IEC 60947-1:2020 applies, when required by the relevant product standard, to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear hereinafter referred to as "equipment" or “device” and intended to be connected to circuits, the rated voltage of which does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC. This document states the general rules and common safety requirements for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, including: - definitions; - characteristics; - information supplied with the equipment; - normal service, mounting and transport conditions, decommissioning and dismantling; - constructional and performance requirements; - verification of characteristics and performance; - energy efficiency aspects (see Annex V); - environmental aspects. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2007, Amendment 1:2010 and Amendment 2:2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: – DC values testing improvement; – update of EMC tests; – Annex B deletion; – update of requirements for environmental tests (Table Q.1); – improvement of Annex R (new examples); – deletion of digital input Type 2, and introduction of Type 3 in Annex S; – example for materials declaration (Annex W); – new Annex X (co-ordination between short-circuit protective devices associated in the same circuit) created. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2022 and April 2024 have been included in this copy. IEC 60947-1:2020 Lorsque la norme de produit correspondante l’exige, le present document s’applique a l’appareillage basse tension ci-apres designe comme le “materiel” ou le “dispositif”, et destine a etre relie a des circuits dont la tension assignee ne depasse pas 1 000 V en courant alternatif. ou 1 500 V en courant continu. Le present document a pour objet de fixer les regles generales et exigences de securite communes des appareillages basse tension, y compris: – les definitions, – les caracteristiques, – les informations fournies avec le materiel, – les conditions normales de service, de montage, de transport, de mise hors service et de demontage, – les exigences relatives a la construction et au fonctionnement, – la verification des caracteristiques et du fonctionnement, – les aspects lies a l’efficacite energetique (voir Annexe V), – les aspects environnementaux. Cette sixieme edition annule et remplace la cinquieme edition parue en 2007, lAmendement 1:2010 et lAmendement 2:2014. Cette edition constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a ledition precedente: – amelioration des essais relatifs aux valeurs en courant continu, – mise a jour des essais de CEM, – suppression de l’Annexe B, – mise a jour des exigences des essais d’environnement (Tableau Q.1), – amelioration de l’Annexe R (nouveaux exemples), – suppression du type d’entree numerique 2 et insertion du type 3 dans l’Annexe S, – insertion d’un exemple de declaration de matiere dans l’Annexe W, – creation d’une nouvelle Annexe X (coordination des dispositifs de protection contre les courts-circuits associes dans un meme circuit). Le contenu du corrigendum de decembre 2022 et dabril 2024 a ete pris en consideration dans cet exemplaire.
