Low Voltage Switchgear and Control Gear IEC 60947-4-1 Contactors and Motor-Starters Testing and Measuring Equipment/Allowed Subcontracting

Uploaded by

Abhijeet Kumar Singh

This document outlines the testing and measuring equipment required to test low voltage switchgear and control gear according to IEC 60947-4-1 standards. It lists the specific tests, equipment needed, and whether subcontracting is allowed. Some key tests include verification of temperature rise, dielectric properties, rated making and breaking capacities, short circuit performance, and degrees of protection. High current test units, various voltage and current measurement devices, temperature chambers, and dust/water protection test equipment are required. While some tests require equipment to be performed in-house, others allow subcontracting of equipment above 1kA or 10kA current ratings.
