Time relays for industrial and residential use - Part 1: Requirements and tests

This part of the IEC 61812 applies to time relays for industrial applications (e.g. control, automation, signal and industrial equipment). It also applies to time relays for automatic electrical controls for use in, on, or in association with equipment for residential and similar use. The term “relay” as used in this standard comprises all types of relays with specified time functions, other than measuring relays.

Zeitrelais (Relais mit festgelegtem Zeitverhalten) für industrielle Anwendungen und für den Hausgebrauch - Teil 1: Anforderungen und Prüfungen

Relais à temps spécifié pour applications industrielles et résidentielles - Partie 1: Exigences et essais

La CEI 61812-1:2011 s'applique aux relais à temps spécifié utilisés dans les applications industrielles (par exemple: équipements industriels de commande, d'automatisme et de signalisation). Elle s'applique également aux relais à temps spécifié de commandes électriques automatiques utilisées comme éléments constitutifs, auxiliaires ou associés aux équipements utilisés dans des applications résidentielles et analogues. Cette édition comprend les modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:  - ajout des termes et définitions les plus couramment utilisés dans le secteur industriel;  - ajout de chronogrammes permettant de mieux expliquer les termes et définitions impliquant une séquence d'événements;  - ajout de dispositions relatives à des applications résidentielles.

Časovni releji za rabo v industriji in bivališčih - 1. del: Zahteve in preskusi

Ta del IEC 61812 velja za časovne releje za uporabe v industriji (npr. nadzor, avtomatizacija, signalna in industrijska oprema). Prav tako velja za časovne releje za avtomatske električne kontrole za uporabo v opremi, na njej ali v povezavi z njo v bivališčih in podobno uporabo. Izraz »rele«, kot se uporablja v tem standardu, zajema vse vrste relejev z nekaterimi časovnimi funkcijami, razen merilnih relejev.

Foreword
The text of document 94/324/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61812-1, prepared by IEC TC 94,
All-or-nothing electrical relays, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by
CENELEC as EN 61812-1 on 2011-06-29.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61812-1:1996 + corrigendum February 1999 + A11:1999 and

EN 61812-1:2011 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 61812-1:1996:
– update of references;
– addition of terms and definitions more commonly used by industry;
– addition of timing charts to help explain terms and definitions involving a sequence of events;
– renumbering of clauses to bring them into a more logical order;
– addition of provisions for residential use.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2012-03-29
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2014-06-29

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
Committ
