IEC 60947-5-8-2020 pdf free.Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear – Part 5-8: Control circuit devices and switching elements – Three-position enabling switches.
This part of IEC 60947 series specifies requirements for three-position enabling switches.
These switches are used as components of enabling devices to provide signals that,
a) when activated, allow machine operation to be initiated by a separate start control, and b) when de-activated,
— initiate a stop function, and
— prevent initiation of machine operation.
NOTE I The enabling control function is described in 9.2.3.9 of IEC 60204-1:2016 but the application of three- position enabling switches is not limited to a component of the enabling device described in IEC 60204-i
NOTE 2 This document does not deal with enabling devices.
These switches are intended to be connected to circuits which rated voltage does not exceed
250 V AC 50 Hz]60 Hz or 300 V DC.
EXAMPLE Devices Incorporating three-position enabling switches are:
— push-button enabling devices:
— grip actuated enabling devices;
– foot actuated enabling devices.
See Annex A for more typical examples, This document does not apply to:
— three-position enabling switches for non-electrical control circuits, for example hydraulic, pneumatic;
— enabling switches without three-position mechanism;
— emergency stop devices (see IEC 60947-5-5).
