IEC 62040-1:2017 applies to movable, stationary, fixed or built-in UPS for use in low-voltage distribution systems and that are intended to be installed in an area accessible by an ordinary person or in a restricted access area as applicable, that deliver fixed frequency AC output voltage with port voltages not exceeding 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC and that include an energy storage device. It applies to pluggable and to permanently connected UPS, whether consisting of a system of interconnected units or of independent units, subject to installing, operating and maintaining the UPS in the manner prescribed by the manufacturer. This document specifies requirements to ensure safety for the ordinary person who comes into contact with the UPS and, where specifically stated, for the skilled person. The objective is to reduce risks of fire, electric shock, thermal, energy and mechanical hazards during use and operation and, where specifically stated, during service and maintenance. This product standard is harmonized with the applicable parts of group safety publication IEC 62477-1:2012 for power electronic converter systems and contains additional requirements relevant to UPS. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: the reference document has been changed from IEC 60950-1:2005 (safety for IT equipment) to IEC 62477-1 (group safety standard for power electronic converters). The contents of the corrigendum of October 2019 have been included in this copy. IEC 62040-1:2017 sapplique aux ASI mobiles, stationnaires, fixes ou integrees destinees a une utilisation dans des reseaux de distribution basse tension et a etre installees dans une zone accessible par une personne ordinaire ou une zone dacces restreint, selon le cas, qui fournissent une tension de sortie en courant alternatif a frequence fixe avec des tensions au niveau de la connexion ne depassant pas 1 000 V en courant alternatif ou 1 500 V en courant continu, et qui incluent un dispositif de stockage de lenergie. Elle sapplique aux ASI alimentees par une prise de courant et aux ASI raccordees en poste fixe, quelles soient sous la forme dun systeme dequipements interconnectes ou dequipements independants destines a etre installes, a fonctionner et a etre entretenus de la maniere prescrite par le constructeur. Le present document specifie des exigences destinees a garantir la securite des personnes ordinaires qui peuvent entrer en contact avec lASI et, lorsque cela est specifiquement precise, des personnes qualifiees. Lobjectif est de reduire les risques dincendie, de choc electrique, ainsi que les risques thermiques, mecaniques ou lies au niveau denergie pendant lutilisation, le fonctionnement et, si specifiquement indique, pendant lentretien et la maintenance. Cette norme de produits a ete harmonisee avec les parties applicables de la publication groupee de securite IEC 62477-1:2012 relative aux systemes electroniques de conversion de puissance et contient des exigences supplementaires pertinentes pour les ASI. Cette edition inclut la modification technique majeure suivante par rapport a ledition precedente: le document de reference nest plus lIEC 60950-1:2005 (securite applicable aux materiels de traitement de linformation) mais lIEC 62477-1 (norme groupee de securite applicable aux convertisseurs electroniques de puissance). Le contenu du corrigendum doctobre 2019 a ete pris en consideration dans cet exemplaire.
