un usage industriel et professionnel qui sont alimentés sous une tension ne dépassant pas 1 000 V, alimentés par batterie ou entraînés par des moyens mécaniques. Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité et de fonctionnement des sources de courant de soudage et des systèmes de coupage par plasma. Cette sixième édition annule et remplace la cinquième édition parue en 2017 et l'Amendement 1:2019. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente. - Ajout du Tableau 1 avec la liste des termes par référence croisée dans l’ordre alphabétique de la langue source. - Le document de référence des distances d’isolement dans l’air et des lignes de fuite devient IEC 60664-1:2020. - Modification du 6.1.2 et du 6.1.3 afin de respecter le dimensionnement de l’isolation principale spécifié dans l’IEC 60664-1 pour le réseau d’alimentation avec des tensions rationalisées. - Déplacement de l’essai de condensateur anormal du 6.2.2 au nouveau 9.5. - Modification du 6.2.5 du 6.3.6 afin d’utiliser le réseau de mesure du courant de contact pondéré pour une opération de non-lâcher/immobilisation et ajout d’une exigence de tolérance pour la tension d’alimentation. - Nouvelle structure du 16.3 et nouvelle exigence d’exactitude pour la valeur de tension affichée. - Modification de l’Annexe A qui devient une annexe normative et ajout du Tableau A.2 et du Tableau A.3. - Mise à jour rédactionnelle de l’Annexe L pour l'utilisation des symboles normalises. - Nouvelle rédaction du mesurage du rendement et de la puissance en état au ralenti (Annexe M sur la base de l’IEC 62301:2011). - Ajout d’un réseau de mesure pondéré pour une opération de non-lâcher/immobilisation (Annexe N).

Oprema za obločno varjenje - 1. del: Viri varilnega toka (IEC 60974-1:2021)

Ta del standarda IEC 60974 se uporablja za vire toka za obločno varjenje in sorodne postopke, namenjene za INDUSTRIJSKO IN PROFESIONALNO UPORABO, ki se napajajo z napetostjo, manjšo od 1000 V, prek AKUMULATORJA ali mehanskih sredstev.
Ta dokument določa zahteve glede varnosti in zmogljivosti za VIRE VARILNEGA TOKA in PLAZEMSKE REZALNE SISTEME.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za vire toka za obločno varjenje in rezanje za omejeno uporabo, ki so namenjeni predvsem za laično uporabo in so oblikovani v skladu s standardom IEC 60974-6.
Ta dokument vključuje zahteve za akumulatorske VIRE VARILNEGA TOKA in AKUMULATORJE, ki so podane v dodatku O.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za preskušanje virov toka med periodičnim vzdrževanjem ali po popravilu.
OPOMBA 1: Tipični sorodni postopki so električno obločno rezanje in brizganje.
OPOMBA 2: Sistemi AC z nazivno napetostjo od 100 V do 1000 V so podani v preglednici 1 standarda IEC 60038:2009.
OPOMBA 3: Ta dokument ne vključuje zahtev v zvezi z elektromagnetno združljivostjo (EMC).
