Description
Type approval according
to German X-ray
regulations (RöV)
The vacuum interrupters fitted in the vacuum circuit-breakers are type-approved in
accordance with the X-ray regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany. They conform to
the requirements of the X-ray regulations of January 8, 1987 (Federal Law Gazette I 1987,
Page 114) in the new edition of April 30, 2003 (Federal Law Gazette I 2003, No. 17) up to the
value of the rated voltage stipulated in accordance with IEC/DIN VDE.
Electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC)
The a.m. standards as well as the "EMC Guide for Switchgear"
1
are applied during design,
manufacture and erection of the switchgear. Installation, connection and maintenance have
to be performed in accordance with the stipulations of the operating instructions. For
operation, the legal stipulations applicable at the place of installation have to be observed
additionally. In this way, the switchgear assemblies of this type series fulfill the basic
protection requirements of the EMC Directive.
Degrees of protection The panels of the 8DJH fulfill the following degrees of protection according to IEC 62271-200,
IEC 60529 and DIN VDE 0671-200:
• IP2X (standard) for parts under high voltage in switchgear panels with HV HRC fuses
• IP3X (option) for the switchgear enclosure of the operating front and the side walls
• IP3X (standard, option: IP4X) for low-voltage compartments
• IP65 for parts under high voltage in switchgear panels without HV HRC fuses
Transport regulations According to "Annex A of the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of
Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)" launched on September 30, 1957, Siemens gas-insulated
medium-voltage switchgear does not belong to the category of dangerous goods in respect of
transportation, and is exempted from special transport regulations according to ADR,
Clause 1.1.3.1 b).
