Electrical equipment for furnaces and ancillary equipment - Part 1: Requirements for application design and installation

This European Standard applies to the application design and installation of electrical equipment, control
circuits and safety-related systems for furnaces which are operated with solid, liquid or gaseous fuels and
their ancillary equipment. It specifies requirements to meet the operating conditions of furnaces, to reduce
the hazards of combustion and to protect the heated systems from damage e.g. by overheating.
Such furnaces and the electrical equipment may be part by way of example of the following plant:
a) water heating systems;
b) steam boiler installations (steam and hot-water boilers) and heat recovery steam boilers;
NOTE 1 The requirements of this standard apply according to the electrical equipment of electrically heated steam
boilers.
NOTE 2 Seagoing vessels and offshore facilities are governed by International Maritime Law and as such are not
within the scope of this standard. These requirements may be used for such facilities.
c) warm air heaters;
d) hot-gas heaters;
e) heat exchanger systems;
f) combustion chambers of stationary turbines;
g) as long as no other standard is applicable for combined heat and power stations, we recommend the
use of the requirements of this standard;
h) This standard may also be used as reference for electrical equipment requirements for thermoprocessing
equipment.
The requirements in this standard are not applicable to electrical equipment for:
i) non-electrically heated appliances and burner control systems for household and similar purposes;
j) furnaces using technologies for the direct conversion of heat into electrical energy;
k) combustion chambers of non-stationary prime movers and turbines;
l) central oil supply systems for individual heating appliances;
m) furnaces using solid fuels for heating purposes for household use with a nominal thermal output up to
1 MW;
n) furnaces which are used to heat process fluids and gasses in chemical plant.
This European Standard may be used as a basis for the requirements placed on electrical equipment for
furnaces, which are excluded from its field of application.

Električna oprema za peči in pomožno opremo - 1. del: Zahteve za zasnovo in vgradnjo

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za zasnovo in vgradnjo električne opreme, krmilnih tokokrogov in z varnostjo povezanih sistemov za peči, ki delujejo na trdna, tekoča ali plinasta goriva, ter njihove pomožne opreme. Določa zahteve za izpolnjevanje operativnih pogojev peči, zmanjšanje nevarnosti zgorevanja in varovanje gretih sistemov pred poškodbami, npr. zaradi pregrevanja.
Take peči in električna oprema so lahko del naslednjih obratov:
a) sistemov za gretje vode;
b) naprav s parnim kotlom (parni in toplovodni kotli) ter parnih kotlov z vračanjem toplote;
OPOMBA 1: Zahteve tega standarda se uporabljajo v skladu z električno opremo električno ogrevanih parnih kotlov.
OPOMBA 2: Pomorska plovila in opremo na odprtem morju ureja mednarodno pomorsko pravo, kot taka pa so zunaj področja uporabe tega standarda. Te zahteve se lahko uporabljajo za tako opremo.
c) grelnikov zraka;
d) plinskih grelnikov;
e) sistemov toplotnih prenosnikov;
f) zgorevalnikov nepremičnih turbin;
g) dokler se za postaje za soproizvodnjo toplote in električne energije ne uporabljajo drugi standardi, priporočamo uporabo zahtev v okviru tega standarda;
h) ta standard se lahko uporablja tudi kot sklicevanje za zahteve glede električne opreme za termopredelovalno opremo.
Zahteve v tem standardu se ne uporabljajo za električno opremo za:
i) neelektrično segrevane aparate ter sisteme s samodejnim nadzorom gorilnikov za gospodinjske in podobne namene;
j) peči, ki uporabljajo tehnologije za neposredno pretvorbo toplote v električno energijo;
k) zgorevalnike premičnih lokomotiv in turbin;
l) centralne sisteme za dobavo olja za posamezne ogrevalne naprave;
m) peči, ki uporabljajo trdna goriva za ogrevanje za gospodinjsko uporabo z nazivnim toplotnim izhodom do 1 MW;
n) peči, ki se uporabljajo za segrevanje procesnih tekočin in plinov v kemičnem obratu.
Ta evropski standard se lahko uporablja kot podlaga za zahteve glede električne opreme za peči, ki so zunaj njegovega polja uporabe.

European foreword
This document (EN 50156-1:2015) has been prepared by CLC/BTTF 132-2 “Revision of EN 50156 “Electrical
equipment for furnaces and ancillary equipment” in cooperation with the National Committee DKE/K 232.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2016-01-26
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2018-01-26
conflicting with this document have to
be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50156-1:2004.
EN 50156-1:2015 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 50156-1:2004:
• harmonization of the definitions to the new version of EN 61508;
• check and updating of the normative references;
• elimination of all normative references to the machinery directive 2006/42/EC;
• alignment to the requirements for safety related system to EN 12952 and EN 12953;
• modifications in Clause 10.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed for
Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).
Requirements of this standard covers the essential safety requirements for limiting devices in the scope of
this standard which are safety accessories in the sense of pressure equipment directive 97/23/EG, which are
classified in the category II and higher.
This standard is the first part of a series of European standards which specify the requirements for
equipment of safety functions for furnaces, especially safety related system to protect personnel, the furnace
with ancillary equipment against hazards related to heat generation, the heated system and to operate
reliably during normal conditions, and abnormal conditions which can be foreseen.
This European Standard has been prepared by the German National Committee with the participation of
experts of other National Committees on the basis of CLC/BT(DE/NOT)140. It is divided into 3 parts under
the generic title “Electrical equipment for furnaces and ancillary equipment”:
• Part 1: Requirements for application design and installation;
• Part 2: Requirements for design, development and type approval of safety-relevant equipment;
• Part 3: Requirements for plant-specific tests of safety-relevant equipment.
This European Standard is based on the EN 61508:2010 “Functional safety of
electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems”, Parts 1 to 7 as a basic safety
standard.

Introduction
This part of the European Standard EN 50156 specifies the requirements and recommendations for the
application design and installation of electrical and control equipment for furnaces and ancillary equipment
and for the systems heated by the thermal energy released in the furnace to ensure:
• safety of personnel, property and the environment;
• consistency of proper function.
The operating conditions of the furnace, the hazards of combustion and the safety of heated systems are
considered.
A safety-related system consisting of safety devices for:
• monitoring of flames and other safety conditions of the firing;
• interrupting the flow of fuel to the furnace;
• ventilating the body of the furnace and the flue gas ducts;
• monitoring of the safety condition of the heated systems (e.g. water level limiter in steam boilers);
may be necessary to ensure proper ignition and combustion of fuel and to avoid the development, existence
and/or ignition of an explosive mixture of fuel and air, and also to avoid damage to the heated systems (see
3.25).
The rating of necessary safety integrity levels is based on EN 61508-1.
Figure 1 is provided as an aid to understanding the relationship between the various elements of furnaces
and their ancillary equipment, the heated systems, the control system and the safety-related systems.
