Nizkonapetostne varovalke – 1. del: Splošne zahteve (IEC 60269-1:2006)

Ta del IEC 60269 se uporablja za varovalke z zaprtimi tokovno-omejilnimi taljivimi vložki z naznačeno izklopno zmogljivostjo, ne manjšo od 6 kA, ki so namenjene za zaščito izmeničnih vezij z nazivnimi napetostmi, ne večjimi od 1 000 V, ali enosmernih vezij z nazivnimi napetostmi, ne večjimi od 1 500 V.
Naslednji deli tega standarda, navedeni v tem dokumentu, zajemajo dodatne zahteve za varovalke, namenjene za posebne pogoje uporabe ali aplikacije.
Taljivi vložki, namenjeni vključitvi v varovalčne-stikalne kombinacije v skladu z IEC 60947-3, morajo tudi ustrezati naslednjim zahtevam.
OPOMBA 1: O podrobnih lastnostih taljivih vložkov "a" (glej 2.2.4) v enosmernih vezjih naj se dogovorita uporabnik in proizvajalec.
OPOMBA 2: Spremembe in dopolnitve tega standarda, potrebne za nekatere vrste varovalk za posebne namene, na primer za nekatere varovalke za tirna vozila ali varovalke za visokofrekvenčna vezja, bodo zajete z ločenimi standardi, če bo to potrebno.
OPOMBA 3: Ta standard se ne uporablja za miniaturne varovalke, ki jih obravnava standard IEC 60127.
Namen tega standarda je določiti lastnosti varovalk ali delov varovalk (podstavka varovalke, nosilca varovalke, taljivega vložka) tako, da jih je mogoče nadomestiti z drugimi varovalkami ali deli varovalk, ki imajo zagotovljene enake lastnosti in so glede dimenzij zamenljive. V ta namen se ta standard nanaša zlasti na:
- naslednje lastnosti varovalk;
- njihove naznačene vrednosti,
- njihovo izolacijo,
- njihov dvig temperature v normalnem obratovanju,
- njihovo izgubno moč in sprejemljivo izgubno moč,
- njihove tokovno-časovne karakteristike,
- njihovo izklopno zmogljivost,
- njihove karakteristike odrezanih tokov in njihove karakteristike I2t;
- preskuse tipa za preverjanje lastnosti varovalk;
- označevanje varovalk.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
A reorganization of the different parts of the IEC 60269 series has been carried out, in order to
simplify its use, especially by the laboratories which test the fuses.
IEC 60269-1, IEC 60269-2, IEC 60269-3 and IEC 60269-3-1 have been integrated into either
the new part 1 or the new parts 2 or 3, according to the subjects considered, so that the
clauses which deal exclusively with “fuses for authorized persons” are separated from the
clauses dealing with “fuses for unauthorized persons”.
As far as IEC 60269-4 and IEC 60269-4-1 are concerned, they have been integrated into the
new part 4 which deals with the fuse-links used for semiconductor protection.

LOW-VOLTAGE FUSES –
Part 1: General requirements
1 General
1.1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60269 is applicable to fuses incorporating enclosed current-limiting fuse-links
with rated breaking capacities of not less than 6 kA, intended for protecting power-frequency
a.c. circuits of nominal voltages not exceeding 1 000 V or d.c. circuits of nominal voltages not
exceeding 1 500 V.
Subsequent parts of this standard, referred to herein, cover supplementary requirements for
such fuses intended for specific conditions of use or applications.
Fuse-links intended to be included in fuse-switch combinations according to IEC 60947-3
should also comply with the following requirements.
NOTE 1 For "a" fuse-links, details of performance (see 2.2.4) on d.c. circuits should be subject to agreement
between user and manufacturer.
NOTE 2 Modifications of, and supplements to, this standard required for certain types of fuses for particular
applications – for example, certain fuses for rolling stock, or fuses for high-frequency circuits – will be covered, if
necessary, by separate standards.
NOTE 3 This standard does not apply to miniature fuses, these being covered by IEC 60127.
The object of this standard is to establish the characteristics of fuses or parts of fuses (fuse-
base, fuse-carrier, fuse-link) in such a way that they can be replaced by other fuses or parts of
fuses having the same characteristics provided that they are interchangeable as far as their
dimensions are concerned. For this purpose, this standard refers in particular to
– the following characteristics of fuses:
ƒ their rated values;
ƒ their insulation;
ƒ their temperature rise in normal service;
ƒ their power dissipation and acceptable power dissipation;
ƒ their time/current characteristics;
ƒ their breaking capacity;
ƒ their cut-off current characteristics and their I t characteristics.
– type test for verification of the characteristics of fuses;
– the marking of fuses.

