6 Marking and other product information
Add the following new paragraph after NOTE 3:
For rail-mounted circuit-breakers, appropriate rail(s) shall be indicated in the manufacturer's
documentation.
8 Requirements for construction and operation
8.1.3 Clearances and creepage distances (see Annex B)
Replace 8.1.3 by the following new 8.1.3:
8.1.3 Clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation
The minimum required clearances and creepage distances are given in Table 4 which is
based on the circuit-breaker being designed for operating in an environment with pollution
degree 2.
Parts of PCBs connected to live parts and protected against pollution by the use of a type 2
protection according to IEC 60664-3 are exempted from this verification.
The insulating materials are classified into material groups on the basis of their comparative
tracking index (CTI) according to IEC 60664-1.
NOTE 1 The comparative tracking index (CTI) is declared by the manufacturer on the basis of tests carried out on
the insulating material.
NOTE 2 Information on the requirements for design of solid insulation is provided in IEC 60664-1.
For clearances on printed wiring material, footnote 3 in Table F.2 of IEC 60664-1:2007
applies. For creepage distances on printed wiring material, the distances from Table F.4 of
IEC 60664-1:2007 for pollution degree 1 can be applied only if protected with a coating
meeting IEC 60664-3 requirements and tests.
