BS PD IEC TS 63290:2024

This document provides additional requirements for assemblies in accordance with the product standards of the IEC 61439 series (Part 2 onwards) that incorporate digital functions and communication, in addition to the conventional electromechanical features of assemblies to reflect what is defined within this document as intelligence. It specifies the definitions, service conditions, constructional requirements, technical characteristics and verification requirements that can be carried out in addition to the IEC 61439 series for intelligent low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies.

NOTE Throughout this document, the term assembly is used for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly.

Intelligence within an assembly takes many forms and ranges from the measurement of electrical values with analysis to full automation and monitoring for process, energy management, condition monitoring, etc.

This document is applicable to intelligent assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC; and designed for a nominal frequency of the incoming supply or supplies not exceeding 1 000 Hz.

This document does not apply to electrical equipment of machines (which is covered by the IEC 60204 series), and also does not apply to electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use (which is covered by the IEC 61010-2 series).
