It supersedes BS5620:1979 which

9、 is withdrawn. BS5620:1979 specified requirements for650 V single voltage units and for650/1100 V dual voltage units. This revision also specifies requirements for1100V single voltage units. Due cognizance is taken of the relevant requirements of BS4683-2, BS5501-1 and BS5501-5. The standard continu

10、es to ensure interchangeability of plugs in sockets of different makes and to standardize the fixing dimensions of sockets. Whilst specifying some electrical and mechanical requirements, the standard does not purport to provide a fully detailed design. A British Standard does not purport to include

11、all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Attention is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Mines and Quarrie

12、s Act 1954, the Regulations made under these Acts, and also any other appropriate statutory requirements or bye-laws. These place responsibility for complying with certain specific safety requirements on the manufacturer and the user. The addresses of the recognized certification authorities in the

13、UK for Group I (coal mining) apparatus for flameproof safety purposes are as follows: Health and Safety Executive Mining Equipment Certification Service Harpur Hill Buxton Derbyshire SK17 9JN SIRA Certification Service Saighton Lane Saighton Chester CH3 6EG Summary of pages This document comprises a

14、 front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to16, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS5620:1995 BSI 07-1999 1 1 Sco

15、pe This British Standard specifies the constructional and test requirements for200A flameproof restrained and bolted plugs, sockets and plug coupling units suitable for single voltages of650V and1100V and dual voltage of650/1100V. They are primarily intended for use with mining apparatus which is co

16、nnected to its power supply by means of a flexible cable. Three types are covered and designated as: type 1S: 200 A,650 V single voltage, restrained and bolted; type 1D: 200 A,650/1100 V dual voltage, restrained and bolted; type2: 200 A,1100 V single voltage, restrained only. Type1 and2 configuratio

17、ns are not interchangeable. The plugs, sockets and plug coupling units incorporate three power contacts, a pilot contact for electrical interlocking and a scraping earth contact. The dual voltage plugs and sockets are intended for use either on a650V or1100V supply, the appropriate arrangements incl

18、uding selection of voltage by orientation of insulator and pins to ensure non-interchangeability for other than the appropriate voltage. In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items detailed in clause3 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the

19、 definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied. NOTEThe figures in this standard show only those features and dimensions essential for function interchangeability. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisi

20、ons from other publications. These normative references are made at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on the inside back cover. For dated references, only the edition cited applies: any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to thi

21、s British Standard only when incorporated in the reference by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 2.2 Informative references This standard refers to other publications that provide information or guidance.

22、Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Information and requirements to be agreed and to be documented The following information to be supplied by the purchaser shall be f
