Introduction

The hazard caused by fire is essentially an electrical hazard. The installation procedures and product standards of electrical equipment are also designed to not affect product safety.

On the basis of full and function, provide measures to reduce risks and reduce residual risks as much as possible.

When selected, installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and installation procedures, the IEC 60947 series standard low-voltage switchgear and

The residual risk of control equipment is relatively low, and it will not cause fire during normal operation or foreseeable failure conditions.

This document is consistent with ISO /IEC Guide 51 and IEC Guide 116.

Risk analysis and risk reduction measures, although they are applicable to the requirements of low-voltage switchgear and control equipment, other product committees can also make

For reference.

This document studies the fire hazards (i.e. fire mechanism) related to low-voltage switchgear and control equipment. The IEC 60947 series standard

Measures to reduce risks in the standards will be specified in this document.

These measures are based on a systematic approach and are not limited to material requirements, but also include design rules and type tests to ensure that the equipment is in normal operation or

It will not cause fire under reasonably foreseeable failure conditions.
