SIST EN IEC 61439-7:2023

Clause 1 of IEC 61439-1:2020 is applicable except as follows. Replacement: This part of IEC 61439 defines the specific requirements for Assemblies for the following applications: marinas, camping sites, market squares and electric vehicle charging stations as follows: - Assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC; - Assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment; - Assemblies operated by ordinary persons (e.g. to plug and unplug of electrical equipment); - Assemblies intended to be installed and used in market squares, marinas, camping sites and other similar sites accessible to the public including temporary installations; - Assemblies intended for charging stations for electric vehicles (AEVCS) for Mode 3 and Mode 4. They are designed to integrate the functionality and additional requirements for electric vehicle conductive charging systems according to IEC 61851-1:2017. NOTE 1 Throughout this document, the terms AMHS (see 3.1.701), ACCS (see 3.1.702), AMPS (see 3.1.703), AEVCS (see 3.1.704) are used for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies intended for use respectively in marinas and similar locations (AMHS), camping sites and similar locations (ACCS), market squares and other similar external public sites (AMPS) and charging stations (AEVCS). The term assemblies is used for indicating all these boards. This standard is not applicable to assemblies intended to be installed on board of ships, houseboats, pleasure crafts and similar vessels. For the correct selection of the switching devices and components, the following standards apply: - IEC 60364-7-709 (AMHS) or - IEC 60364-7-708 (ACCS) or - IEC 60364-7-740 (AMPS) or - IEC 60364-7-722 (AEVCS). This document applies to all assemblies whether they are designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardised and manufactured in quantity. The manufacturing and/or assembling may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer (see 3.10.1 of IEC 61439-1:2020). This document does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components such as circuit breakers, fuse switches, electronic equipment, which comply with their relevant product standards. NOTE 2 Where electrical equipment is directly connected to public low-189 voltage supply system and equipped with an energy meter for billing of the legal provider of the low-voltage supply, additional particular requirements based on national regulations apply, if any. This document does not apply to boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories for household and similar fixed electrical installations as defined in IEC 60670-24.

IEC 61439-1:2020 is available as IEC 61439-1:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 61439-1:2020 lays down the general definitions and service conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics and verification requirements for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. NOTE Throughout this document, the term assembly(s) (see 3.1.1) is used for a low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly(s). For the purpose of determining assembly conformity, the requirements of the relevant part of the IEC 61439 series, Part 2 onwards, apply together with the cited requirements of this document. For assemblies not covered by Part 3 onward, Part 2 applies. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2011. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) clarification that power electric converter systems, switch mode power supplies, uninterruptable power supplies and adjustable speed power drive systems are tested to their particular products standard, but when they are incorporated in assemblies the incorporation is in accordance with the IEC 61439 series of standards; b) introduction of a group rated current for circuits within a loaded assembly and the refocusing of temperature-rise verification on this new characteristic; c) addition of requirements in respect of DC; d) introduction of the concept of class I and class II assemblies regarding protection against electric shock.
