1 Scope
This part of IEC 60947 series
specifies requirements for control units , which control a switching device in response to the PTC thermistors incorporated in rotating electrical machines and the industrial application.
It specifies requirements for that type of system comprising a positive temperature
coefficient ( PTC ) thermistor having particular characteristics, and its associated control unit .
This document
includes:
– the characteristics, construction, performance and tests of the control unit ; and
– its association with a PTC thermistor designated “Mark A”.
This document
does not cover:
– the incorporation of thermal protections into rotating machines and their maximum
winding temperature. See IEC 60034‑11;
– use of the product within explosive atmospheres (see IEC 60079 (all parts));
– software and firmware requirements;
