Standard

This part of the IEC 62485 applies to stationary secondary batteries and battery installations with a maximum voltage of DC 1 500 V (nominal) and describes the principal measures for protections against hazards generated from electricity, gas emission, and electrolyte.

The standard provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the erection, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal of cells and batteries for stationary applications and motive (other than on-road vehicle). Under development moving toward the committee draft voting stage. Includes safety requirements for lithium-ion cells for stationary and off-road motive applications and some battery requirements (evaluation of battery and battery management system [BMS] combination). Not a system standard, as it covers only battery and BMS interaction.

The standard specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for large format lithium-ion secondary single cells and batteries used in Industrial Applications including Stationary applications.

The standard covers specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic secondary single cells.

The standard provides electrical and mechanical requirements for liquid-immersed distribution and power transformers, and autotransformers and regulating transformers; single- and polyphase, with voltages of 601 V or higher in the highest voltage winding, are set forth. It is basis for the establishment of performance, and limited electrical and mechanical interchangeability requirements of equipment are described, and for assistance in the proper selection of such equipment.

The standard covers electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics, taking into consideration certain safety features, for current and inductively coupled voltage transformers of types generally used in the measurement of electricity and the control of equipment associated with the generation, transmission, and distribution of alternating current. The aim is to provide a basis for performance, interchangeability, and safety of equipment covered and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment. Accuracy classes for metering service are provided.

1.1 This standard covers molded-case circuit breakers, circuit-breaker and ground-fault circuit interrupters, fused circuit breakers and accessory high-fault protectors. These circuit breakers are specifically intended to provide service entrance, feeder and branch circuit protection in accordance with the National Installation Codes in Annex B, Ref. 1. This standard covers instantaneous-trip circuit breakers (circuit interrupters) specifically intended as part of a combination motor controller in accordance with the National Installation Codes in Annex B, Ref. 1.

1.1 These requirements cover electrochemical capacitors for use in equipment such as electronic products, uninterruptible power supplies, emergency lighting, engine starting, and power equipment. These energy storage capacitors, also known as electric double-layer capacitors, ultra capacitors, double-layer capacitors or supercapacitors, consist of either individual capacitors or multiple series and/or parallel connected capacitors with or without associated circuitry.1.2 These requirements do not cover electrochemical capacitors for use in hazardous (Classified) locations.

1.1 These requirements cover primary (nonrechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products.
