IEC 60947-4-1 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 4-1

IEC 60947-4-1 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear – Part 4-1

This standard is applicable to
1. AC & DC contactors
2. AC motor starter
a. Direct-on-line (full voltage) a.c. starters
b. Reduced voltage a.c. starters
i. Star-delta starters
ii. Two-step auto-transformer starters
c. Rheostatic rotor starters
This standard does not apply to :
1. D.C starter
2. Star-delta starters, rheostatic rotor starters, two-step auto-transformer starters intended for special applications and designed for continuous operation in the starting position;
3. Unbalanced rheostatic rotor starters, i.e. where the resistances do not have the same
Value in all phases
4. Equipment designed not only for starting, but also for adjustment of speed;
5. Liquid starters and those of the “liquid-vapour” type;
6. Semiconductor contactors and starters making use of semiconductor contactors in the main circuit;
7. Rheostatic stator starters
8. Contactors or starters designed for special applications
9. Auxiliary contacts of contactors and contacts of contactor relays. These are dealt with in IEC 60947-5-1.
