TAN - // IEC Corrigendum

This part of 60309 applies to a single type of plug, socket-outlet, ship connector and ship
inlet, hereinafter referred to as accessories, intended to connect ships to dedicated shore
supply systems described in IEC/IEEE 80005-3.
This part of IEC 60309 applies to three-phase accessories with an earth contact and with four
pilot contacts.
NOTE 1 In the following countries the term “ground” is used instead of “earth": US.
These accessories have a maximum rated current of 350 A and a maximum rated operating
voltage not exceeding 690 V 50/60 Hz.
NOTE 2 The various operating currents, voltages and frequencies required for various types of ship are set by the
shore supply system described in IEC/IEEE 80005-3.
These accessories are intended to be installed and operated by instructed persons
(IEC 60050-195:1998, Amendment 1:2001, 195-04-02) or skilled persons
(IEC 60050-195:1998, Amendment 1:2001, 195-04-01) only.
This standard applies to accessories for primary use outdoors in a seawater environment
when the ambient temperature is normally within the range of −25 °C to +40 °C.
NOTE 3 In some countries, other ambient temperatures may prevail and may need to be taken into account.
These accessories are intended to be connected to cables of copper or copper alloy only.
Socket-outlets or ship inlets incorporated in or fixed to electrical equipment which is part of
the shore connection system are within the scope of this standard.
In locations where special conditions prevail, for example where explosions are liable to
occur, additional requirements may be necessary.

The purpose of this document is to provide requirements for equipment to be used in energy
efficiency systems. This document covers load-shedding equipment (LSE).
Guidelines relating to safety for LSE as given in IEC Guide 110 have been followed.
This document applies to load-shedding equipment for household and similar uses. The loadshedding
function is used in energy management systems to optimize the overall use of
electrical energy including production and storage. Load-shedding can be used for example
for energy efficiency purposes as per IEC 60364-8-1:2019.
This document applies to LSE for operation under normal conditions:
– AC circuits with a rated frequency of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or both, with a rated voltage not
exceeding 440 V (between phases), a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated
short-circuit capacity not exceeding 25 000 A; or
– DC circuits1.
LSEs are intended to control the energy supplied to one or more load, circuit or mesh when:
– defined conditions of time and current are reached;
– a command or information from an external system is received.
An LSE is intended to serve as:
– a single equipment having all the necessary means able to control the loads (e.g. the
electrical energy management function is embedded in such an equipment); or
– a unit integrated into a more complex equipment or an independent equipment being part
of an electrical energy management system (EEMS); or
– an assembly of independent equipment forming an LSE (e.g. an LSE with external current
sensors); or
– as a combination of the above points.
LSE can have a wireless interface.
LSE is part of the fixed installation.
NOTE 1 This document covers load shedding equipment in the fixed installations including portable appliances
connected thereto.
LSE are intended for use in circuits with protection against electrical shock and over-current
according to IEC 60364 (all parts).
NOTE 2 For example, fault protection (indirect contact protection) can be covered as follows:
– in TT systems, by an upstream RCBOs or RCCBs according to IEC 61008-1 and IEC 61009-1;
– in a TN system, by an upstream over-current protective device.
LSEs do not, by their nature, provide an isolation function nor the over-current protection.
LSEs are normally installed by instructed persons (IEC 60050-195:1998, 195-04-02) or skilled
persons (IEC 60050-195:1998, 195-04-01) and normally used by ordinary persons
(IEC 60005-195:1998, 195-04-03).
This document contains all requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the operational
characteristics required by type tests for LSEs based on single equipment or based on an
assembly of independent equipment.
These requirements apply for standard conditions of temperature and environment as given
in 5.1. They are applicable to LSEs with a degree of protection of IP 20 intended for use in an
environment with pollution degree 2. For LSE having a degree of protection higher than IP 20
according to IEC 60529, for use in locations where arduous environmental conditions prevail
(e.g. excessive humidity, heat or cold or deposition of dust) and in hazardous locations (e.g.
where explosions are liable of occur), special construction can be required.
If other functions are included in LSE, these functions are covered by the relevant standards.
This document does not address communication aspects such as protocols, interoperability,
data security and any other related aspects.

