Safety Requirements for Power Electronic Converter Systems and Equipment - Part 1: General
Also Known As:
IEC 62477-1:2012+AMD1:2016 CSV is a standard that provides safety requirements for Power Electronic Converter Systems (PECS) and equipment. It applies to components used for electronic power conversion and electronic power switching, including control, protection, monitoring, and measurement systems. The standard is applicable to PECS with rated system voltages not exceeding 1,000 V AC or 1,500 V DC. It can also be used as a reference for adjustable speed electric power drive systems, standalone uninterruptible power systems, and low voltage stabilized DC power supplies.
The standard aims to establish a common terminology for safety aspects related to PECS and equipment. It sets minimum requirements for the coordination of safety aspects within a PECS and provides a basis for minimum safety requirements for products containing PECS. It specifies requirements to reduce the risks of fire, electric shock, thermal hazards, energy hazards, and mechanical hazards during use, operation, service, and maintenance. The standard also addresses the risks associated with pluggable and permanently connected equipment, whether it consists of interconnected units or independent units.
However, the standard does not cover telecommunications apparatus other than power supplies to such apparatus, functional safety aspects covered by other standards such as IEC 61508, and electrical equipment and systems for railway applications and electric vehicles. This consolidated version includes the first edition of the standard from 2012 and its amendment 1 from 2016, making it unnecessary to order the amendment separately.
