(Main)Methods of measurement of touch current and protective conductor current
Methods of measurement of touch current and protective conductor current
Defines measurement methods for d.c. or a.c. of sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal waveform, which could flow through the human body, and current flowing through a protective conductor. The measuring methods recommended for TOUCH CURRENT are based upon the possible effects of current flowing through a human body. In this standard, measurements of current through networks representing the impedance of the human body are referred to as measurements of TOUCH CURRENT. These networks are not necessarily valid for the bodies of animals. The basic safety publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. It is not intended for use by manufacturers or certification bodies. It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
Verfahren zur Messung von Berührungsstrom und Schutzleiterstrom
Méthodes de mesure du courant de contact et du courant dans le conducteur de protection
Définit des méthodes de mesure pour les courants continus ou les courants alternatifs de forme sinusoïdale ou non sinusoïdale qui peuvent traverser le corps humain, et les courants qui peuvent circuler dans un conducteur de protection. Les méthodes de mesure recommandées pour le COURANT DE CONTACT sont basées sur les effets possibles provoqués par le passage du courant dans le corps humain. Dans cette norme, les mesures de courant à travers des réseaux représentant l'impédance du corps humain sont appelées mesures du COURANT DE CONTACT. Les réseaux utilisés ne sont pas nécessairement valables pour des animaux. La présente publication fondamentale de sécurité est destinée principalement à être utilisée par les comités techniques lors de la préparation de normes conformément aux principes figurant dans le Guide 104 et le Guide ISO/CEI 51. Elle n'est pas destinée à être utilisée par les fabricants ou les organismes de certification. Elle a le statut d'une publication fondamentale de sécurité conformément au Guide CEI 104.
