DANSK DSF/FPREN 60204-11 PDF

IEC 60204 applies to the electrical and electronic equipment and systems of machines, including a group of machines working together in a coordinated manner, but excluding higher level system aspects (i.e. communications between systems). This part of IEC 60204 is applicable to equipment or parts of equipment, which operate with nominal supply voltages above 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. and not exceeding 36 kV a.c. or d.c. with nominal frequencies not exceeding 60 Hz. In this standard, the term HV equipment also covers the LV equipment forming an integral part of the equipment operating at high voltage. The requirements in this standard primarily cover the parts operating at high voltage except where explicitly stated otherwise. NOTE 1 – Enclosures containing HV equipment shall not contain LV equipment and non-electrical parts except where they form an integral part of the HV equipment and are essential for its correct operation. Other LV equipment not forming part of the HV equipment and defined as operating at voltages not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. are covered by IEC 60204-1. NOTE 2 – In this standard, the term "electrical" includes both electrical and electronic matters (i.e. electrical equipment means both the electrical and the electronic equipment). NOTE 3 – This standard does not apply to independent HV power supply installations for which separate IEC standards exist. The electrical equipment covered by this part of IEC 60204 commences at the point of connection of the supply to the electrical equipment of the machine (see 5.1). NOTE 4 – For the requirements for high-voltage power supply installations, see IEC 61936-1. This part of IEC 60204 is an application standard and is not intended to limit or inhibit technological advancement. It does not cover all the requirements (e.g. guarding, interlocking or control) which are needed or required by other standards or regulations in order to safeguard personnel from hazards other than electrical hazards. Each type of machine has unique requirements to be accommodated to provide adequate safety.
