Thermal-links - Requirements and application guide (IEC 60691:2023)
This International Standard is applicable to thermal-links intended for incorporation in electrical
appliances, electronic equipment and component parts thereof, normally intended for use
indoors, in order to protect them against excessive temperatures under abnormal conditions.
NOTE 1 The equipment is not designed to generate heat.
NOTE 2 The effectiveness of the protection against excessive temperatures logically depends upon the position
and method of mounting of the thermal-link, as well as upon the current which it is carrying.
This document may be applicable to thermal-links for use under conditions other than indoors,
provided that the climatic and other circumstances in the immediate surroundings of such
thermal-links are comparable with those in this standard.
This document may be applicable to thermal-links in their simplest forms (e.g. melting strips or
wires), provided that molten materials expelled during function cannot adversely interfere with
the safe use of the equipment, especially in the case of hand-held or portable equipment,
irrespective of its position.
Annex H of this document is applicable to thermal-link packaged assemblies where the thermallink(
s) has already been approved to this standard but packaged in a metallic or non-metallic
housing and provided with terminals/wiring leads.
This document is applicable to thermal-links with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or
DC and a rated current not exceeding 63 A.
The objectives of this document are:
a) to establish uniform requirements for thermal-links,
b) to define methods of test, and
c) to provide useful information for the application of thermal-links in equipment.
This document is not applicable to thermal-links used under extreme conditions such as
corrosive or explosive atmospheres.
This document is not applicable to thermal-links to be used in circuits on AC with a frequency
lower than 45 Hz or higher than 62 Hz.

Protecteurs thermiques - Exigences et guide d'application (IEC 60691:2023)
IEC 60691:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60691:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 60691:2023 s'applique aux protecteurs thermiques destinés à être incorporés dans les appareils électriques, le matériel électronique et ses composants, normalement utilisés en intérieur, afin de les protéger contre les températures excessives lors de conditions anormales.
NOTE 1 Le matériel n'est pas prévu pour produire de la chaleur.
NOTE 2 L'efficacité de la protection contre les températures excessives dépend logiquement de la position et du mode de montage du protecteur thermique ainsi que du courant qui le traverse.
Le présent document peut s'appliquer aux protecteurs thermiques utilisés dans d'autres conditions que celles qui sont réunies en intérieur, tant que les conditions climatiques ou autres de l'environnement immédiat de tels protecteurs thermiques sont comparables à celles de la présente norme.
