What is BS EN IEC 62271-106 about?
BS EN IEC 62271-106 discusses standards for switchgear and controlgear. BS EN IEC 62271-106 applies to AC contactors and/or contactor-based controllers and motor starters designed for indoor installation and operation at frequencies up to and including 60 Hz on systems having voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 24 kV.
BS EN IEC 62271-106 applies only to three-pole devices for use in three-phase systems, and single-pole devices for use in single-phase systems. It includes additional requirements for outdoor installations where the equipment is housed in an additional protective enclosure.
BS EN IEC 62271-106 gives requirements for starters associated with separate short-circuit protective devices and controllers, contactors combined with short-circuit protective devices (SCPD).
