28、ASSEMBLIES GUIDE FOR TESTING UNDER CONDITIONS OF ARCING DUE TO INTERNAL FAULT FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

29、 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (he

30、reafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also p

31、articipate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible

32、 an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While

33、all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to

34、apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation

35、of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this

36、publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indir

37、ect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the

38、 correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to p

39、repare International Standards. However, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC/TR 61641, which is a technical repor

40、t, has been prepared by subcommittee SC 121B: Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, of IEC technical committee 121: Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. It constitutes a technical r

41、evision. This third edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: 4 IEC TR 61641:2014 IEC 2014 arcing classes to define the different forms of protection provided against arcing faults; (i) personnel protection, (ii) damage restricted to part of t

42、he ASSEMBLY, and (iii) ASSEMBLY suitable for limited further service.; two levels of personnel protection afforded by ASSEMBLIES under arcing fault conditions; (i) for ASSEMBLIES installed in areas where access to the ASSEMBLY is restricted to skilled persons, and (ii) for ASSEMBLIES installed in ar

43、eas where the area is accessible to ordinary persons; option of individually insulating all live conductors to make the complete ASSEMBLY an arc ignition protected zone (referred to as an arc free zone in previous editions of the Technical report); arc fault protection front, back and sides of an AS

44、SEMBLY as the normal requirement; minimum performance requirements for arc ignition protected zone. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 121B/4/DTR 121B/14/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report ca

45、n be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The readers attention is drawn to the fact that Annex B lists all of the “in-some-country” clauses on differing practices of a less permanent nature r

46、elating to the subject of this Technical Report. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication w

47、ill be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. IEC TR 61641:2014 IEC 2014 5 INTRODUCTION The IEC 61439 series of standards gives rules and requirements for interface characteristics, service conditions, construction, performance and verification of low-voltage switchgear a

48、nd controlgear assemblies, hereafter called ASSEMBLIES. The main objective of these standards is to achieve the safe operation of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies under normal operating conditions as well as under abnormal operating conditions, e.g. occurrence of overvoltages, overl

49、oad or short-circuit currents. Therefore no characteristics, design and verification requirements are given dealing with the case of an arc fault inside the ASSEMBLY. Nevertheless the occurrence of an internal arc cannot completely be excluded. On the rare occasions that they do occur, typically internal arc faults result from: conducting materials inadvertently left in ASSEMBLIES during manufacture, installat
