Difficulties to meet customization of their product.

Product not verified.

Pressure to reduce costs.

IEC – worldwide requirement in a global economy

Share our knowledge and experience

ABB sets the standard

Local presence and expertise

Best technology for the process

Cost-effective solutions

Responsive local service

A supplier with global guidance and direction

Defined by a number of key parameters.

Specified by the manufacturer, sometimes by agreement

between the manufacturer and user of the equipment.

These characteristics, for example, may depend upon the

environment in which the equipment is required to operate

and the fault level of the supply to the equipment.

The manufacturer must specify the relevant characteristics

for the relevant type-tests to be conducted by the testing

station.

Pollution degree (cont’d) To evaluate clearances and creepage distances, the

following four degrees of pollution are established. Pollution degree 1

No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs.

Pollution degree 2 Normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs.

Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may be expected.

Pollution degree 3 Conductive pollution occurs or dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation.

Pollution degree 4 The pollution generates persistent conductivity

caused, for instance, by conductive dust or by rain or snow.

When the surge comes, the electronic will detect and

amplify it

At this stage, a little spark is

generated at the needle head

Once the surge is earthed, arc enters

in the arc chamber. this is

self extinguishingtime

Hot gas exit passing through

the exhaust channel that avoid

any fire risks

Little spark commutes the air gap, thus surge

energy is driven to ground

IEC 61439 – Structure

• IEC 61439 provides detail guidelines on how to

prove that assemblies derived from fully type-

tested assemblies comply with the new standard.

• IEC 60439 standard was not so easy to assess

whether partially type tested assemblies are

compliant.

• IEC 61439 standard will specify:

• by testing

• by calculations

• by design rules

New world standard

IEC 60439 – Future classification – IEC 61439

Today, due to a lack of clarity of IEC 60439 there is wide

range of interpretations on:

• How to carry out the verification,

• What is the acceptance criteria, and

• How many required number of verifications on

different specimen.

Verification by

• Type test

• Calculation

• Design rules

IEC 60439 – Future classification – IEC 61439

Previous ambiguities have been addressed, e.g. diversity, rating of circuits and substitution of devices.

The standard requires that the performance of every assembly is demonstrated at design and manufacturing stages by a combination of stringent and defined verification processes :–

• proving tests, • inspection, • design rules and/or calculation.

The new structure

• Tests carried out on devices to their own product

standard do not need to be duplicated when installed in

an assembly.

• The new standard fully recognises the use of

switchboards assembled from kit systems in accordance

with the original manufacturer’s instructions.

• The verification process no longer recognizes the

classifications of TTA. and PTTA., alternative and

equivalent methods to type tests are included

ArTu K Switchboards have undergone TTA tests foreseen by IEC 439-1 in the ABB & Falcon laboratories. The results guarantee the performance of ArTu K by using the structures and ABB SACE circuit breakers, therefore the assembler does not have to carry out any further type test by following the selection criteria and the assembly instruction for the various components

IEC 61439 – the new standard for low-voltage

switchgear and controlgear assemblies – was

issued Jan 2009.

One of the main improvements is that the

definition of fully Type Tested Assemblies (TTA)

and Partially Type Tested Assemblies (PTTA)

have been removed from the standard.

New world standard

IEC 61439 provides detail guidelines on how to

prove that assemblies derived from fully type-

tested assemblies comply with the new standard.

IEC 60439 standard was not so easy to assess

whether partially type tested assemblies are

compliant.

IEC 61439 standard will specify:

by testing

by calculations

by design rules

New world standard

If we have existing products that have already

been tested properly, this will not affect your IEC

60439 certification.

Tendency to provide more proof that their

product families follow the correct design

guidelines and rules to comply with IEC 61439.

It is no longer acceptable to provide an assembly

without a full design being fully proven.

It is difficult to make substitutions of one

component or product for another without

stringent assurances

How it affects us?

Certification and acceptance of products from IEC 60439 to

IEC 61439.

Moving our MS to IEC 61439

It is no longer acceptable to provide an assembly without a

full design being fully proven.

It is difficult to make substitutions of one component or

product for another without stringent assurances.

How it affects us?