This document applies to two-wire, up to five-wire installation couplers, including earth, if
provided, with a rated voltage up to and including 500 V AC or DC and a rated connecting
capacity up to and including 10 mm2 for permanent connection in electrical installations.
Installation couplers with additional contacts for voltages other than mains voltages are
outside the scope of this document.
An installation coupler consists of an installation female connector and an installation male
connector for permanent connection not intended to be engaged or disengaged under load
nor to be engaged or disengaged other than during first installation or during reconfiguration
or maintenance of the wiring system in which installation couplers have been installed. This
means that installation couplers are only intended for infrequent use.
Installation couplers are not suitable for use in place of socket-outlet systems. Installation
couplers are not suitable for use in place of devices for connecting luminaires (DCLs)
according to IEC 61995 (all parts) or in place of luminaire supporting couplers (LSCs).
Installation couplers complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient
temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period does not exceed
+35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C, either for indoor or outdoor
use.
NOTE 1 Additional tests for use in cold climates are under consideration.
NOTE 2 For other temperatures, necessary information can be given in the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
In locations where special conditions prevail, as in ships, vehicles and the like and in
hazardous locations, for example where explosions are liable to occur, special constructions
can be required.
NOTE 3 Installation couplers are intended to be installed by instructed or skilled persons.

This document is applicable to mechanical switching devices designed as "circuit-breakers for equipment" (CBE) for household and similar applications. CBEs according to this document are intended to provide protection to circuits within electrical equipment including its components (e.g. motors, transformers, internal wiring). This document covers also CBEs applicable for protection of electrical equipment in case of undervoltage and/or overvoltage. This document also covers CBEs which are suitable for isolation.

CBEs may have a conditional short-circuit current (Inc) rating in association with a specified short-circuit protective device (SCPD). A guide for coordination of a CBE associated in the same circuit with a SCPD is given in Annex F. For CBEs having a degree of protection higher than IP20 according to IEC 60529, for use in locations where hazardous environmental conditions prevail (e.g. excessive humidity, heat or cold or deposition of dust) and in hazardous locations (e.g. where explosions are liable to occur), special constructions may be required. This document contains all the requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the operational characteristics required for these devices by type tests. It also contains the details relative to test requirements and methods of testing necessary to ensure reproducibility of test results. This document states: a) the characteristics of CBEs; b) the conditions with which CBEs shall comply, with reference to: 1) their operation and behaviour in normal service; 2) their operation and behaviour in case of overload; 3) their operation and behaviour in case of short-circuits up to their rated short-circuit capacity; 4) their dielectric properties; c) the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met and the methods to be adopted for the tests; d) the data to be marked on the devices; e) the test sequences to be carried out and the number of samples to be submitted for certification purposes (see Annex C); f) the routine tests to be carried out to reveal unacceptable variations in material or manufacture, likely to affect safety (see Annex I).

