52 FOREWORD
53 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
54 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
55 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
56 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
57 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
58 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
59 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non -
60 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
61 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
62 agreement between the two organizations.
63 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
64 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
65 interested IEC National Committees.
66 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
67 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
68 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
69 misinterpretation by any end user.
70 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
71 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
72 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
73 the latter.
74 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
75 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
76 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
77 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
78 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
79 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
80 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
81 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
82 Publications.
83 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
84 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
85 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
86 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
87 International Standard IEC 61439-5 has been prepared by subcommittee SC121B: Low-
88 voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, of IEC technical committee 121: Switchgear
89 and controlgear.
90 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. It constitutes a

127 1 Scope
128 This part of IEC 61439 defines the specific requirements for public electricity network
129 distribution assemblies (PENDAs).
130 PENDAs have the following criteria:
131 – used for the distribution of electrical energy in three phase systems for which the rated
132 voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC (see Figure 101 for a typical distribution network)
133 and DC systems not exceeding 1500 V DC;
134 – stationary;
135 – open type assemblies are not covered by this document;
136 – suitable for installation in places where only skilled persons have access for their use,
137 however, outdoor types may be installed in situations that are accessible to ordinary
138 persons;
139 – intended for use in energy distribution in public power grids
140 - indoor use: assemblies for installation inside of electric power substations
141 - outdoor use: assemblies containing an enclosure suitable for open air installation
142 The object of this document is to state the definitions and to specify the service conditions,
143 construction requirements, technical characteristics and tests for PENDAs. Network
144 parameters may require tests at higher performance levels.
145 PENDAs may also include control and or signalling devices associated with the distribution of
146 electrical energy.
147 NOTE Control and monitoring devices can be used in smart grid applications or the transmission of smart grid data.
148 This document applies to all PENDAs whether they are designed, manufactured on a one-off
149 basis or fully standardised and manufactured in quantity.
150 The manufacture and/or assembly may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer
151 (see 3.10.1 of IEC 61439-1:2020).
152 This document does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as
153 motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which comply with the relevant
154 product standards.
155 If the substation is owned or operated by a public distribution system operator (DSO),
156 PENDA’s which are used as LV distribution panels in transformer substations are within the
157 scope of this standard,
158 This document does not apply to specific types of assemblies covered by other parts of
159 IEC 61439 series.
