Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 7-721: Requirements for special installations or locations - Electrical installations in caravans and motor caravans

IEC 60364-7-721:2017(E) lays down particular requirements applying to electrical circuits and equipment intended for the use of the caravan for habitation purposes. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - a minimum height of not less than 500 mm above the base of the cylinders is now required for cables passing through the gas cylinder compartment; - it is now required that each independent installation shall be provided with its own main isolating switch which shall disconnect all live conductors and which shall be suitably placed in a readily accessible location in the caravan.

Posebne zahteve tega dela standarda IEC 60364 se uporabljajo za električne inštalacije v počitniških prikolicah in avtodomih.
Uporabljajo se za električna vezja in opremo, predvidena za uporabo v počitniških prikolicah, namenjenih za bivanje.
Ne uporabljajo se za električna vezja in opremo, namenjena za avtomobile.
Ne uporabljajo se za električne inštalacije v mobilnih hišicah, hišicah v avtokampih in prevoznih enotah.
OPOMBA 1: Za mobilne hišice in hišice v avtokampih veljajo splošne zahteve.
OPOMBA 2: Za prevozne enote glej standard IEC 60364-7-717.
OPOMBA 3: Za namene tega dokumenta so počitniške prikolice in avtodomi imenovani »bivalne prikolice«.
Za take namestitve v bivalnih prikolicah lahko veljajo posebne zahteve nekaterih delov skupine standardov IEC 60364-7, na primer standarda IEC 60364-7-701.
