IEC 61557-14:2013

April 2013
International standard Cancelled

Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c and 1 500 V d.c - Equipment for testing,measuring or monitoring of protective measures - Part 14: Equipment for testing the safety of electrical equipment for machinery

IEC 61557-14:2013 defines special requirements for test and measurement equipment used to determine the electrical safety of electrical equipment of machinery according to IEC 60204-1. IEC 61010 and the existing parts of series IEC 61557 do not cover all safety aspects of testing electrical equipment of machinery. IEC 61557-14 provides additional protection against electric shock for the testing person and bystanders during high-voltage-tests and in case of unintended use of the test equipment. It defines performance requirements for each measuring and testing function to ensure comparable results.

International standard Current
Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC - Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures - Part 14: Equipment for testing the safety of electrical equipment of machinery

IEC 61557-14:2023 defines special requirements for test and measurement equipment used to determine the electrical safety of electrical equipment of machinery in accordance with IEC 60204-1. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61557-1:2019. IEC 61557-14:2023 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) clarifying the introduction; b) replaced "dielectric strength" by "voltage test"; c) requirement for maximum output current has been added in 4.2.6.1; d) tripping time at electrical switching activated by two-hand operation has been added in 4.2.6.1; e) additional time limiting capability for the protection against electric shock for test persons and bystanders in 4.2.6.2; f) updated references for safety testing; g) alignment of the structure with that of the whole IEC 61557 series.
