Rated current of the switchgear ASSEMBLY InA

... is the current value stated by the manufacturer which can be supported without exceeding the
defined temperature rise limits.
Uninfluenced short-circuit current Icp

... is the effective value of that current which would flow if the incoming line of a circuit would be
short-circuited by a conductor in direct vicinity of the connections of the switchgear ASSEMBLY (for
the strength and duration of the short-circuit current, see 10.11.5.4)
Rated peak withstand current Ipk

... is the highest short-circuit current peak value stated by the ASSEMBLY manufacturer that can be
withstood under specified conditions.
Rated short-time withstand current Icw

... is the effective value of the short-time current stated by the ASSEMBLY manufacturer , that can be
withstood under specified conditions without damage.
(for example this is stated as follows: Icw=40 kA/1s; since the thermal effect is square dependent on the current (I²t), an effective AC current value
of 80 kA would be acceptable for a duration of 0.25 s
in the 3 s range the rated peak withstand current can be calculated using the same formula I²t, provided that the peak value does not exceed the
rated peak withstand current).
Conditional rated short-time withstand current Icc

... Is the value of the uninfluenced short-circuit current specified by the ASSEMBLY manufacturer
which the circuit protected by a short-circuit protection device (SCPD) can withstand during the total
turn-off time of the device (current flow duration) under specified conditions.
The SCPD may be an integral part of the switchgear ASSEMBLY or a separate unit.
Rated short-circuit current with fuse protections Icf

When fuse protections are used, the rated short-circuit current is the uninfluenced short-circuit cur-
rent. The turn-off times result then from the fuse characteristics.
The rated short-circuit current of the fuse is here equal or greater than the uninfluenced short-circuit
current.

.... is the per unit value of the rated current, assigned by the ASSEMBLY
manufacturer, as a percent value of the rated current, to which outgoing
circuits of an ASSEMBLY can be continuously and simultaneously loaded
taking into account the mutual thermal influences.
Rated current of the circuit Inc

... is the current value stated by the manufacturer which can be support-
ed without exceeding the defined temperature rise limits.

10.2.2 Resistance to corrosion

The resistance to corrosion of ferrous metallic enclosures including internal and external ferrous
metallic constructional parts of the ASSEMBLY is to be verified There are two test methods.
Severity tests A and B. Severity test A applies to indoor installations and severity test B to out-
2
door installations.
These tests are described in IEC 60068.
The metallic ASSEMBLIES from STRIEBEL & JOHN are tested for indoor installations.
10.2.3.2 Strength against abnormal heat and fire

This paragraph describes the glow wire test according to IEC 60695.
It is used to verify the suitability of the materials used.
The glow wire tip temperatures are stated below and must have the following properties.
960 °C for parts necessary to retain current-carrying parts in position;
850 °C for enclosures intended for mounting in hollow walls;
650 °C for all other parts including parts necessary to retain the protective conductor.
10.2.4 Resistance to ultra-violet (UV) radiation

This test is only prescribed for enclosures and external parts of ASSEMBLIES intended for out-
door installation and made of plastic or metal and completely coated with insulating material.
UV test in accordance with ISO 4892.

This test is applied to enclosures made of insulating materials. This verification certifies that the
flexural strength (according to ISO 178) and the IZOD impact strength (Charpy test according to
ISO 179) of the insulating materials have not less than 70 % minimum retention.
Metal enclosures completely coated with insulating materials, pass this test when the adherence
of the synthetic material has a minimum retention of category 3 as provided for in ISO 2409.
This test does not need to be conducted if the original manufacturer is able to present data from
the material supplier certifying that material of the same type and thickness or thinner complies
with these requirements.
10.2.5 Lifting
For ASSEMBLIES equipped with lifting appliances compliance is verified by the following tests.
The highest number of sections allowed by the original manufacturer to be lifted in the same time
is to be equipped thus to achieve a weight of 1.25-times the maximum transport weight. With
the doors closed the ASSEMBLY shall be lifted using the lifting means specified by the original
manufacturer.
After this test, the ASSEMBLY must not show cracks or permanent deformation potentially
affecting its characteristics.
10.2.6 Mechanical impact

Mechanical impact tests are to be carried out as provided for in IEC62262.

