17、tional 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, Techni
18、cal 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 work.
19、 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)
20、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 recommenda
21、tions 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 end
22、 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 publicat
23、ion 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 independen
24、t 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 perso
25、nal 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 refe
26、rences 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 for
27、 identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare 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 Int
28、ernational Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC TR 63054, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 121A: Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 121: Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage. The text of this technical
29、report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 121A/115/DTR 121A/155/RVDTR Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. 4 IEC TR 63054:2017 IEC 2017 This document has been draft
30、ed in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document will b
31、e reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. IMPORTANT The colour inside logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct unde
32、rstanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer. IEC TR 63054:2017 IEC 2017 5 INTRODUCTION As fire-ignition hazards are inherent with electricity, installation rules and product standards for electrical equipment are aimed at providing risk reduction meas
33、ures and minimizing residual risk without compromising product safety and function. Residual risk of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear compliant with IEC 60947 relevant publications is generally low and, when selected, installed and used according to manufacturer instruction and installation ru
34、les, do not ignite fire in normal operation or reasonably foreseeable fault conditions. This document, in accordance to ISO/IEC Guide 51 and IEC Guide 116, describes the fire risk analysis of electrical equipment and risk reduction measures in IEC 60947 relevant publications. While intended to apply
35、 specifically to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, it is suggested that other product committees may find this information useful. The fire hazards, namely the flame ignition mechanisms, relevant for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear are reviewed and discussed. The related risk reduction
36、measures included in IEC 60947 relevant publications are subsequently reported for each of those mechanisms. These measures are based on a system approach, not limited to construction materials requirements and include design rules and type testing to ensure equipment do not cause fires in normal op
37、eration or due to reasonably foreseeable faulty conditions. 6 IEC TR 63054:2017 IEC 2017 LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR FIRE RISK ANALYSIS AND RISK REDUCTION MEASURES 1 Scope This document applies to the fire risk analysis of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear (hereinafter referred to as
38、 “equipment“) referring to the IEC 60947 relevant publications, where the following applies: only the case where a fire originates (typically under fault or misuse conditions) within the equipment; only equipment installed in normal environments. Hazardous environments, for example in presence of co
39、mbustible materials, is not to be considered; only the case of products selected, installed and used according to the manufacturer instructions and installation rules. In addition, the following cases are not considered: faults addressed by IEC TR 61641; risks due to smoke emissions; double faults,
40、i.e. multiple phenomenon, potentially combined. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.
