Appareillage à basse tension - Partie 4-1: Contacteurs et démarreurs de moteurs - Contacteurs et démarreurs électromécaniques (CEI 60947-4-1:2009)

La CEI 60947-4-1:2009 est applicable aux types de matériels dont les contacts principaux sont destinés à être reliés à des circuits dont la tension assignée ne dépasse pas 1 000 V en courant alternatif ou 1 500 V en courant continu. Les démarreurs et/ou contacteurs traités dans la présente norme ne sont pas normalement conçus pour interrompre les courants de court-circuit. En conséquence, une protection appropriée contre les courts-circuits  fait partie de l'installation, mais pas nécessairement du contacteur ou du démarreur. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2000 et ses Amendements 1 (2002) et 2 (2005). Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente (2000) et ses Amendements 1 (2002) et 2 (2005):  - suppression de l'essai à -5 °C et +20 °C pour les relais de surcharge thermiques qui ne sont pas compensés pour la température de l'air ambiant;  - ajout de conditions d'essai conformes à l'Annexe Q de la CEI 60947-1;  - essais CEM: clarification des critères d'acceptation et alignement sur la CEI 60947-1 pour le niveau de sécurité pour les transitoires rapides;  - Annexe B, essai pour Icd: modification de la durée de la tension de l'essai diélectrique de 5 s à 60 s;  - Annexe B: amélioration des aspects statistiques de la durabilité électrique;  - Annexe H: clarification et introduction de nouvelles fonctions étendues dans les relais électroniques de surcharge;  - Annexe K, procédure pour déterminer les données des contacteurs électromécaniques utilisés pour les applications de sécurité fonctionnelle: création de cette nouvelle annexe. La présente norme doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 60947-1, Appareillage à basse tension - Partie 1: Règles générales. Les dispositions des règles générales sont applicables à la présente norme, lorsque cela est spécifiquement mentionné.   Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 60947-1 :2007.

Foreword
The text of document 17B/1674/FDIS, future edition 3 of IEC 60947-4-1, prepared by SC 17B,
Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, of IEC TC 17, Switchgear and controlgear, was submitted to the
IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60947-4-1 on 2010-04-01.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with EN 60947-1.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60947-4-1:2001 + A1:2002 + A2:2005.
This EN 60947-4-1 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the
EN 60947-4-1:2001 + A1:2002 + A2:2005:
– deletion of the test at –5 °C and +20 °C for thermal overload relays that are not compensated for
ambient air temperature;
– addition of conditions of the tests according to Annex Q of EN 60947-1;
– EMC tests: clarification of acceptance criteria and alignment with EN 60947-1 for fast transient
severity level;
– Annex B, test for Icd: modification of the duration of the dielectric test voltage from 5 s to 60 s;
– Annex B, electrical durability: improvement of the statistical aspects;
– Annex H: clarification and introduction of new extended functions within electronic overload relays;
– Annex K, procedure to determine data for electromechanical contactors used in functional safety
applications: creation of this new annex.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2011-01-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2013-04-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of
EC Directive 2004/108/EC. See Annex ZZ.
Annexes ZA and ZZ have been added by CENELEC.
