45、ted general purpose switches, for a.c. only with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 63 A, intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors. For switches provided with screwless terminals the rated current is limited to 1
46、6 A. Switches covered by this standard are intended for the control in normal use of e.g.: a circuit for a tungsten filament lamp load, or a circuit for a fluorescent lamp load (including electronic ballast), or a circuit for a substantially resistive load with a power factor not less than 0,95, or
47、a monophase circuit for motor load with a rated current up to 10 A and a power factor not less than 0,6, or a circuit for extra low voltage (ELV) tungsten halogen lamp load with electronic convertor or magnetic transformer, or a combination of these. NOTE 1 An extension of the scope to switches for
48、rated voltages higher than 440 V is under consideration. Unless otherwise specified in subsequent parts, this standard applies to switches intended to be used at 50 Hz. NOTE 2 Switches according to Part 2-4 are intended for isolating purposes. All other switches according to EN 60669 series are inte
49、nded for functional purposes only. NOTE 3 An increase of the rated current of 10 A for motor load is under consideration. NOTE 4 For the time being, switches with a rated current more than 10 A are considered as a 10 A current for motor load switch. NOTE 5 Switches with a rated current up to and including 10 A are suitable for single-phase motor loads not exceeding the rated current of the switch and a power factor not less than 0,6. The standard also applies to boxes for switches, with the exceptio