10.2.7 Marking
Markings made by moulding, pressing, engraving or similar, including labels with laminated plastic
surfaces, do not need to be tested separately. The test is described in this section and after the
test, the markings must be legible without additional tools.
2
10.3 Degree of protection of enclosures
The degree of protection is to be verified as provided for in IEC 60529.
Where an empty enclosure in accordance with IEC 62208 is used, it must be verified by surveys
that possible modifications which have been carried out do not impair the degree of protection.
No further testing is required here.
10.4 Clearances and creepage distances

Clearances and creep distances are to be tested in accordance with the requirements.
10.5.2 Continuity of the connection between parts of the ASSEMBLY and the protective
circuit
It is to be verified that the different parts of the ASSEMBLY are effectively connected to the
terminal of the incoming external protective conductor and that the resistance of the circuit does
not exceed 0.1 Ω.
Verification is to be carried out using a resistance measurement device which is capable of
supplying a current of not less than 10 A (AC or DC). The current is passed from each part to the
terminal for the external protective conductor. The resistance must not exceed 0.1 Ω.
10.5.3 Short-circuit withstand strength of the protective conductor

The rated Short-circuit withstand strength is to be verified. Verification may be made by
comparison with a reference design or by test.
The original manufacturer has to define the reference design used for testing.
10.6 Incorporation of equipment

Compliance with the design requirements 5 for the incorporation of equipment is to be
confirmed by the original manufacturer.
10.7 Internal electric circuits and connections

Compliance with the design requirements for internal electrical circuits and connections is to be
confirmed by the original manufacturer.
10.8 Terminals for external conductors

Compliance with the design requirements for terminals for external conductors shall be confirmed
by the original manufacturer.
10.9.2 Dielectric properties Power-frequency withstand voltage

For this test, all electrical equipment of the ASSEMBLY is to be connected, except those
which are designed for lower test voltages in compliance with the applicable provisions;
current consuming devices (e.g. windings, measuring instruments, surge arresters), in which
the application of a test voltage could cause the current to flow, are to be disconnected.
Such devices are to be disconnected at one of their terminals unless they are designed for
the full test voltage, in which case every terminal may be disconnected.

Next to the option to verify temperature rises inside low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
ASSEMBLIES using a test, DIN EN 61439-1 describes two calculation methods which may
also be used:
2
Verification of temperature rise up to 630 A
– Comparison between the installed power loss and the power loss that can be dissipated in
the range up to 630 A (only possible if there are no horizontal partitions)
For the verification, see page 69
Temperature rise verification up to 1600 A

– Verification that temperature rise limits are not exceeded in the distribution board,
this applies to the range up to 1600 A (according to DIN EN TR 60890)
For the verification, see page 85

– Temperature rise verifications above 1600 A are to be made by testing

10.10 Verification of temperature rise

Next to the option to verify temperature rises inside low voltage switchgear and controlgear
ASSEMBLIES using a test, IEC 61439-1 describes two calculation methods which may
also be used:
2
– Comparison between the installed power loss and the power loss that can be
dissipated in the power range up to 630 A (only possible if there are no horizontal
partitions)
– Verification that temperature rise limits are not exceeded in the distribution board,
this applies to the power range up to 1600 A (according to IEC TR 60890)

Temperature rises up to 630 A may be verified under the assumption that the heat loss of
all equipment and electrical conductors is evenly distributed across the enclosure. For this
method the standard demands that no internal form separation restricts the heat flow.
Since the actual distribution of the heat sources in enclosures does not necessarily com-
ply with the above-stated ideal conditions, the standard requires for calculated verification
methods (up to 630 A) the application of a reduction factor (derating factor).
There are two different starting conditions: a) the operating currents (load currents) are
known or b) the rated current is specified by the preselection of equipment.
Example I
The operating currents are known and the rated current for the incoming supply is to be
determined from the sum of the outgoing operating currents:
3 outgoing circuits having an operating current of IB = 150 A

The operating current of the outgoing circuit is defined by the equipment selection so that
the rated current of the outgoing circuit is calculated as follows:

Disconnector size 00, 160 A
Inc=IB · 0.8* = 160 A · 0.8 = 128 A
Reducing the rated current of each circuit leads also to another reduction of the power loss
to be taken into account regarding the power losses occurring with the rated current.

