51 FOREWORD
52 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
53 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
54 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
55 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
56 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
57 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
58 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
59 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
60 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
61 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
62 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
63 interested IEC National Committees.
64 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
65 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
66 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
67 misinterpretation by any end user.
68 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
69 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
70 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
71 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
72 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
73 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
74 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
75 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
76 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
77 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
78 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
79 Publications.
80 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
81 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
82 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
83 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
84 International standard IEC 61558-2-20 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 96:
85 Transformers, reactors, power supply units and combinations thereof.
86 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition
87 constitutes a technical revision.
88 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
89 edition:
90 a) Adjustment of structure and references in accordance with IEC 61558-1:2017
91 b) Additional Annex AA with references for characteristic parameter measurements

129 INTRODUCTION
130 IEC TC 96 has a group safety function in accordance with IEC Guide 104 for transformers other
131 than those intended to supply distribution networks, in particular transformers and power supply
132 units intended to allow the application of protective measures against electric shock as defined
133 by TC 64, but in certain cases including the limitation of voltage and horizontal safety function
134 for SELV, in accordance with IEC 60364-4-41.
135 The group safety function (GSF) is necessary because of responsibility for safety extra-low
136 voltage (SELV) in accordance with IEC 61140:2016, 5.2.6 and IEC 60364-4-41:2017, 414.3.1
137 or control circuits in accordance with IEC 60204-1:2016, 7.2.4.
138 The group safety function is needed for each part of IEC 61558-2 because different standards
139 of the IEC 61558 series can be combined in one construction but in certain cases with no
140 limitation of rated output power.
141 For example an auto-transformer in accordance with IEC 61558-2-13 can be designed with a
142 separate SELV-circuit in accordance with the particular requirements for IEC 61558-2-6 relating
143 to the general requirements of IEC 61558-1.

148 Part 2-20: Particular requirements and tests for small reactors
149
150
151 1 Scope
152 Replacement
153 This part of IEC 61558 deals with the safety of small reactors for general applications. Small
154 reactors incorporating electronic circuits are also covered by this document.
155 NOTE 1 Safety includes electrical, thermal and mechanical aspects.
156 Unless otherwise specified, from here onward, the term transformer or reactor covers small
157 reactors.
158 This document is applicable to stationary or portable, single-phase or polyphase, air-cooled
159 (natural or forced) general purpose reactors including alternating current, premagnetised and
160 current compensated independent or associated dry-type reactors. The windings can be
161 encapsulated or non-encapsulated.
162 The rated supply voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V ripple-free DC, the rated
163 supply frequency and the internal operating frequencies do not exceed 100 MHz.
164 The rated power does not exceed:
165  25 kVAR AC (25 kW DC) for single-phase reactors,
166  50 kVAR AC (50 kW DC) for poly-phase reactors.
167 This document is applicable to reactors without limitation of the rated power subject to an
168 agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
169 This document does not apply to:
170  reactors covered by IEC 60076-6;
171  ballast for tubular fluorescent covered by IEC 61347-2-8;
172  ballast for discharge lamps (excluding tubular fluorescent lamps) covered by
173 IEC 61347-2-9.
174 NOTE 2 For reactors filled with liquid dielectric or pulverised material such as sand, additional requirements are
175 under consideration.
176 NOTE 3 Normally, reactors are intended to be associated with equipment for functional requirements of the
177 equipment or requirements by the installation rules or by other appliance specifications. The protection against
178 electric shock may be provided or completed by other parts or features of the equipment, such as the body.
179 NOTE 4 Reactors for particular applications will in the future be covered by complementary normative annexes.
180 Attention is drawn to the following if necessary:
181  for reactors intended to be used in vehicles, on board ships, and aircraft, additional
182 requirements (from other applicable standards, national rules, etc.);
183  measures to protect the enclosure and the components inside the enclosure against
184 external influences such as fungus, vermin, termites, solar-radiation, and icing;
185  the different conditions for transportation, storage, and operation of the reactors;

186  additional requirements in accordance with other appropriate standards and national
187 rules may be applicable to reactors intended for use in special environments.
188 Future technological development of reactors may necessitate a need to increase the upper
189 limit of the frequencies. Until then this document may be used as a guidance document.
190 This GROUP SAFETY PUBLICATION focusing on SAFETY guidance is primarily intended to
191 be used as a PRODUCT SAFETY STANDARD for the products mentioned in the scope, but is
192 also intended to be used by TCs in the preparation of publications for products similar to those
193 mentioned in the scope of this GROUP SAFETY PUBLICATION, in accordance with the
194 principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51.
195 One of the RESPONSIBILITIES of a TC is, wherever applicable, to make use of BSPs and/or
196 GSPs in the preparation of its publications.
