AS 3947.6.2-1996

Applies to control and protective switching devices (or equipment) (CPS), the main contacts of which are intended to be connected to circuits of rated voltage not exceeding 1000 volt a.c. or 1500 volt d.c. CPS are intended to provide both protective and control functions for remotely controlled circuits. They may also fulfil additional functions, such as isolation. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 947-6-2:1992 and its Corrigendum:1995.

This section of IEC 947-6 applies to control and protective switching devices (or equipment) (CPS), the main contacts of which are intended to be connected to circuits of rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c.CPS's are intended to provide both protective and control functions for remotely controlled circuits. They may also fulfill additional functions, such as isolation.The object of this section is to state:- The characteristics of CPS's;- The conditions with which CPS's shall comply with reference to their operation and behaviour, their dielectric properties, the degree of protection provided by their enclosure where applicable;- The tests intended to verify that these conditions have been met, and the methods to be adopted for these tests;- The information to be marked on or given with the CPS's.
