13、BSI 12-1999 National foreword This Part of this BritishStandard, which has been prepared under the direction of the General Electrotechnical Engineering Standards Committee, is identical with IEC Publication255-14 “Electrical relays, Part14 Endurance test for electrical relay contacts Preferred valu
14、es for contact loads”, published in1981 by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Those Parts of IEC Publication255 “Electrical relays” which are concerned primarily with protection relays are incorporated where required into BS142“Electrical protection relays”. All other Parts of IEC
15、Publication255 which areimplemented as BritishStandards form, or will form, Parts of this BritishStandard 1) . Classification of relay standards. Some Parts of IEC Publication255 are designated first level documents, i.e.they cover the requirements of all relays within the scope of IEC Technical Com
16、mittee No.41, Electrical relays. Other Parts of IEC Publication255 are designated lower level documents, i.e.they are concerned with the requirements of a family of relays (second level) and of smallerand more specialized groups of relays within such a family (third and fourth level). According to t
17、his system of classification, this is a first level document. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a BritishStandard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in Britis
18、hStandards. At present there is no corresponding BritishStandard for IEC96-2:1961. The technical committee has reviewed the provisions of this IEC Publication and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. The relevant related BritishStandard for the Internationa
19、l Vocabulary Chapter446 is BS4727 “Glossary of electrotechnical, power, telecommunication, electronics, lighting and colour terms, Part1:Group0.3 Relay terminology”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible
20、for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to10, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated
21、 (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. 1) Parts of IEC255 that form part of the IECQ Quality Assurance System will also carry a QCseries number. The method of numbering BritishStandards identical to IEC
22、Q Standards is under consideration.

General and definitions 1 General 1.1 Scope and object This standard applies to contact assemblies of all types of relays covered by the
24、 Publication255 series:Electrical Relays. This standard specifies preferred characteristics of the contact loads to be used in endurance tests of electrical relay contacts over the ranges of voltages and currents defined by application categories. Preferred values are given for various types of load
25、 including relay and cables. As a result of further consideration the title and values of various tables differ slightly from those published in IEC Publication225-0-20:Contact Performance of Electrical Relays. The detail specifications 2)shall refer to these preferred values of contact loads but fo
26、r a particular application, additional characteristics may be defined (e.g.inrush current in a contact load circuit, lamp load or motor load). 1.2 General requirements 1.2.1 General interconnection requirements The endurance test equipment is defined by IEC Publication255-15:Specification for the Ch
27、aracteristics of Test Equipment. The contact load, as defined in the detail specification, shall be connected to the contact under test by wiring which shall be as short as possible. The wiring and the measuring equipment shall have a negligible influence on the current through, and the voltage acro
28、ss the contact during switching. To achieve this, the test point may be switchable. Protective devices or spark-quenching circuits, which are specified in the detail specification, shall be in position during tests. Earthing requirements shall be given in the detail specification. 1.2.2 Sources for
29、output quantities If the contact load comprises a voltage source, this source shall be connected with one terminal to earth. The tolerance on the voltage value shall be 10% on30mV and 2% for the other values. The internal resistance R sof the source shall be less than2% of the d.c.load resistance, a
30、nd the source impedance Z sshall be less than2% of the a.c.load impedance at all frequencies up to1MHz. When several loads are connected in parallel via the respective contacts under test to the same voltage source, the combined load needs shall be taken into account in assessing the ability of the
31、source to meet the source requirements. In the case of d.c., a sufficiently low value of Z sand an adequate limitation of the fluctuations of the output voltage may be achieved by connecting a large capacitor across the voltage source close to the contact under test. 2 Terms and definitions In addit
32、ion to the general terms defined in IEC Publication50: International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (I.E.V.), Chapter446: Electrical Relays, or in other parts of IEC Publication255, the following definition applies: 2.1 application category of contacts a category defined by the ranges of voltage and cu
33、rrent within which, under specified conditions, the contacts are able to perform their intended functions according to the specified requirements 2) In accordance with the definition in Sub-clause4.5 of IEC Guide102: Specification Structures for the Quality Assessment of Electronic Components, a det
34、ail specification is a document giving particular requirements or specifications relating to a specific type (or pattern) of relay and could be, for example, one of the parts of IEC Publication255 or a specification written by the manufacturer or user as part of a contractual agreement.BS5992-4:1983
