Ta del standarda IEC 61243 velja za ročne dvopolne nizkonapetostne detektorje napetosti z dodatno opremo (krokodilske sponke in odstranljivi vodi), ki se uporabljajo pri stiku z deli električnih sistemov: – za izmenični tok z napetostjo, ki ne presega 1000 V pri nominalnih frekvencah med 16 2 3 Hz in do 500 Hz in/ali
– za enosmerni tok z napetostjo, ki ne presega 1500 V.
OPOMBA Izmenični tokovi z napetostmi, določenimi v tem standardu, se nanašajo na medfazne ali fazne napetosti.
Ta standard ne zajema podaljškov kontaktnih elektrod. Detektorji napetosti, ki jih zajema ta standard, so namenjeni za uporabo v suhih in vlažnih pogojih v zaprtih prostorih ter na prostem. Niso namenjeni uporabi v dežju. Detektorji napetosti, ki jih zajema ta standard, niso namenjeni neprekinjenemu delovanju.
Detektorji napetosti, ki jih zajema ta standard, so namenjeni za uporabo do nadmorske višine 2000 m.
Ta standard zajema tudi določbe za naslednje dodatne funkcije, kadar so te na voljo (glej dodatek B):
– navedba faze,
– navedba vrtilnega polja in
– preverjanje zveznosti.
Standard ne zajema drugih dodatnih funkcij. Detektorji napetosti, ki jih zajema ta standard, se ne obravnavajo kot merilne naprave. Ustrezne varnostne zahteve za merilne naprave so zajete v skupini standardov IEC 61010.
