DANSK DSF/IEC TR 63196 ED1 PDF

This document defines the energy efficiency aspects of switchgear and controlgear products (complying with IEC 60947 series of standards) and associated assemblies (complying with IEC 61439 series of standards) in the context of overall energy efficiency considerations. It provides guidance for the development and maintenance of product standards with respect to energy efficiency. This document references energy policy aspects as well as product and system aspects. This document generally assumes electrical energy input, whereas the output can be a number of different measures. This document: – helps to harmonize the energy efficiency requirements and guidance in product standards; – raises awareness that provisions in publications can generally influence energy efficiency; – helps to identif y energy efficiency aspects; – promotes the use of a system approach. The contribution of EE aspects of switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies to the environmental impact is addressed in IEC TS 63058 1.
