13、t technical changes with respect to EN 61984:2001: addition in the scope of the statement that this standard may be used as a guide for connectors withrated current higher than 125 A per pole; new definitions added and improvement of existing definitions; in Clause 5, the classification referred to
14、protection against electric shock and that of connector forclass II equipment were added; in 6.4 (Protection against electric shock), it is clarified that all parts which are necessary to ensureprotection against electric shock shall only be removable by the aid of a tool; Table 2 and Table 3 are ad
15、ded for better readability and connecting methods updated to c urrent statusof standardization; values for cable clamp testing in Table 6 are adopted according to EN 50262 and no tests are requiredif metric cable glands according to this standard are used; tables in 6.19 are deleted and the text ref
16、ers to EN 60664; Table 7 (Values for torque for screw-type clamping units) in 7.1.4 of EN 61984:2001 is deleted and thetext refers to the relevant standards; Subclause 7.3.7 of EN 61984:2001 is modified. In 7.3.8 of EN 61984:2009, the length of theconnecting cable and conductor loops are added. Test
17、 arrangements for temperature r ise test fortwo-part printed board connectors are fixed; Figure 2 (Device for bending test) transferred from 7.3.8 (Mechanical operat ion) of EN 61984:2001 to7.3.10 (Bending (flexing) test) of EN 61984:2009; in Table 10 (Mechanical test group A) test phase A3, the sev
