Junction boxes for photovoltaic modules - Safety requirements and tests
IEC 62790:2020 is available as IEC 62790:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 62790:2020 describes safety requirements, constructional requirements and tests for junction boxes up to 1 500 V DC for use on photovoltaic modules in accordance with class II of IEC 61140:2016. This document applies also to enclosures mounted on PV-modules containing electronic circuits for converting, controlling, monitoring or similar operations. Additional requirements concerning the relevant operations are applied under consideration of the environmental conditions of the PV-modules. This document does not apply to the electronic circuits of these devices, for which other IEC standards apply. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Modifications in normative references and terms and definitions; - Improvement of declaration of categories for junction boxes in 4.1; - Clarification for ambient temperature in 4.1; - Addition of requirement to provide information concerning RTE/RTI or TI in 4.2; - Reference to IEC 62930 instead of EN 50618 in 4.6; - Addition of "Functional insulation" in Table 1; - Addition of "Distance through cemented joints" in Table 3; - Correction of procedure of process to categorize material groups (deletion of PTI) in 4.15.2.3; - Requirement for approval of RTE/RTI or TI for insulation parts in 4.16.1 and 4.16.2; - Change of requirements concerning electrochemical potential in 4.17.2; - Clarification for IP-test in 5.3.4.2; - Addition of test voltage for cemented joints in 5.3.6 and 5.3.16; - Addition of detailled description on how to prepare the test sample for the thermal cycle test in 5.3.9.1; - New test procedure for bypass diode thermal test (5.3.18) in accordance with MQT 18.1 of IEC 61215-2:2016; - New test procedure for reverse overload current test in 5.3.23; - New Figure 1 for thermal cycle test.

IEC 62790:2020 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62790:2020 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L’IEC 62790:2020 décrit les exigences de sécurité, les exigences de construction et les essais relatifs aux boîtes de jonction jusqu’à 1 500 V en courant continu utilisées sur des modules photovoltaïques conformes à la classe II de l’IEC 61140:2016. Le présent document s’applique également aux enveloppes montées sur des modules photovoltaïques comportant des circuits électroniques pour la conversion, le contrôle, la surveillance ou opérations similaires. Des exigences supplémentaires concernant les opérations correspondantes sont appliquées en considérant les conditions d’environnement des modules photovoltaïques. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux circuits électroniques de ces dispositifs pour lesquels d’autres normes IEC s’appliquent. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2014. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - Modifications des références normatives et des termes et définitions; - Amélioration de la catégorisation des boîtes de jonction en 4.1; - Clarification de la température ambiante en 4.1; - Ajout de l'exigence prévoyant de fournir les indices RTE/RTI ou IT en 4.2; - Référence à l’IEC 62930 à la place de la référence à l’EN 50618 en 4.6; - Ajout de "l'isolation fonctionnelle" dans le Tableau 1; - Ajout de "ligne de fuite entre les bords du joint scellé" dans le Tableau 3; - Correction de la procédure du processus de catégorisation des groupes de matériaux (suppression de l’ITC) au 4.15.2.3; - Exigence d'approbation des indices RTE/RTI ou IT pour les parties isolantes en 4.16.1 et 4.16.2; - Modification des exigences concernant le potentiel électrochimique en 4.17.2; - Clarification des essais de vérification du code IP au 5.3.4.2; - Ajout de la tension d'essai pour les joints scellés en 5.3.6 et 5.3.16; - Ajout de la description détaillée sur la façon de préparer les éprouvettes pour l'essai de cycle thermique en 5.3.9.1; - Nouvelle procédure d'essai pour l'essai thermique la diode de dérivation (5.3.18) conformément au MQT 18.1 de l’IEC 61215-2: 2016; - Nouvelle procédure d'essai pour l'essai de courant de surcharge inverse au 5.3.23; - Nouvelle Figure 1 pour l'essai de cycle thermique.
