(Main)Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors
Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This International Standard deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motorcompressors. This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type used complies with this standard, the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the particular appliance standard may not need to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests may be necessary on the final appliance. So far as is practical, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by motorcompressors used in appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, it does not in general take into account - the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision; - playing with the appliances by young children.
Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 2-34: Besondere Anforderungen für Motorverdichter
Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-34: Règles particulières pour les motocompresseurs
La CEI 60335-2-34:2012 traite de la sécurité des motocompresseurs étanches (de type hermétique et hermétique accessible) et, le cas échéant, de leurs systèmes de protection et de commande, qui sont destinés à être utilisés sur les appareils électrodomestiques et analogues et qui sont conformes aux normes applicables à de tels matériels. Elle s'applique aux motocompresseurs soumis à essai séparément, dans les conditions les plus sévères qui peuvent se produire en usage normal, la tension assignée n'étant pas supérieure à 250 V pour les motocompresseurs monophasés et à 480 V pour les autres motocompresseurs. Comme exemples d'appareils équipés de motocompresseurs, on peut citer: - les réfrigérateurs, congélateurs et fabriques de glace (CEI 60335-2-24); - les climatiseurs, pompes à chaleur électriques et déshumidificateurs (CEI 60335-2-40); - les distributeurs commerciaux avec ou sans moyen de paiement (CEI 60335-2-75), - les ensembles montés en usine pour le transfert de chaleur dans des applications de réfrigération, de climatisation ou de chauffage, ou toute combinaison de ces fonctions. La présente norme ne remplace pas les exigences des normes applicables aux appareils dans lesquels des motocompresseurs sont utilisés. Toutefois, si le type de motocompresseur utilisé est conforme à la présente norme, il est possible que les essais pour les motocompresseurs spécifiés dans les normes relatives aux appareils particuliers n'aient pas besoin d'être effectués sur l'appareil ou l'ensemble particulier. Si le dispositif de commande du motocompresseur est associé au dispositif de commande de l'appareil particulier, des essais complémentaires peuvent être nécessaires sur l'appareil final. Mots clé: motocompresseur, hermétique, hermétique accessible
Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-34. del: Posebne zahteve za motorne kompresorje (IEC 60335-2-34:2012)
To točko 1. dela nadomešča naslednje besedilo. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost zatesnjenih motornih kompresorjev (hermetičnega ali polhermetičnega tipa) ter njihovih zaščitnih in nadzornih sistemov, če so nameščeni, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v opremi za gospodinjstvo in podobne namene ter ki so v skladu s standardi, ki veljajo za takšno opremo. Velja za motorne kompresorje, preskušene ločeno, v najhujših razmerah, ki se lahko pojavijo pri običajni rabi, pri čemer nazivna napetost enofaznih motorskih kompresorjev ne presega 250 V in nazivna napetost drugih motornih kompresorjev ne presega 480 V. Ta standard ne nadomešča zahtev posameznih standardov, ki zadevajo določene aparate, v katerih je motorni kompresor. Vendar pa v primeru, da uporabljeni tip motorskega kompresorja v zadevnem aparatu ali sestavu ustreza temu standardu, ni potrebno opraviti preskusov za motorni kompresor, navedenih v zadevnem standardu za aparat. Če je kontrolni sistem motornega kompresorja povezan s kontrolnim sistemom zadevne naprave, bodo morda potrebni dodatni preskusi na končnem aparatu. Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo motorski kompresorji v aparatih, s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne vključuje primerov, ko aparate brez nadzora uporabljajo majhni otroci ali onemogle osebe oziroma ko se otroci igrajo z napravami.

Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by subcommittee 61C:

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which
electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.
For motor-compressors, testing in accordance with this standard is an option and cannot be
required as a precondition for testing the complete appliance, for example by reference in
Clause 24 of a part 2 of IEC 60335. However, testing of the appliance should be reduced if an
incorporated motor-compressor including its protection system or control system, if any,
complies with this standard.
If testing of the motor-compressor includes testing in accordance with Annex AA,
temperatures of the motor-compressor windings, housing and other parts related to the
motor-compressor, such as terminals, internal wiring and insulating materials, are not
measured when the complete appliance in which the motor-compressor is used is tested.
These requirements apply to sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors
with their associated starting, cooling capacity control and protection systems, tested
separately under the most severe conditions of the refrigerating system operation which,
within reasonable limits, could occur in the applications for which they are used.
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 60335-2-34:2013
– 8 – 60335-2-34 © IEC:2012
In particular, the construction detail inspection and locked-rotor testing may be done
separately on the motor-compressor, thereby eliminating the need for inspection and testing
when the motor-compressor is applied to many different appliances and factory-built
assemblies.
Operational tests may also be conducted on the motor-compressor separately in certain
circumstances. The specification for this type testing is provided in Annex AA. However, the
tests of the existing standards relevant to the given kind of application, such as IEC 60335-2-
24 and IEC 60335-2-40, may need to be conducted on the final application and used as the
final determination of acceptability.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type)
motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use
in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards
applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the
most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage
being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motor-
compressors.
NOTE 101 Examples of equipment which contain motor-compressors are
– refrigerators, food freezers and ice makers (IEC 60335-2-24);
– air-conditioners, electric heat pumps and dehumidifiers (IEC 60335-2-40);
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75);
– factory-built assemblies for transferring heat in applications for refrigerating, air-conditioning or heating
purposes or a combination of such purposes.
This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular
appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type
used complies with this standard, the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the
particular appliance standard may not need to be made in the particular appliance or
assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular
