4 IEC 60947-3 SWITCHES - DISCONNECTORS - SWITCH DISCONNECTORS IEC 60947 is a safety and performance standard for low voltage switchgear (up to 1000V) which has universally replaced IEC 408 and combined specific requirements of many individual national standards. IEC 60947 is a uniform standard for most countries around the world and establishes a truely global marketplace. IEC 60947-3 is a section of the standard specific to switches. Importantly, it recognises that devices for the switching function and isolating function require very different perform- ance criteria. Switching requires high performance of current carrying parts to make and break loads under normal and overload conditions, ie., motor reversing applications. Isolation requires high insulation, sufficient spacing of current carrying parts and mechanical integrity that the handle corresponds to actual contact position for the safety of maintenance personnel. Practicality of real life applications calls for three definitions within IEC 60947-3; Switches, Disconnectors and Switch Disconnec- tors. A switch does not have to satisfy the isolation and mechanical strength tests, and a disconnector likewise the load tests. A Switch Disconnector must satisfy all tests and is suitable for safety switch applications. A switch disconnector must have a direct drive late make early break auxillary contact in series with a load breaking device to be suitable as a safety switch. Kraus & Naimer have developed complete products which satisfy all IEC 60947 criteria, some of which are listed overleaf. For further information, please contact our offices.
