Dead-front panels

Dead front is defined in Article 100 of the NEC as being “without live parts exposed to a person on the operating side of the equipment.” Section 408.38 requires that panel boards be mounted in cabinets, cutout boxes or enclosures designed for the purpose and shall be dead front. The term “dead front” is used in other places in the NEC, but basically, the NEC requires distribution panels,...

Circuit breaker accessories - Service releases

Shunt opening release   This allows circuit-breaker opening by means of an electric command. Release operation is guaranteed for a voltage between 70% and 110% of the rated power supply voltage Un, both in AC and in DC. It is always fitted with an auxiliary limit contact.   Under voltage release   This opens the circuit-breaker due to a power...

Information included in the design verification

The design verification serves to document compliance with the specifications of this standard. It is comprised of 13 individual verifications. For selected individual verifications, additional sub-verifications in subcategories may be required. If selected verifications are not required due to the application, the respective verification should, as a minimum requirement, state...

Calculation of the temperature rises in compliance with the Std. IEC 60890

Calculation of the powers generated by the different components and dissipated inside the assembly   The calculation of the power losses reported in the configurations shown is carried out by taking into account the effective powers dissipated by the different components....

Open-type and enclosed assemblies

According to the constructional typology the Standard IEC 61439-1 distinguishes between open-type and enclosed assemblies.   - Enclosed assembly   An assembly is enclosed when there are protected panels on all its sides so as to provide a degree of protection against direct contact not lower than IPXXB (see Chapter 4). Assemblies intended to be installed...

Rated electrical characteristics of an assembly

Rated voltage (Un) Highest nominal value of the a.c. (r.m.s) or d.c. voltage, declared by the assembly manufacturer, to which the main circuit(s) of the assembly is (are) designed to be connected. In three-phase circuits, it is the voltage between phases. Rated operational...
