Applicable Standards And Directives For Installation And Operation - ABB EDS500 Series Manual

Applicable standards and directives for installation and oper-
ation
2.3 Applicable standards and directives for
installation and operation
The devices of the ABB EDS500 series are produced in compliance with the relevant
regulations and standards.
According to IEC 60664-1 (DIN VDE 0110-1) Insulation coordination for equipment within low-
voltage systems – Part 1: Principles, requirements and tests, classification of the EDS500
series is as follows:
• Pollution degree 2
Only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a temporary conductivity
caused by condensation is to be expected.
• Overvoltage category II
in accordance with the definitions in IEC 60364-4-44
The owner of the devices and components is responsible to ensure that they are installed
safely and in compliance with the applicable local laws and regulations.

IEC/EN 60204 (DIN VDE 0113)
EN 50178 (DIN VDE 0160)
EN 50310 (DIN VDE
0800-2-310)
Table 3: Standards
If the "Pollution degree 2" classification according to DIN VDE 0110 cannot be guaranteed or if
further protection against direct contact is required, mount the devices into suitable cubicles.
If devices of the EDS500 series are coupled with or supplied through power-frequency
voltage networks of overvoltage category III, take suitable protective action, such as
installing surge voltage protectors, to guarantee that overvoltage category II (1500 V max.
transient) according to DIN VDE 0110 applies at the terminal connectors. The secondary
circuit should be connected to protective terminal.
