Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors

This European Standard deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motor-compressors

This draft amendment prAB, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN IEC 60335-2-34:2023; it is submitted to CENELEC
members for enquiry.
Deadline for CENELEC: 2024-08-09.

It has been drawn up by CLC/TC 61.

If this draft becomes an amendment, CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which
stipulate the conditions for giving this amendment the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CENELEC in three official versions (English, French, German).
A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to
the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Türkiye and the United Kingdom.

European foreword
This document (EN IEC 60335-2-34:2023/prAB:2024) has been prepared by CLC/TC 61 “Safety of household
and similar electrical appliances”.
This document is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
The following dates are proposed:
• latest date by which the existence of this document (doa) dor + 6 months
has to be announced at national level
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) dor + 12 months
implemented at national level by publication of an
identical national standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) dor + 36 months
conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn (to be confirmed or
modified when voting)
This document is read in conjunction with EN IEC 60335-2-34:2023 and EN IEC 60335-2-34:2023/A11:2023.
The numbering system for European clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes that are additional

4. housing internal volume and relative maximum allowable pressure (PS)
5. locked rotor amperage (LRA) for motor-compressors without electronic circuit or with the maximum
current value as measured before cut off for motor-compressors with incorporated or associated
electronic circuit
