20、 national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote 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, Tec

21、hnical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter 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 wo

22、rk. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate 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

23、) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, 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 recommen

24、dations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While 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 e

25、nd user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to 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 public

26、ation shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation 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 independ

27、ent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this 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 per

28、sonal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, 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 re

29、ferences cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the 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 f

30、or identifying any or all such patent rights.

37、l as the following apply. 3.1 welding clamp work clamp, US return current clamp, UK device connecting welding cable to workpiece 3.2 rated current current assigned by the manufacturer that the welding clamp can accept at 60 % duty cycle without exceeding the permitted temperature rise 3.3 retaining

38、means mechanical arrangement that holds the welding clamp in position and prevents an unintentional withdrawal, when properly attached to the workpiece 4 Environmental conditions The welding clamp shall be capable of operation when the following environmental conditions prevail: 6 60974-13 IEC:2011

39、a) range of ambient air temperature : during operation: 10 C to +40 C; b) relative humidity of the air: up to 50 % at 40 C; up to 90 % at 20 C. The welding clamp shall withstand storage and transport at an ambient air temperature of 20 C to + 55 C without any damage to function and performance. 5 Ty

40、pe tests 5.1 Test conditions All type tests shall be carried out on the same new and completely assembled welding clamp. All type tests shall be carried out at an ambient air temperature between 10 C and 40 C. 5.2 Measuring instruments The accuracy of measuring instruments shall be: a) electrical me

41、asuring instruments: class 1 ( 1 % of full-scale reading), except for the measurement of insulation resistance and dielectric strength where the accuracy of the instruments is not specified, but shall be taken into account for the measurement; b) thermometer: 2 K. 5.3 Test sequence The type tests gi
