22、n housings and earth electrode seals FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questi
23、ons concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s
24、)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collab
25、orates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on
26、 the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure
27、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 user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to th
28、e maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification b
29、odies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach
30、to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) a
31、nd 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 references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
32、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 identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62561-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 81: Lightni

37、IGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS (LPSC) Part 5: Requirements for earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals 1 Scope This Part 5 of EN 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for earth electrode inspection housings (earth pit), earth electrode seals. Lightning protection sy
38、stem components (LPSC) may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres. Regard should then be taken of the extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions. NOTE Different requirements and test procedures are given in EN 124 and EN-1253-1. 2 Normative referenc

43、61-5 IEC:2011 7 The choice of a material depends on its ability to match the particular application requirements. 4.2 Documentation The manufacturer or supplier of the earth electrode inspection housing and earth electrode seals shall provide adequate information in his literature to ensure that the
44、 installer can select and install the materials in a suitable and safe manner, in accordance with EN 62305-3 . Compliance is checked by inspection. 4.3 Earth electrode inspection housing The design of the earth electrode inspection housing shall be such that it carries out its function of enclosing
45、the down conductor/earth rod termination in an acceptable and safe manner, and has sufficient internal dimensions to permit the assembly/disassembly of the earth rod clamp. The housing body shall be deep enough to permit the lid to sit flush on the body without fouling on the rod/conductor/clamp ass
46、embly.
