Overview

This standard applies to electromagnetic devices and electromagnetic components with a limited stroke for holding, lifting, moving, coupling or braking with a rated supply voltage up to 1 000 V. The purpose of this standard is to specify terms, technical characteristics, operating and environmental conditions, safety requirements as well as tests for electromagnetic devices and electromagnetic components. Another purpose of this standard is to provide a normative document which indicates the presumption of conformity of clause 5.4.3.10 "Functional tests for brake magnets" with Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (new edition). The responsible committee is K 322 "Elektromagnetische Geräte" ("Electromagnetic devices") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
