This part of IEC 61810, with functional and safety aspects, applies to electromechanical elementary relays (non-specified time all-or-nothing relays) with high capability requirements like breaking or short circuit capabilities and similar for incorporation into low-voltage equipment. These relays may have a specific design to extinguish the electric arc between contacts (e.g. by magnetic blow-out), or use an insulation coordination not covered by IEC 61810-1 (e.g. by gas filled contact chambers), or require safety assessments not covered
by IEC 61810-1 (e.g. for higher loads).
It defines additional requirements for high-capacity relays with generic performance intended for use in applications in smart grids, electric vehicles and other applications where, for example, battery charge/discharge switching is used, such as:
• electrical energy storage (EES) systems,• solar photovoltaic energy systems,• electric road vehicles (EV) and electric industrial trucks,• power electronic systems and equipment,• secondary cells and batteries,• road vehicles.
Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the type tests indicated.Cross References:IEC 60068-2-14IEC 60068-2-27IEC 60270IEC 60068-2-17IEC 60999-2IEC 60028IEC 60999-1IEC 61810-1:2015IEC 60947-1:2007IEC 60664-1:2007IEC 60068-2-64:2008ISO 16750-2:2012IEC 60060-1:2010IEC 60664-3:2016ISO 16750-1:2018IEC 60068-2-20IEC 60947-5-1IEC 60060-1IEC 60417IEC 60364-4-44IEC 61984IEC 60695-2-10IEC 60664 (all parts)IEC 60085IEC 60038IEC 61210IEC 60947-2:2016ISO 16750-3:2012IEC 60050-441:1984IEC 61810-7:2006All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
