Safety of transformers, reactors, power supply units and combinations thereof - Part 2-23: Particular requirements and tests for transformers and power supply units for construction sites (IEC 61558-2-23:2010); German version EN 61558-2-23:2010
Sicherheit von Transformatoren, Drosseln, Netzgeräten und entsprechenden Kombinationen - Teil 2-23: Besondere Anforderungen und Prüfungen für Transformatoren und Netzgeräte für Baustellen (IEC 61558-2-23:2010); Deutsche Fassung EN 61558-2-23:2010
Overview
This part of IEC 61558 deals with the safety of transformers for construction sites and power supply units incorporating transformers for construction sites. Transformers incorporating electronic circuits are also covered by this standard. Unless otherwise specified, from here onward, the term transformer covers transformers for construction sites and power supply units incorporating transformers for construction sites. This part is applicable to stationary or portable, single-phase or polyphase, air-cooled (natural or forced) independent or associated transformers, being isolating or safety isolating dry-type transformers for the use on construction sites. The windings may be encapsulated or non-encapsulated. The rated supply voltage does not exceed 1 000 V a.c., and the rated frequency and the internal operating frequencies do not exceed 500 Hz. This standard shall be applied in connection with Part 2-16 for switch mode power assemblies (SMPA) which can also be used for power supply with internal operating frequencies not exceeding 500 Hz. In the event of conflict of two requirements, the more stringent takes precedence. The rated output does not exceed - 25 kVA for single-phase transformers - 40 kVA for poly-phase transformers. This part is applicable for transformers without limitation of rated output after agreement between buyer and manufacturer. Isolating transformers and power supply units incorporating isolating transformers for construction sites have a no-load output voltage and a rated output voltage exceeding 50 V a.c. and not exceeding 250 V a.c. Safety isolating transformers and power supply units incorporating safety isolating transformers for construction sites have a no-load output voltage and a rated output voltage not exceeding 50 V a.c. Transformers and power supply units covered by this part are used in applications where it is required by the installation rules or by the appliance specification for protection purposes. When the transformers or power supply units are incorporated into low voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies for construction sites as specified in IEC 60439-4, the additional requirements of IEC 60439-4 will apply to the low voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly for construction sites. The responsible Committee is K 323 "Transformatoren, Drosseln, Netzgeräte und entsprechende Kombinationen" ("Transformers, reactors, power supply units and corresponding combinations thereof") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
