Scope

This document applies to docking connectors (hereinafter referred to as accessories) incorporated in or fixed to electrical equipment, intended to connect removable energy storage units to a dedicated electric power conversion unit, to an energy consuming unit or to another energy storage unit. These accessories are intended for DC and may include an earth1 contact and/or optional auxiliary contacts for signaling and data. These accessories have a rated current of up to 800 A and rated operating voltages not exceeding 1000 V DC. These accessories are not suitable for mating or unmating under load. These accessories are intended to be installed by instructed persons (IEC 60050-195:1998, 195-04-02) or skilled persons (IEC 60050-195:1998, 195-04-01) only. The list of preferred ratings is not intended to exclude other ratings. This document applies to accessories for use under environmental conditions as described in Clause 32. These accessories are intended to be connected to current carrying parts in copper or copper alloy only, plated or not plated. This document also applies to accessories intended to be used at extra-low voltage. In locations where special conditions prevail, for example on board vehicles, additional requirements may apply. These accessories are intended to be used with a specific charging system. NOTE For conditions other than operation, additional requirements could be applicable, for instance IEC 62133 and the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods section 38.338.3.
