IEC 61230:2008适用于便携式设备，有或没有匹配的连接点，用于电气隔离或断电的交流电的临时接地或接地和短路。和华盛顿。设施、配电和输电网络，无论是架空的还是地下的，还是低压的还是高压的。本标准涵盖包括接地或短路或接地和短路装置以及绝缘部件的设备。本标准涵盖的设备、装置和部件的性能基于短路期间作用的电动力和电热效应。器件和设备的承受能力由其额定电流、时间和峰值因数表示。没有给出额定电压，但设备的几何尺寸也与安装电压相关联。这第二版取消并取代了1993年出版的第一版。它构成技术修订。主要变化有: -扩大范围以涵盖在华盛顿使用设备。装置； -将铝的使用扩展到设备的所有导电部分； -将本标准用于设备的单独部件的可能性； -要求和测试的一般修订； -修订现有附件； -引入新的资料性附件D，为确定等效r.m.s.提供指导。短路电流值和关于缺陷分类的新规范附件F。

IEC 61230:2008 is applicable to portable equipment, with or without matching connection points, for temporary earthing or earthing and short-circuiting of electrically isolated or de-energized a.c. and d.c. installations, distribution and transmission networks, whether they are overhead or underground or of low or high voltage. This standard covers equipment comprising an earthing or a short-circuiting or an earthing and short-circuiting device and insulating component. The performance of equipment, devices and components covered by this standard is based on electro-dynamic and electro-thermal effects acting during short-circuit. The withstand capability of the devices and equipment is expressed by their rated values of current, time and peak factor. No rated voltage is given, but the geometrical dimensions of the equipment are also linked to the voltage of the installation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993. It constitutes a technical revision. The major changes are:
- extension of the scope to cover the use of equipment on d.c. installations;
- extension of the use of aluminium to all conductive parts of the device;
- possibility of using this standard for separate components of the equipment;
- general revision of requirements and tests;
- revision of existing annexes;
- introduction of a new informative Annex D giving guidelines for determination of the equivalent r.m.s. value of a short-circuit current and of a new normative Annex F on classification of defects.