MEDNARODNA ELEKTROTEHNIŠKA KOMISIJA

Nizkonapetostne varovalke –
1. del: Splošne zahteve
Predgovor k mednarodnemu standardu

1) IEC (Mednarodna elektrotehniška komisija) je svetovna organizacija za standardizacijo, ki združuje vse nacionalne
elektrotehnične komiteje (nacionalni komiteji IEC). Cilj IEC je pospeševati mednarodno sodelovanje v vseh vprašanjih
standardizacije s področja elektrotehnike in elektronike. V ta namen poleg drugih aktivnosti izdaja mednarodne standarde,
tehnične specifikacije, tehnična poročila, javnosti dostopne specifikacije (PAS) in vodila (v nadaljevanju: publikacije IEC). Za
njihovo pripravo so odgovorni tehnični odbori. Vsak nacionalni komite IEC, ki ga zanima obravnavana tema, lahko sodeluje
v tem pripravljalnem delu. Prav tako lahko v pripravi sodelujejo mednarodne organizacije ter vladne in nevladne ustanove, ki
so povezane z IEC. IEC deluje v tesni povezavi z mednarodno organizacijo za standardizacijo ISO skladno s pogoji,
določenimi v soglasju med obema organizacijama.
2) Uradne odločitve ali sporazumi IEC o tehničnih vprašanjih, pripravljeni v tehničnih odborih, v katerih so prisotni vsi
nacionalni komiteji, ki jih tema zanima, izražajo, kolikor je mogoče, mednarodno soglasje o obravnavani temi.
3) Publikacije IEC imajo obliko priporočil za njihovo uporabo na mednarodni ravni in jih kot takšne sprejmejo nacionalni
komiteji IEC. Čeprav IEC skuša na vse primerne načine zagotavljati točnost tehničnih vsebin v publikacijah IEC, IEC ne
more biti odgovoren za način, kako se določila uporabljajo, ter za morebitne napačne razlage končnih uporabnikov.
4) Da bi pospeševali mednarodno poenotenje, so se nacionalni komiteji IEC zavezali, da bodo v svojih nacionalnih in
regionalnih standardih čim pregledneje uporabljali mednarodne standarde. Vsako odstopanje med standardom IEC in
ustreznim nacionalnim ali regionalnim standardom je treba v slednjem jasno označiti.
5) IEC ni določil nobenega postopka označevanja, ki bi kazal na njegovo potrditev in ne more biti odgovoren za katero koli
opremo, ki bi bila deklarirana kot skladna z eno od njegovih publikacij.
6) Vsi uporabniki naj bi si zagotovili zadnjo izdajo teh publikacij.
7) IEC ali njegovi direktorji, zaposleni, uslužbenci ali agenti, vključno s samostojnimi strokovnjaki ter člani tehničnih odborov in
nacionalnih komitejev IEC, ne prevzemajo nobene odgovornosti za kakršno koli osebno poškodbo, škodo na premoženju ali
katero koli drugo škodo kakršne koli vrste, bodisi posredne ali neposredne, ali za stroške (vključno z zakonitim lastništvom)
in izdatke, povezane s publikacijo, njeno uporabo ali zanašanjem na to publikacijo IEC ali katero koli drugo publikacijo IEC.
8) Pozornost je treba posvetiti normativnim virom, na katere se sklicuje ta publikacija. Uporaba navedenih publikacij je nujna
za pravilno uporabo te publikacije.
9) Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da bi lahko bil kateri od elementov tega mednarodnega standarda predmet patentnih pravic.
IEC ni odgovoren za identificiranje nobene od teh patentnih pravic.
Mednarodni standard IEC 60269-1 je pripravil pododbor 32B Nizkonapetostne varovalke pri tehničnem
odboru IEC/TC 32 Varovalke.
Ta četrta izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča tretjo izdajo, objavljeno v letu 1998 in dopolnilo A1 (2005)
ter tudi dele standardov IEC 60269-2 (1986) in IEC 60269-3 (1987) in pomeni večjo tehnično
spremembo.
Splošna reorganizacija skupine standardov IEC 60269 je vodila k oblikovanju nove izdaje.

SIST EN 60269-1 : 2007
Uvod
S preureditvijo različnih delov skupine standardov IEC 60269 naj bi se poenostavila njihova uporaba,
še posebej v laboratorijih, ki preskušajo varovalke.

Standardi IEC 60269-1, IEC 60269-2, IEC 60269-3 in IEC 60269-3-1 so bili skladno z obravnavanimi
področji vključeni ali v novi 1. del ali v novi 2. ali 3. del, tako da so deli, ki obravnavajo izključno
"varovalke za pooblaščene osebe", ločeni od delov, ki obravnavajo "varovalke za nepooblaščene
osebe".
Standarda IEC 60269-4 in IEC 60269-4-1 sta bila vključena v novi 4. del, ki obravnava taljive vložke, ki
se uporabljajo za zaščito polprevodnikov.

