The new IEC61439 standards are fast approaching Rittal has produced a new guide book which offers insight into the IEC61439 standards. The book ‘Standard-compliant Switchgear and Control Protection’ provides guidance to customers on how to comply with the IEC61439 standards.
Relating to the construction of control panels and electrical distribution systems, the new standards will be in force from November 2014 an impact upon the design of the panel, selection of components and the testing methodology used.
Essentially, the panel will become a system, this means the designer/ panel builder must consider the enclosure, cooling equipment, the effects of heat upon the components, busbar system, mechanical properties and the generation of test documentation, which is a requirement.
