Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1:1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents"
Drafting:
This document is equivalent to IEC TS62993:2017 "Determination of rated voltage above 1000V AC to:2000V, DC 1500V
Guide to the values of electrical clearances and creepage distances for equipment between 3000V and above and to the requirements for solid insulation:
The technical specifications are adjusted to become guiding technical documents for national standardization in my country:
Introduction
This document provides a smooth transition from low voltage (not exceeding 1000 V ac and 1500 V dc) as specified in IEC 60664 (all parts):
The additional insulation coordination for the transition to high voltage (IEC 60071-1 gives a range greater than 1000V, but the regulations given all start from 3600V)
The IEC 60071-1 standard does not contain provisions for personal safety requirements, and IEC 60071-1 does not provide creepage distance values:
Because many standard committees require the voltage range of AC 1000V to:2000V and DC 1500V to 3000V to be given:
This document is specially formulated to determine the electrical clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation methods for equipment within the enclosure:
This document does not intend to extend the upper limit of the low voltage range, which remains not more than 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC:
Make sure the rated voltage is above AC 1000V:
2000V, DC 1500V and above to 3000V
The values of electrical clearance and creepage distance between devices
and guidance on solid insulation requirements
1 Scope
This document is a technical specification that provides technical committees with the criteria for determining rated voltages from 1000V to:2000V AC and 1500V DC:
Insulation coordination guide for equipment with rated voltage not exceeding 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC, and with higher
For insulation coordination equipment with a voltage of 100 V or lower internal voltage, see IEC 60664-1 for relevant requirements:
This document applies to equipment at altitudes up to:2000m and provides guidance for use at higher altitudes:
This document specifies the electrical clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation guidelines for equipment to meet safety requirements, including relevant electrical tests
method:
NOTE: Since functional insulation requirements are not safety requirements, no corresponding provisions are made:
This document does not deal with the determination of the following distances:
---Insulation by liquid;
--- Passing gases other than air;
---By compressed air:
