1 Scope
This part of IEC 61439
lays down the general definitions and service conditions, construction requirements,
technical characteristics and verification requirements for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies .
NOTE Throughout this document, the term assembly (s) (see 3.1.1) is used for a low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly (s).
For the purpose of determining assembly conformity, the requirements of the relevant part of the IEC 61439 series, Part 2 onwards, apply together with the cited requirements of this document. For
assemblies not covered by Part 3 onward, Part 2 applies.
This document applies to assemblies only when required by the relevant assembly standard as follows :
–
assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC;
–
assemblies designed for a nominal frequency of the incoming supply or supplies not exceeding
1 000 Hz;
–
assemblies intended for indoor and outdoor applications;