This International Standard applies to in-cable control and protection devices (IC-CPDs) for
mode 2 charging of electric road vehicles, hereafter referred to as IC-CPD including control
and safety functions.
This standard applies to portable devices performing simultaneously the functions of detection
of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating
value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value.
The IC-CPD according to this standard
• has a control pilot function controller in accordance with IEC TS 62763;
• checks supply conditions and prevents charging in case of supply faults under
specified conditions;
• may have a switched protective conductor.
These IC-CPDs are intended for use in TN-, and TT-systems.
The use of IC-CPDs in IT systems may be limited.
Residual currents with frequencies different from the rated frequency, d.c. residual currents
and specific environmental situation are considered.
This standard is applicable to IC-CPDs performing the safety and control functions as
required in IEC 61851-1 for mode 2 charging of electric vehicles.
This standard is applicable to IC-CPDs for single-phase circuits not exceeding 250 V or multiphase
circuits not exceeding 480 V, their maximum rated current being 32 A.
NOTE 1 In Denmark, the following additional requirement applies: for IC-CPDs supplied with a plug for household
and similar use the maximum charging current is 8 A, if the charging cycle can exceed 2 h.
NOTE 2 In Finland, the following additional requirement applies: for IC-CPDs supplied with a plug for household
and similar use the maximum charging current is 8 A for long lasting charging.
This standard is applicable to IC-CPDs to be used in a.c. circuits only, with preferred values
of rated frequency 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz. IC-CPDs according to this standard are not
intended to be used to supply electric energy towards the connected grid.
This standard is applicable to IC-CPDs having a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30 mA and are intended to provide additional protection for the circuit downstream
of the IC-CPD in situations where it cannot be guaranteed that the installation is equipped
with an RCD with IΔn ≤ 30 mA.
The IC-CPD consists of:
• a plug for connection to a socket-outlet in the fixed installation;
• one or more subassemblies containing the control and protection features;
• a cable between the plug and the subassemblies (optional);
• a cable between the subassemblies and the vehicle connector (optional);
• a vehicle connector for connection to the electric vehicle.

ensured by disconnecting the plug.
The IC-CPD may have a non-replaceable integral fuse in the phase(s) and/or neutral current
path.

IEC Corrigendum

This International Standard applies to residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection functionally independent of, or functionally dependent on, line voltage for household and similar uses (hereafter referred to as RCBOs), for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V a.c. with rated frequencies of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz and rated currents not exceeding 125 A and rated short-circuit capacities not exceeding 25 000 A for operation at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. These devices are intended to protect people against indirect contact, the exposed conductive parts of the installation being connected to an appropriate earth electrode and to protect against overcurrents the wiring installations of buildings and similar applications. They may be used to provide protection against fire hazards due to a persistent earth fault current, without the operation of the overcurrent protective device. RCBOs having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA are also used as a means for additional protection in the case of failure of the protective means against electric shock. This standard applies to devices performing simultaneously the function of detection of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value, and also of performing the function of making, carrying and breaking overcurrents under specified conditions. RCBOs of the general type are resistant to unwanted tripping, including the case where surge voltages (as a result of switching transients or induced by lightning) cause loading currents in the installation without occurrence of flashover. RCBOs of type S are considered to be sufficiently proof against unwanted tripping even if the surge voltage causes a flashover and a follow-on current occurs. RCBOs are suitable for isolation. RCBOs complying with this standard, with the exception of those with an uninterrupted neutral, are suitable for use in IT systems. Special precautions (e.g. lightning arresters) may be necessary when excessive overvoltages are likely to occur on the supply side (for example in the case of supply through overhead lines) (see IEC 60364-4-44). This standard also applies to RCBOs obtained by the assembly of an adaptable residual current device with a circuit-breaker. The mechanical assembly shall be effected in the factory by the manufacturer, or on site, in which case the requirements of Annex G shall apply. It also applies to RCBOs having more than one rated current, provided that the means for changing from one discrete rating to another is not accessible in normal service and that the rating cannot be changed without the use of a tool. Supplementary requirements may be necessary for RCBOs of the plug-in type. Particular requirements are necessary for RCBOs incorporated in or intended only for association with plugs and socket-outlets or with appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes and if intended to be used at frequencies other than 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This standard does not apply to: - RCBOs intended to protect motors; - RCBOs the current setting of which is adjustable by means accessible to the user in normal service. The requirements of this standard apply for normal environmental conditions. Additional requirements may be necessary for RCBOs used in locations having severe environmental conditions. RCBOs including batteries are not covered by this standard. A guide for the coordination of RCBOs with fuses is given in Annex F.
