Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems - Part 5-1: Safety requirements - Electrical, thermal and energy

IEC 61800-5-1:2022 specifies requirements for adjustable speed electrical power drive systems (PDS) or their elements, with respect to electrical, thermal, fire, mechanical, energy and other relevant hazards. It does not cover the driven equipment except for interface requirements. It applies to adjustable speed electrical PDS which include the power conversion, basic drive module (BDM)/complete drive module (CDM) control, and a motor or motors.Excluded are traction and electric vehicle BDM/CDM.It applies to low-voltage adjustable speed electrical PDS intended to feed a motor or motors from a BDM/CDM connected to phase-to-phase voltages of up to and including 1,0 kV AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and up to and including 1,5 kV DC. It also applies to high-voltage adjustable speed electrical PDS intended to feed a motor or motors from a BDM/CDM connected to phase-to-phase voltages of up to and including 35 kV AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and up to and including 52 kV DC.This document also applies to PDS which intentionally emits or receives radio waves for the purpose of radio communication.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) harmonization with IEC 62477-1:2022;b) harmonization with UL 61800-5-1 and CSA C22.2 No. 274, including an annex with a list of national deviation which was considered not possible to harmonize within a reasonable timeframe;c) more detailed information about the evaluation of components according to this document and relevant safety component standards;d) updated requirement for mechanical hazards including multiple IP ratings.The contents of the corrigendum 1 (2023-09) have been included in this copy.

Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems - Part 5-1: Safety requirements - Electrical, thermal and energy

IEC 61800-5-1:2007 It specifies requirements for adjustable speed power drive systems, or their elements, with respect to electrical, thermal and energy safety considerations. It does not cover the driven equipment except for interface requirements. It applies to adjustable speed electric drive systems which include the power conversion, drive control, and motor or motors. Excluded are traction and electric vehicle drives. It applies to d.c. drive systems connected to line voltages up to 1 kV a.c., 50 Hz or 60 Hz and a.c. drive systems with converter input voltages up to 35 kV, 50 Hz or 60 Hz and output voltages up to 35 kV. The major areas of change in this edition are the following: - addition of alphabetical Table 1 in Clause 3; - addition of Table 2 in 4.1 for relevance to PDS/CDM/BDM; - addition of Table 4 summary of decisive voltage class requirements; - expansion of subclause on protective bonding (4.3.5.3); - clarification of distinction between touch current and protective conductor current; - revision of section on insulation (now 4.3.6) to include solid insulation; - addition of overvoltage categories I and II to HV insulation voltage; - revision of section on Solid insulation (now 4.3.6.8); - addition of high-frequency insulation requirements (4.3.6.9, Annex E); - addition of requirements for liquid-cooled PDS (4.4.5); - addition of climatic and vibration tests (5.2.6); - clarification of voltage test procedure to avoid over-stress of basic insulation (5.2.3.2.3); - revision of short-circuit test requirement for large, high-voltage and one-off PDS (now 5.2.3.6); - addition of informative Annex B for overvoltage category reduction.