SIST EN 60269-1 : 2007
Nizkonapetostne varovalke – 1. del: Splošne zahteve (IEC 60269-1:2006)

1 Splošno
1.1 Področje uporabe in predmet standarda

Ta del IEC 60269 se uporablja za varovalke z zaprtimi tokovno-omejilnimi taljivimi vložki z naznačeno
izklopno zmogljivostjo, ne manjšo od 6 kA, ki so namenjene za zaščito izmeničnih vezij z nazivnimi
napetostmi, ne večjimi od 1 000 V, ali enosmernih vezij z nazivnimi napetostmi, ne večjimi od 1 500 V.
Naslednji deli tega standarda, navedeni v tem dokumentu, zajemajo dodatne zahteve za varovalke,
namenjene za posebne pogoje uporabe ali aplikacije.
Taljivi vložki, namenjeni vključitvi v varovalčne-stikalne kombinacije v skladu z IEC 60947-3, morajo
tudi ustrezati naslednjim zahtevam.
OPOMBA 1: O podrobnih lastnostih taljivih vložkov "a" (glej 2.2.4) v enosmernih vezjih naj se dogovorita uporabnik in proizvajalec.
OPOMBA 2: Spremembe in dopolnitve tega standarda, potrebne za nekatere vrste varovalk za posebne namene, na primer
za nekatere varovalke za tirna vozila ali varovalke za visokofrekvenčna vezja, bodo zajete z ločenimi standardi,
če bo to potrebno.
OPOMBA 3: Ta standard se ne uporablja za miniaturne varovalke, ki jih obravnava standard IEC 60127.
Namen tega standarda je določiti lastnosti varovalk ali delov varovalk (podstavka varovalke, nosilca
varovalke, taljivega vložka) tako, da jih je mogoče nadomestiti z drugimi varovalkami ali deli varovalk,
ki imajo zagotovljene enake lastnosti in so glede dimenzij zamenljive. V ta namen se ta standard
nanaša zlasti na:
- naslednje lastnosti varovalk;
- njihove naznačene vrednosti,
- njihovo izolacijo,
- njihov dvig temperature v normalnem obratovanju,
- njihovo izgubno moč in sprejemljivo izgubno moč,
- njihove tokovno-časovne karakteristike,
- njihovo izklopno zmogljivost,
- njihove karakteristike odrezanih tokov in njihove karakteristike I t;
- preskuse tipa za preverjanje lastnosti varovalk;
- označevanje varovalk.

del taljivega vložka, ki kaže, da je varovalka delovala

[IEV 441-18-17]
2.1.7
udarjalo
mehanska naprava, oblikovana kot del taljivega vložka, ki ob delovanju varovalke sprosti energijo,
potrebno za sprožitev delovanja drugega aparata ali indikatorjev ali za zagotovitev sinhroniziranja
ostalih naprav
[IEV 441-18-18]
2.1.8
priključek
prevodni del varovalke, ki zagotavlja električno povezavo z zunanjim tokokrogom

OPOMBA: Priključki so lahko različni, skladno z vrsto tokokroga, za katerega so namenjeni (na primer glavni priključek,
ozemljilo itd.), in tudi glede na njihovo obliko (na primer vijačni priključek, vtični priključek itd.).

2.1.9
nadomestni taljivi vložek
preskusni taljivi vložek z določeno izgubno močjo in dimenzijami
SIST EN 60269-1 : 2007
2.1.10
preskusna priprava
določen preskusni podstavek varovalke

2.1.11
velikostni vložek, kalibrirni kos
dodatni del podstavka varovalke, namenjen zagotavljanju stopnje nezamenljivosti

2.2 Splošni izrazi
2.2.1
zaprt taljivi vložek
taljivi vložek, v katerem je (so) taljivi element(-i) popolnoma zaprt(-i), torej med delovanjem v okviru
svojega učinkovanja ne more proizvesti nikakršnih škodljivih zunanjih učinkov, na primer sproščanja
plina ali izbruha plamena ali kovinskih delcev med razvojem obloka

tokom, označenim na njegovi tokovno-časovni karakteristiki (k I na sliki 2), in njegovo naznačeno
2 n
izklopno zmogljivostjo
OPOMBA: Taljivi vložki "a" se na splošno uporabljajo za zagotovitev kratkostične zaščite. Kadar je zahtevana zaščita pred
nadtoki, manjšimi od k I na sliki 2, so uporabljeni v povezavi z drugo ustrezno stikalno enoto, zasnovano za
2 n
prekinitev takšnih majhnih nadtokov.

2.2.5
temperature
2.2.5.1

usklajenost ustreznih karakteristik dveh ali več nadtokovnih zaščitnih naprav tako, da naprava ob pojavu
nadtoka v določenih mejah predvideno deluje znotraj teh mej, medtem ko druga(-e) naprava(-e) ne

2.2.7
sistem varovalk
družina varovalk, pri katerih so glede oblike taljivih vložkov, vrste kontaktov itd. upoštevana enaka
načela zasnove
2.2.8
velikost
določen niz dimenzij varovalk znotraj sistema varovalk. Vsaka posamezna velikost zajema območje
naznačenih tokov, za katere se določene dimenzije varovalk ne spreminjajo

2.2.9
homogena vrsta taljivih vložkov
niz taljivih vložkov z določeno velikostjo, ki se med seboj razlikujejo samo v takšnih karakteristikah, da
je za določen preskus mogoče vzeti preskušanje enega ali zmanjšanega števila taljivih vložkov v tej
seriji za reprezentativno za vse taljive vložke v homogeni vrsti

OPOMBA: Karakteristike, od katerih taljivi vložki v homogeni vrsti lahko odstopajo, in podrobnosti, ki jih je treba pri taljivih
vložkih preskušati, so podrobneje navedene
