Overview

The IEC 60730-2-14:2017/AMD1:2019 is an important amendment to the international standard governing automatic electrical controls, specifically addressing the particular requirements for electric actuators. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment enhances and clarifies conditions relating to the safety, performance, and testing of electric actuators used in automatic electrical control systems.

Electric actuators are critical components that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion in a variety of applications. This standard amendment outlines precise requirements to ensure their reliable and safe operation across industries, reflecting updates based on the latest technology and market needs.

Key Topics

  • Scope Extension: The amendment specifies that IEC 60730-2-14 applies not only to standard electric actuators but also to those powered by primary or secondary batteries, as well as actuators incorporating electronic devices and thermistor elements such as NTC or PTC types.

  • Safety and Functional Requirements: Emphasis is placed on the electrical and functional safety of actuators, especially those capable of receiving and responding to communication signals. This includes controls for power billing rates and demand response, covering both wired and wireless communications.

  • Mechanical Load Classification: The amendment clarifies definitions for maximum rated mechanical load, applied to rotary and linear movement actuators. It introduces notes on how maximum torque or force can be expressed relative to the actuator’s travel range.

  • Testing and Compliance: Detailed conditions on mechanical loading during testing are introduced, requiring electric actuators to be tested under maximum rated mechanical loads. Additional requirements for voltage dips, interruptions, surge immunity, and supply frequency variation tests are described for electronic controls integrated with actuators.

  • Information Disclosure: Manufacturers are required to provide detailed and accurate information about the actuators, including mechanical load capabilities, operating times, cycle endurance (minimum of 6,000 cycles), and compliance methods tailored to the actuator type and mounting configuration.

  • Regional Variations: The amendment acknowledges regional differences such as those applicable in the United States, ensuring that testing and information provision meet local regulatory expectations without compromising international harmonization.

Applications

IEC 60730-2-14:2017/AMD1:2019 is critical for manufacturers, engineers, and quality control specialists involved in the design, production, and certification of electric actuators used in:

  • HVAC systems for climate control
  • Industrial automation and process control
  • Building automation for energy management
  • Electrical appliances and control systems requiring automatic actuation
  • Energy systems with communication-enabled actuators responding to smart grid or demand response signals

This standard helps ensure actuators are safe, tested under realistic mechanical and electrical conditions, and compatible with modern communication and energy management technologies.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60730-1: General requirements for automatic electrical controls-the core document with which part 2-14 must be used in conjunction.
  • IEC 60730 series: Various parts addressing different types of automatic controls and their respective testing requirements.
  • IEC 61000 series: Pertaining to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), often relevant for actuators with integrated electronic controls.
  • Regional standards and regulations: Incorporating national requirements such as UL standards in the U.S. that reflect particular testing or safety considerations for electric actuators.

By adhering to IEC 60730-2-14:2017/AMD1:2019, stakeholders ensure electric actuators meet stringent safety and performance standards, providing reliable automatic control solutions suitable for the evolving demands of global electric and electronic industries.

This part 2-14 applies also to electric actuators incorporating electronic devices,
requirements for which are contained in Annex H.
1.1.8 Replacement:
This part 2-14 applies also to electric actuators using NTC or PTC thermistors, requirements

The signals may be transmitted to or received from external units being part of the electric
actuator (wired), or to and from external units, which are not part of the electric actuator
(wireless) under test.
1.1.10 Replacement:
This part 2-14 does not address the integrity of the output signal to the network devices, such
as interoperability with other devices unless it has been evaluated as part of the control system.

2 Terms and definitions
Add the following new definition:
2.3.106
maximum rated mechanical load
maximum mechanical resistance to the active movement of an actuator under normal operating

6 Classification
6.4.102.1 Rotary movement
Add the following new note:
NOTE Maximum rated mechanical load for rotary movement actuators can be declared in terms of rated torque
(for the complete angular rotation) or, alternatively, in terms of maximum torque, running torque and percentage of
the angular rotation in which the maximum torque occurs. The value of the percentage of the angular rotation in
which the maximum torque occurs is independent from any specific position within the travel of the actuator; maximum