Verified ASSEMBLIES are to be calculated so that the wiring sections are to be designed in
accordance with the current rating of the associated circuit and all sections shall have not
less than 1.25 times (125 %) of the current rating.

temperature rise of the low voltage switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLY is verified! In which case the ASSEMBLY
manufacturer may indicate a RDF of 100 % for the complete installation since sufficient design reserves have been
taken into account.
If there is a negative difference between dissipated power losses and installed power losses, further action is
required in the field:
– Ventilation of the enclosure

– Selecting a larger enclosure
Or, as a third option, the manufacturer may also reduce the rated diversity factor:
– Determining of a smaller RDF (≤ 80 %)
The RDF is the percent value of the rated current which the ASSEMBLY may carry continuously and simultaneously
taking into account the mutual thermal influences.

10.12 Electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC)

An ASSEMBLY'S functional units must undergo the following tests.
Emitted-interference and interference-immunity tests are to be carried out in
accordance with the applicable EMC standards and the ASSEMBLY manufacturer will
2
have to detail every action required to verify the performance criteria of an
ASSEMBLY (such as the use of holding times).
10.13 Mechanical operation

This verification must not be carried out for such ASSEMBLY parts (e.g. withdrawable
circuit breakers) which have already been type tested according to the applicable
provisions unless their mechanical function has changed through the process of
installation.
For those parts which need to be verified (see 8.1.5), proper mechanical functioning
has to be verified after their installation to an ASSEMBLY. The number of operating
cycles shall be 200.
At the same time, the function of the locking devices associated with these movements
is to be tested. A test will be passed satisfactorily if the operation of the devices,
interlocks, the defined degree of protection, etc. are not impaired and if the effort
required to operate is practically the same before and after testing.

Chapter 5
CE conformity declaration
The low voltage directive (2006/95/EC) stipulates that every marketed product falling within the
scope of this directive has to bear the CE mark and that there has to be an associated declaration
of conformity. This EU Directive is implemented as the Product Safety Act in German law.
Declaration of conformity of the manufacturer ( Manufacturer's declaration)

Manufacturers may issue their own declarations of conformity, i.e. there is no need to involve another
entity. All this complies with the product liabilities provisions - manufacturers are liable for their
products and therefore it is justified to trust in a manufacturer’s declaration.
Prior to the delivery of a declaration of conformity the manufacturer has to undergo a conformity
assessment procedure as provided for in the low voltage directive (Annex IV). This includes the
preparation of the technical documentation including the design verifications, the test reports
allowing to assess whether the requirements arising from the directives are being complied with.
The manufacturer has to keep this technical documentation for a period of 10 years and to submit
5
it to the authorities on request.
This documentation reduces the risk that you as manufacturer will be held liable pursuant to the
Product Safety Act.
As manufacturer we assist you by our declaration of conformity (to the extent that we market
products falling within the scope of the low voltage directive and/or the Product Safety Act) and
by our form sheets:
- Routine verification protocol (see explanations under Step 4: Implementing routine verifications)
- Checklist on the conformity assessment procedure
- Declaration of conformity
In addition, you are free to use all shown tables as additional tools and may save them from our
download area.

in accordance with 10.9.2. Test voltage = 1890 V AC at a rated insulation voltage between 300 V-690 V AC.
For test values at other rated insulation voltages, see Table 8 of the IEC 61439-1.
For ASSEMBLIES up to 250 A with an incoming protective device the insulation resistance may be
measured using an insulation measurement device at a voltage of not less than 500 V DC. This test
will be passed successfully when the insulation resistance is at least 1000 Ω/V.
