This part of IEC 61643 specifies standard test circuits and methods for thyristor surge
suppressor (TSS) components. These surge protective components, SPCs, are specially
formulated thyristors designed to limit overvoltages and divert surge currents by clamping and
switching actions. These SPCs are used in the construction of surge protective devices
(SPDs) and equipment used in Information & Communications Technologies (ICT) networks
with voltages up to AC 1 000 V and DC 1 500 V. This doc...view more

This document describes the principles for selection, installation and coordination of SPDs intended for use in Photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 1500 V DC and for the AC side of the PV system rated up to 1000 V rms 50/60 Hz.
The photovoltaic installation extends from a PV array or a set of interconnected PV-modules to include the associated cabling and protective devices and the converter up to the connection point in the distribution board or the utility supply point.

In addition to the general requirements of NEN-EN-IEC 60077-2, NEN-EN-IEC 60077-3 gives the rules for circuit-breakers, the main contacts of which are connected to DC power and/or auxiliary circuits. The nominal voltage of these circuits does not exceed 3 000 V DC according to IEC 60850. This part of IEC 60077, together with IEC 60077-2, states specifically: a) the characteristics of the circuit-breakers; b) the service conditions with which circuit-breakers complies with reference to: - operati...view more

The purpose of NEN-EN-IEC 60077-5 is to give additional or amended rules for high voltage (HV) fuses as a supplement to those given by IEC 60077-2. The high voltage fuses concerned are those connected into power and/or auxiliary circuits. The nominal voltage of these circuits lies between 600 V DC and 3 000 V DC, according to IEC 60850. These fuses can also be used in auxiliary AC circuits up to a nominal voltage of 1500 V. This document together with IEC 60077-2 states specifically: a) the char...view more

EN-IEC 61643-331 is a test specification for metal oxide varistors (MOV), which are usedfor applications up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC in power lines, or telecommunication, orsignalling circuits. They are designed to protect apparatus or personnel, or both, from hightransient voltages.This document applies to MOVs having two electrodes and hybrid surge protectioncomponents.
