Electrical measuring transducers for converting AC and DC electrical quantities to analogue or digital signals

IEC 60688:2021 is available as IEC 60688:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60688:2021 applies to transducers with electrical inputs and outputs for making measurements of AC or DC electrical quantities. The output signal can be in the form of an analogue direct current, an analog direct voltage or in digital form.
This document applies to measuring transducers used for converting electrical quantities such as
– current,
– voltage,
– active power,
– reactive power,
– power factor,
– phase angle,
– frequency,
– harmonics or total harmonic distortion, and
– apparent power
to an output signal.
This document is not applicable for
– instrument transformers that complies with IEC 61869 (all parts),
– transmitters for use in industrial process application that complies with IEC 60770 (all parts), and
– performance measuring and monitoring devices (PMD) that comply with IEC 61557 12:2018.
Within the measuring range, the output signal is a function of the measurand. An auxiliary supply can be needed.
This document applies
a) if the nominal frequency of the input(s) lies between 0 Hz and 1 500 Hz,
b) to the electrical measuring transducer if it is part of a system for the measurement of a non-electrical quantity, and if it otherwise falls within the scope of this document, and
c) to transducers for use in a variety of applications such as telemetry and process control and in one of a number of defined environments.
This document is intended:
– to specify the terminology and definitions relating to transducers whose main application is in industry,
– to unify the test methods used in evaluating transducer performance, and
– to specify accuracy limits and output values for transducers.
IEC 60688:2021 cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) updating normative references;
b) additional requirements for specific transducers used for LV monitoring applications;
c) creation of interface coding to ease selection by the end-user.

Transducteurs électriques de mesure convertissant les grandeurs électriques alternatives ou continues en signaux analogiques ou numériques

IEC 60688:2021 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60688:2021 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 60688:2021 s'applique aux transducteurs à grandeurs d'entrées et de sorties électriques destinés à mesurer des grandeurs électriques alternatives ou continues. Le signal de sortie peut être sous la forme d’un courant continu analogique ou d’une tension continue analogique ou d’un signal numérique.
Le présent document s'applique aux transducteurs de mesure destinés à convertir des grandeurs électriques, telles que:
– le courant,
– la tension,
– la puissance active,
– la puissance réactive,
– le facteur de puissance,
– l’angle de phase,
– la fréquence,
– les harmoniques ou la distorsion harmonique totale, et
– la puissance apparente
en signal de sortie.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas:
– aux transformateurs de mesure conformes à la série IEC 61869,
– aux transmetteurs utilisés dans le processus industriel conformes à la série IEC 60770, et
– aux dispositifs de mesure et de surveillance des performances (PMD – performance measuring and monitoring device) conformes à l’IEC 61557-12:2018.
Dans l’étendue de mesure, le signal de sortie varie en fonction du mesurande. Une alimentation auxiliaire peut être nécessaire.
Le présent document s'applique:
a) si la fréquence nominale de la ou des grandeurs d'entrée est comprise entre 0 Hz et 1 500 Hz;
b) à un transducteur de mesure électrique appartenant à une chaîne de mesure d'une grandeur non électrique, et si, par ailleurs, celui-ci relève du domaine d'application du présent document, et
c) aux transducteurs destinés à une utilisation générale, par exemple à la télémesure, à la commande de processus et dans un des nombreux environnements spécifiés.
Le présent document a pour objet:
– de spécifier la terminologie et les définitions relatives aux transducteurs dont l'application principale relève du domaine de l'industrie,
– d'unifier les méthodes d'essai utilisées pour évaluer les performances des transducteurs, et
– de spécifier les limites de précision et les valeurs de sortie des transducteurs.
L'IEC 60688:2021 annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) mise à jour des références normatives;
b) exigences supplémentaires pour les transducteurs spécifiques utilisés pour les applications de surveillance de la BT (basse tension)
c) création d'un codage d'interface pour faciliter la sélection par l'utilisateur final.
