Why a new standard?Who is the manufacturer?Health of the individual is regarded as fundamentalasset within the economic space of the EuropeanUnion.The EU-Commission has therefore made it its goalto elaborate directives, which are then transposedinto national law by Member States.Thus, the low voltage directive is implemented inthe German Product Safety Act.Next to the German Product Safety Act, there isthe Product Liability Act which is designed to protect the user in case of damages.duced a defective product to the market and thatthere is causality between the defective product,the violation of legal rights and the damage. Thequestion whether a manufacturer is responsible forproduct defects puts an unacceptable burden ofproof on the injured party.1This is the reason why a reversed burden of proofis applied here. Meaning that the manufacturer hasto prove that the product was free from defectsin design, workmanship and instructions uponmarketing.Both laws pursue safety targets and are designedto protect people, livestock and property.Regarding product liability for example, injuredparties will only have to demonstrate that their legal rights have been violated and that this violationled to a loss and that the manufacturer has intro-The new standard precisely defines the responsibilities for a marketedproduct. It differentiates between original manufacturer and ASSEMBLY manufacturer.BuildersBuildersSystem manufacturerOriginal manufacturerBuildersASSEMBLYManufacturerWork book 2CPC 000 305 L01017
How can the original manufacturer or the manufacturer verify thesafety of an ASSEMBLY?The new standard describes three design verification processes for ASSEMBLIES and requires aroutine verification for every marketed product.TestingCalculation / measurementApplication of constructive rulessuch as– electrical– mechanical– thermal tests in accordancewith the requirements specified in the standardsuch as– Calculating of temperaturerises or of short-circuit forces– Measurement of clearancesand creepage distancessuch as– specified dimensions– test steps– ASSEMBLY sequencesbased on tested referencedesignsmanufacturer will become original manufacturer for that alteration and will have to carry outthe design verification in accordance with thedescribed procedures.These processes are essentially implementedby the original manufacturer. In case that theASSEMBLY manufacturer does not install anASSEMBLY in compliance with the instructionsof the original manufacturer, the ASSEMBLYIEC 61439ASSEMBLYOriginal manufacturerDesign verification through the original manufacturerTestingCalculation / measurementrulesThe ASSEMBLY manufacturer may:– Proceed to final ASSEMBLY as provided for by the original manufacturer– Deviate from the provisions of the original manufacturer and will thus become originalmanufacturer for this alteration.Routine verificationOperational switchgear ASSEMBLIESThe ASSEMBLY manufacturer always has to implement the routine verification.8Application of constructivePower switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLIESASSEMBLY manufacturerOriginal manufacturerLow-voltage ASSEMBLY2CPC 000 313 B0101 Work book
How can a low-voltage switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLY berealized safely?The new standard does not only precisely define the responsibilities ofthe market participants, but also specifies the dimensions of low-voltageswitchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLIES.1In addition it presents the possibilities and limits for the market participants inorder to guarantee to the user safe low-voltage switchgear and controlgearASSEMBLIES.It is also designed to specify the documentation required for low-voltageswitchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLIES and/orthe required verifications.Which are the dimensioning specifications enabling design verification?One important aspect emphasised in the IEC 61439 is the earthing system asthis has important consequences for planing the electrical circuits.Work book 2CPC 000 313 B01019

Connection to the electrical systemOvervoltage categoriesOvervoltage protection in buildingsOvervoltages can result from switching operations in the energy supply systemor in own electrical systems. Overvoltages are then transferred via the system(supply lines and own electrical installations) and may then reach sensitive enddevices, which might then be damaged or destroyed.1There are two types of overvoltage:– Overvoltage generated by switching operations ("switching overvoltage") or byatmospheric influences– Overvoltage generated by direct lightning strikes or lightning strikes in directvicinity of a physical structureThe following types of surge arresters exist for buildings:1.External lightning protection2.Surge arresters in the precounter sector (Type 1)3.Surge arresters in the distribution boards (Type 2)4.Surge arresters for end devices5.Surge arresters for PV systems6.Surge arresters in data engineering and communicationOvervoltage categoriesCategory to describe overvoltages that might be generated by lightning orswitching operations at the place of installation.The following categories are used to describe overvoltages:I Equipment with reduced lightning impulse withstand voltage for aconnection to power circuits equipped with surge arrester systems(e.g. electronic appliances)IIConsumers connected to fixed installations (e.g. electronic tools)III Equipment with special availability requirements and protected bylightning arrestersIV Use of equipment directly at the installation connection point.Direct lightning strikes are possible (e.g. meter panels)Work book 2CPC 000 313 B010117

Connection to the electrical systemCharacteristics and explanationsRated voltage Un. is the highest stated nominal voltage of a system (AC voltage (effective) or DC voltage) to which themain circuits are designed.For multi-phase systems this is the voltage between the phase conductors.1Rated operational voltage Ue. is the stated voltage value defining the use together with the rated current. In main circuits therated operational current refers to the design of the main contact and to the arc quenching behaviourof the switching device. In terms of their main current switching devices are only tested up to 105 %of the rated operational voltage. The operating voltage of a low voltage switchgear and controlgearASSEMBLY must not exceed this value.For multi-phase systems this is the voltage between the phase conductors.Rated impulse voltage Uimp of the ASSEMBLYThe rated impulse withstand voltage must be equal or greater than the specified transient overvoltagevalues generated in the electrical system to which the circuit is to be connected.Rated frequency ƒn :. is the frequency value stated by the ASSEMBLY manufacturer to which the ASSEMBLY is assignedand to which the operating conditions refer. NOTE: A number or a range of rated frequencies can beassigned to a circuit and be rated for AC or DC power.The limits are between 98 % and 102 % of the rated frequency.In practice, the usual rated frequency is 50 Hz.Under 0 Hz (DC current), special switching devices with specific arc quenching systems are needed.Busbars can support higher loads.Under 16 2/3 Hz the switching devices for 50 Hz have reduced switching capacities.A switching device's switching capacity is reduced at 400 Hz due to the shorter arc quenching time.Busbars can only support reduced loads due to the skin effect.The rated current for busbars under a rated frequency above 50 Hz is calculated by the followingformula:In rated current; Inf rated current under a defined frequency; fn rated frequency; fN nominalfrequency of the system to which the low voltage switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLY is to beconnectedWork book 2CPC 000 305 L010121
