Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 2: Circuit-breakers (IEC 60947-2:2016)

intended to be connected to circuits, the rated voltage of which does not exceed 1 000 V a.c. or
1 500 V d.c.; it also contains additional requirements for integrally fused circuit-breakers.
Circuit-breakers rated above 1 000 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 500 V a.c. may also be tested to
this standard.
It applies whatever the rated currents, the method of construction or the proposed applications
of the circuit-breakers may be.
The requirements for circuit-breakers which are also intended to provide earth leakage
protection are contained in Annex B.
The additional requirements for circuit-breakers with electronic over-current protection are
contained in Annex F.
The additional requirements for circuit-breakers for IT systems are contained in Annex H.
The requirements and test methods for electromagnetic compatibility of circuit-breakers are
contained in Annex J.
The requirements for circuit-breakers not fulfilling the requirements for over-current protection
are contained in Annex L.
The requirements for modular residual current devices (without integral current breaking
device) are contained in Annex M.
The requirements and test methods for electromagnetic compatibility of circuit-breaker
auxiliaries are contained in Annex N.
The requirements and test methods for d.c. circuit-breakers for use in photovoltaic (PV)
applications are contained in Annex P.
The requirements and test methods for circuit-breakers incorporating residual current
protection with automatic reclosing functions are contained in Annex R.
Supplementary requirements for circuit-breakers used as direct-on-line starters are given in
IEC 60947-4-1, applicable to low-voltage contactors and starters.
The requirements for circuit-breakers for the protection of wiring installations in buildings and
similar applications, and designed for use by uninstructed persons, are contained in
IEC 60898.
The requirements for circuit-breakers for equipment (for example electrical appliances) are
contained in IEC 60934.
For certain specific applications (for example traction, rolling mills, marine service) particular or
additional requirements may be necessary.
NOTE Circuit-breakers which are dealt with in this standard can be provided with devices for automatic opening
under predetermined conditions other than those of over-current and undervoltage as, for example, reversal of
power or current. This standard does not deal with the verification of operation under such pre-determined
conditions.
The object of this standard is to state:
a) the characteristics of circuit-breakers;
b) the conditions with which circuit-breakers shall comply with reference to:
1) operation and behaviour in normal service;
2) operation and behaviour in case of overload and operation and behaviour in case of
short-circuit, including co-ordination in service (selectivity and back-up protection);
3) dielectric properties;
c) tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met and the methods to be
adopted for these tests;
d) information to be marked on or given with the apparatus.

Appareillage à basse tension - Partie 2: Disjoncteurs (IEC 60947-2:2016)

L'IEC 60947-2:2016 est applicable aux disjoncteurs 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; elle contient aussi des exigences supplémentaires pour les disjoncteurs à fusibles incorporés. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2006, l'Amendement 1:2009 et l'Amendement 2:2013. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les additions techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- essais pour la vérification de la sélectivité dans l'Annexe A (voir A.5.3),
- essais de courants de charge critiques pour disjoncteurs à courant continu (voir 8.3.9),
- nouvelle Annexe P relative aux disjoncteurs pour utilisation dans des applications photovoltaïques,
- nouvelle Annexe R relative aux disjoncteurs de courant différentiel résiduel avec fonctions de refermeture automatique.

Nizkonapetostne stikalne naprave - 2. del: Odklopniki (IEC 60947-2:2016)

Zahteve in preskusne metode za odklopnike, ki vključujejo zaščito pred preostalim tokom z avtomatskim ponovnim vklopom, so v dodatku R.
Dodatne zahteve za odklopnike, ki se uporabljajo kot neposredni zaganjalniki, so podane v standardu IEC 60947-4-1, ki se uporablja za nizkonapetostne kontaktorje in zaganjalnike.
Zahteve za odklopnike za zaščito žičnih inštalacij v stavbah ter podobni načini uporabe in odklopnike, ki jih bodo uporabljale nepoučene osebe, so zajete v standardu IEC 60898.
Zahteve za odklopnike za opremo (npr. za električne aparate) so zajete v standardu IEC 60934.
Za določene uporabe (npr. vleka, valjarne, storitve v marinah) lahko veljajo posebne ali dodatne zahteve.
OPOMBA: Odklopniki, ki so obravnavani v tem standardu, imajo lahko naprave za avtomatsko odpiranje v vnaprej določenih pogojih, ki so drugačni od tistih za prenapetost in podnapetost, kot je sprememba moči ali toka. Ta standard ne obravnava preverjanja delovanja v takih vnaprej določenih pogojih.
Namen tega standarda je navesti:
a) značilnosti odklopnikov;
b) pogoje, s katerimi morajo odklopniki izpolnjevati zahteve glede na:
1) delovanje in obnašanje v običajnih pogojih;
2) delovanje in obnašanje pri preobremenitvi ter delovanje in obnašanje v primeru kratkega stika, vključno s koordinacijo delovanja (selektivnost in varnostna zaščita);
3) dielektrične lastnosti;
c) preskuse, katerih namen je potrditi, da so bili ti pogoji in metode izvajanja teh preskusov izpolnjeni;
d) podatke, ki jih je treba označiti na napravi ali jih priložiti napravi.
