Plugs, fixed or portable socket-outlets and appliance inlets for industrial purposes - Part 2: Dimensional compatibility requirements for pin and contact-tube accessories
IEC 60309-2:2021 applies to plugs, fixed or portable socket-outlets, and appliance inlets, hereinafter referred to as accessories, with a rated operating voltage not exceeding 1 000 V DC or 1 000 V AC with a frequency not exceeding 500 Hz and a rated current not exceeding 125 A, primarily intended for industrial use, either indoors or outdoors.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 1999, Amendment 1:2005 and Amendment 2:2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
addition of requirements and test for non-solid pins;
additional rating IPX9;
additional marking to indicate neutral terminal and/or earthing terminal.
This document is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60309-1:2021.
Fiches, socles fixes de prise de courant, prises mobiles et socles de connecteur pour usages industriels - Partie 2: Exigences dimensionnelles de compatibilité pour les appareils à broches et alvéoles
L'IEC 60309-2:2021 s’applique aux fiches, socles fixes de prise de courant, prises mobiles et socles de connecteur, ci-après collectivement désignés par le terme "appareils", de tension nominale d’emploi ne dépassant pas 1 000 V en courant continu ou 1 000 V en courant alternatif, de fréquence ne dépassant pas 500 Hz, et de courant nominal ne dépassant pas 125 A, destinés essentiellement aux usages industriels, à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur des bâtiments.
Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 1999, son Amendement 1:2005 et son Amendement 2:2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
ajout d’exigences et d’un essai pour les broches non massives;
ajout du degré de protection IPX9;
marquage supplémentaire pour indiquer la borne du neutre et/ou la borne de terre.
Le présent document est à lire conjointement avec l’IEC 60309-1:2021.
