Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems - Part 5-1: Safety requirements - Electrical, thermal and energy (IEC 61800-5-1:2022 + COR1:2023)

IEC 61800-5-1:2022 specifies requirements for adjustable speed electrical power drive systems (PDS) or their elements, with respect to electrical, thermal, fire, mechanical, energy and other relevant hazards. It does not cover the driven equipment except for interface requirements. It applies to adjustable speed electrical PDS which include the power conversion, basic drive module (BDM)/complete drive module (CDM) control, and a motor or motors.
Excluded are traction and electric vehicle BDM/CDM.
It applies to low-voltage adjustable speed electrical PDS intended to feed a motor or motors from a BDM/CDM connected to phase-to-phase voltages of up to and including 1,0 kV AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and up to and including 1,5 kV DC. It also applies to high-voltage adjustable speed electrical PDS intended to feed a motor or motors from a BDM/CDM connected to phase-to-phase voltages of up to and including 35 kV AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and up to and including 52 kV DC.
This document also applies to PDS which intentionally emits or receives radio waves for the purpose of radio communication.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) harmonization with IEC 62477-1:2022;

b) harmonization with UL 61800-5-1 and CSA C22.2 No. 274, including an annex with a list of national deviation which was considered not possible to harmonize within a reasonable timeframe;

c) more detailed information about the evaluation of components according to this document and relevant safety component standards;

d) updated requirement for mechanical hazards including multiple IP ratings.

Entraînements électriques de puissance à vitesse variable - Partie 5-1: Exigences de sécurité - Electrique, thermique et énergétique (IEC 61800-5-1:2022 + COR1:2023)

L’IEC 61800-5-1:2022 spécifie les exigences relatives aux entraînements électriques de puissance (PDS – power drive system) à vitesse variable ou leurs éléments, en ce qui concerne les dangers électriques, thermiques, d'incendie, mécaniques et énergétiques, et d'autres risques appropriés. Elle ne couvre pas le matériel entraîné, à l’exception des exigences relatives aux interfaces. Elle s'applique aux PDS à vitesse variable qui incluent la conversion de puissance, la commande de module d’entraînement principal (BDM)/module d’entraînement complet (CDM) et un ou plusieurs moteurs.
Les BDM/CDM pour les véhicules électriques et les véhicules de traction sont exclus.
Elle s'applique aux PDS électriques à vitesse variable basse tension destinés à alimenter un ou plusieurs moteurs à partir d'un BDM/CDM relié à des tensions entre phases allant jusqu'à 1,0 kV inclus en courant alternatif (50 Hz ou 60 Hz) et jusqu'à 1,5 kV inclus en courant continu.
Elle s'applique également aux PDS électriques à vitesse variable haute tension destinés à alimenter un ou plusieurs moteurs à partir d'un BDM/CDM relié à des tensions entre phases allant jusqu'à 35 kV inclus en courant alternatif (50 Hz ou 60 Hz) et jusqu'à 52 kV inclus en courant continu.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:

   
1. harmonisation avec l'IEC 62477-1:2022;

   
2. harmonisation avec l'UL 61800-5-1 et la CSA C22.2 N^o 274, incluant une annexe contenant une liste des divergences nationales qui ont été considérées comme étant impossibles à harmoniser dans un délai raisonnable;

   
3. informations plus détaillées relatives à l'évaluation des composants selon l'IEC 61800-5-1 et les normes pertinentes relatives aux composants de sécurité;

   
4. exigences mises à jour concernant les dangers mécaniques, y compris plusieurs classifications IP.

Električni pogonski sistemi z nastavljivo hitrostjo - 5-1. del: Varnostne zahteve - Električne, toplotne in energijske (IEC 61800-5-1:2022 + COR1:2023)

Ta del standarda IEC 61800 določa zahteve za električne pogonske sisteme z nastavljivo hitrostjo (PDS) oziroma njihove elemente v zvezi z električno, toplotno, požarno, mehansko, energijsko nevarnostjo in drugimi pomembnimi nevarnostmi. Ne zajema pogonske opreme, razen zahtev za vmesnike. Uporablja se za električne pogonske sisteme z nastavljivo hitrostjo, ki vključujejo nadzor pretvorbe moči, osnovnega pogonskega modula/celovitega pogonskega modula in motor oziroma motorje.
Ne zajema osnovnega pogonskega modula/celovitega pogonskega modula za vleko in električna vozila.
Uporablja se za nizkonapetostne električne pogonske sisteme z nastavljivo hitrostjo, ki so namenjeni za pogon motorja ali motorjev iz osnovnega pogonskega modula/celovitega pogonskega modula, priključenega na medfazno izmenično napetost do vključno 1,0 kV (50 Hz ali 60 Hz) oziroma medfazno enosmerno napetost do vključno 1,5 kV.
Uporablja se tudi za visokonapetostne električne pogonske sisteme z nastavljivo hitrostjo, ki so namenjeni za pogon motorja ali motorjev iz osnovnega pogonskega modula/celovitega pogonskega modula, priključenega na medfazno izmenično napetost do vključno 35 kV (50 Hz ali 60 Hz) oziroma medfazno enosmerno napetost do vključno 52 kV.
OPOMBA 1: V času objave tega dokumenta je tehnična zgornja meja enosmerne napetosti za motorje na enosmerni tok znašala 2,25 kV.
OPOMBA 2: Vrednosti napetosti in frekvence nad temi mejami spadajo v področje uporabe standarda IEC 61800-1 in standarda IEC 61800-2.
OPOMBA 3: Za električne pogonske sisteme z nastavljivo hitrostjo, ki niso zajeti v področje uporabe tega standarda, je mogoče uporabiti veljavne zahteve drugih standardov, npr. IEC 62477-1 in IEC 62477-2.
Ta dokument se uporablja tudi za električne pogonske sisteme z nastavljivo hitrostjo, ki namenoma oddajajo ali sprejemajo radijske valove za namene radijske komunikacije.
Motorji za pogonsko opremo (glej sliko 1) so zajeti v standardu IEC 60034 (vsi deli).
OPOMBA 4: V nekaterih primerih lahko varnostne zahteve električnega pogonskega sistema z nastavljivo hitrostjo (na primer zaščita pred dostopom do nevarnih delov) zahtevajo uporabo posebnih sestavnih delov in/ali dodatnih ukrepov.
