IEC 61558-2-16:2009 - Start year: 2017
Location: Global - Global

Description:

IEC 61558-2-16:2009 deals with the safety of switch mode power supply units and transformers for switch mode power supply units. Transformers incorporating electronic circuits are also covered by this standard. This Part 2-16 is intended to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 61558-1 and its amendments. It is based on the second edition (2005) of that standard. This first edition of IEC 61558-2-16 cancels and replaces IEC 61558-2-17, published in 1997. It constitutes a technical revision. This part has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 (1997): The preparation of safety publications and the use of basic safety publications and group safety publications.

Description:

This part 2 of IEC 61558 applies to associated power transformers for switch mode power supplies, single-phase or polyphase, air-cooled: separating transformers; isolating transformers; safety isolating transformers, 10 kVA for single-phase transformers; 16 kVA for polyphase transformers. This standard is applicable to dry type transformers. The windings may be encapsulated or non-encapsulated. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 61558-1

Notes:

Replacement:

This part 2 of IEC 61558 applies to associated power transformers for switch mode power supplies, single-phase or polyphase, air-cooled:

–separating transformers;

–isolating transformers;

–safety isolating transformers, having a rated supply voltage not exceeding 1000 V a.c. and a rated frequency of 500 Hz to 1 MHz, the rated output not exceeding:

– 10 kVA for single-phase transformers;

  • 16 kVA for polyphase transformers.

NOTE 1 – For higher frequencies, this standard may be used as a guide.

The no-load output voltage or the rated output voltage do not exceed:

– 1000 V a.c. or 1 415 V ripple-free d.c for separating transformers;

– 500 V a.c. or 708 V ripple-free d.c for isolating transformers.

NOTE 2 – For isolating transformers, the rated output voltage may be up to 1000 V a.c. or 1415 ripple-free d.c. in accordance with the national wiring rules or designed for special purposes.

– 50 V a.c. r.m.s. and/or 120 V ripple-free d.c for safety isolating transformers.

This standard is applicable to dry type transformers. The windings may be encapsulated or non-encapsulated.

NOTES 3 For transformers filled with liquid dielectric or pulverized material, such as sand, additional requirements are under consideration.

4 In locations where special environmental conditions prevail, particular requirements may be necessary in accordance with IEC 364-5-51.

5 For higher output no-load voltages, additional requirements are necessary but this section may be used as a guide.

Notes:

IEC 61558-2-16:2021 deals with the safety of switch mode power supply units and transformers for switch mode power supply units.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009 and amendment 1:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

  1. adjustment of structure and references in accordance with IEC 61558-1:2017;
  2. definitions of different voltage characteristics;
  3. partial discharge and description of constructions moved to IEC 61558-1:2017;
  4. alternative method for dimensioning of clearances;
  5. removal of requirements for homogeneous field conditions.

It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61558-1:2017.
