60947sarja

The 60947-sarja refers to a series of international standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These standards specifically address low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. The "sarja" is a Finnish word meaning "series" or "set," indicating that this is not a single standard but a collection of related documents.

The primary purpose of the 60947-sarja is to ensure the safety, performance, and reliability of electrical equipment used in low-voltage applications. This includes a wide range of devices such as circuit breakers, switches, disconnectors, fuses, relays, and motor starters. The standards provide detailed requirements for design, construction, testing, and marking of these products.

Compliance with the 60947-sarja is crucial for manufacturers to demonstrate that their products meet established safety and performance benchmarks. This often involves rigorous testing by accredited laboratories. Users of this equipment, such as installers and end-users, rely on these standards to make informed decisions and ensure the safe and effective operation of their electrical installations. The series is continually updated to reflect technological advancements and evolving safety requirements in the electrical industry.
