Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies―Part 7:Assemblies for specific applications such as marinas,camping sites,market squares,electric vehicles charging stations
1 Scope
Note 1: Throughout this part, the terms AMHS (see 3.1.101), ACCS (see 3.1.102), AMPS (see 3.1.103), ACSEV (see 3.1.104) are used for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies intended for use respectively in marinas and similar locations (AMHS), camping sites and similar locations (ACCS), market squares and other similar external public sites (AMPS), charging stations (ACSEV). The term ASSEMBLIES is used for indicating all the boards.
This part of GB 7251 defines the specific requirements of assemblies as follows:
- assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1,000V in case of a.c. or 1,500V in case of d.c;
- stationary or movable assemblies with enclosure;
- assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment;
- assemblies operated by ordinary persons;
- assemblies intended to be installed and used in marinas, camping sites, market squares and other similar external public sites or similar sites;
- assemblies intended for charging stations for electric vehicles.
Note 2: Assemblies intended for charging stations for electric vehicles (ACSEV) are designed to integrate the functionality for electric vehicle conductive charging systems according to IEC 61851-1.
This part is applicable to all assemblies whether they are designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardised and manufactured in quantity.
The manufacture and/or assembly may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer (see GB 7251.1-2013, 3.10.1).
This part is not applicable to individual electrical equipment and self-contained components, such as circuit breakers, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which comply with the relevant product standards.
Note 3: Where electrical equipment is directly connected to public low voltage supply system and equipped with a meter for billing of the legal provider of the low voltage supply, particular requirements based on national regulations apply, if any.
This part is not applicable to boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories for household and similar fixed electrical installations as defined in IEC 60670-24.
