This part of IEC 62146 includes generalities of capacitors used on alternating current circuitbreakers and introduces specifications for grading capacitors. Regarding grading capacitors, their function is to control the voltage distribution across the individual interrupter units of a multi-break circuit-breaker.
Capacitors can also be used in parallel to the interrupter unit on single break circuit-breakers to modify the Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV). This TRV capacitor application is covered by IEC 62146-2:2023.
Capacitors for high-voltage alternating circuit breakers are sub-components for the circuitbreaker and are specified in accordance with the circuit-breaker specifications according to IEC 62271-1, IEC 62271-100, and if applicable to IEC 62271-203.
This document applies to grading capacitors falling into one or both of the following categories for:
− mounting on air-insulated circuit-breakers.
− mounting on enclosed circuit-breakers (for example immersed in insulating gas, in oil, etc.).
The testing for each of the above applications is in some cases different.
The object of this document is:
− to define uniform rules regarding performances, testing and rating;
− to define specific safety rules;
− to provide a guidance for installation and operation.
NOTE CIGRÉ TB-368 presents a study about the operating environment of voltage grading capacitors applied to high-voltage circuit-breakers (see [2]1).

This part of IEC 61076 specifies circular connectors with bayonet locking size B12, B17, B23 and B40, typically used for power, signal and data transmissions in industrial applications.
These connectors consist of fixed and free connectors either rewirable or non-rewirable.
NOTE B indicates that the connector is equipped with bayonet locking, while 12, 17, 23, 40 are the approximate dimensions in millimetres of the contact carrier diameter of these circular connectors.
Power contacts of male connectors are round contacts with Ø 1 mm, Ø 1,5 mm, Ø 1,8 mm, Ø 2,25 mm and Ø 4 mm, with current ratings up to 64 A per pole and rated voltage of 50 V, 300 V or 600 V AC/DC. Power contact groups are classified by type and identified throughout this document as “P” followed by two digits “01” through “09” (see 4.3, Table 1).
Signal contacts of male connectors are round contacts with Ø 1 mm and Ø 1,8 mm, with current ratings up to 20 A per pole and rated voltage of 50 V AC/DC. Signal contact groups are classified by type and identified throughout this document as “S” followed by “0”, “1”, or “2” (see 4.3, Table 2).
Male data contacts are round with Ø 0,8 mm and Ø 1 mm, with current ratings up to 4 A and rated voltage of 50 V AC/DC, Data modules are classified by type and identified throughout this document as “D” followed by “1”, or “2” (see 4.3, Table 3). D1 modules provide data transmission with frequencies from 1 MHz to 100 MHz; D2 modules provide data transmission with frequencies from 0,1 MHz to 600 MHz.
Besides the size of their bayonet locking (B12, B17, B23 or B40), connectors according to this document can be identified by data module (D) and complementing power (P) and signal (S) contact groups and optionally by number of poles, and finally by their application.
These connectors are designated for two main target applications, which differ as follows:
– Application A is for data transmission with power over data.
– Application B is for data transmission without power over data.
Connectors with power, signal and data contacts of the same gender are intended to also transmit power over the data contacts (application A), while connectors with data contacts not of the same gender of power and signal contacts are not intended to transmit power over the data contacts (application B).
The codings provided by this document prevent the mating to any other connector with similarly sized interfaces covered by this document.

This part of IEC 60909 is applicable to the calculation of short-circuit currents
– in low-voltage three-phase AC systems,
– in high-voltage three-phase AC systems, and
– operating at a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Systems at highest voltages of 550 kV and above with long transmission lines are outside the scope of this document.
This document establishes a general, practicable and concise procedure leading to results which are generally of acceptable accuracy. For this calculation method, an equivalent voltage source at the short-circuit location is introduced. This does not exclude the use of special methods, for example the superposition method, adjusted to particular circumstances, if they give at least the same precision. The superposition method gives the short-circuit current related to the one load flow presupposed. This method, therefore, does not necessarily lead to the maximum respective minimum short-circuit current.
This document deals with the calculation of short-circuit currents in the case of balanced or unbalanced short circuits.
A single line-to-earth fault occurring in networks with isolated or resonant earthing of the neutral point is beyond the scope of this document.
For currents during two separate simultaneous single-phase line-to-earth short circuits in an isolated neutral system or a resonance earthed neutral system, see IEC 60909-3.
Short-circuit currents and short-circuit impedances can also be determined by system tests, by measurement on a network analyser, or numerical simulations with electromagnetic programs.
In existing low-voltage systems, it is possible to determine the short-circuit impedance on the basis of measurements at the location of the prospective short circuit considered.
The calculation of the short-circuit impedance is in general based on the rated data of the electrical equipment and the topological arrangement of the system and has the advantage of being possible both for existing systems and for systems at the planning stage.
In general, two types of short-circuit currents, which differ in their magnitude, are considered:
– maximum short-circuit current which determines the capacity or rating of electrical equipment;
– minimum short-circuit current which can be a basis, for example, for the selection of fuses, for the setting of protective devices, and for checking the run-up of motors.
NOTE The current in a three-phase short circuit is assumed to be made simultaneously in all poles. Investigations of non-simultaneous short circuits, which can lead to higher aperiodic components of short-circuit currents, are beyond the scope of this document.
This document does not cover short-circuit currents deliberately created under controlled conditions (short-circuit testing stations).
This document does not deal with the calculation of short-circuit currents in installations on board ships and aeroplanes.
This document does not distinguish between grid-forming and grid-following converters for the calculation of short-circuit currents.

The present document is aimed at defining the topology and level of analysis to assess the energy efficiency of mobile networks. Within the scope of the present document there is also the focus on the most energy consuming part, which is the radio access part of the mobile networks, and namely there are radio base stations, backhauling systems, radio controllers and other infrastructure radio site equipment. The covered technologies are GSM, UMTS, LTE and 5G New Radio (NR). In particular the present document defines metrics for mobile network energy efficiency and methods for assessing (and measuring) energy efficiency in operational networks. The purpose of the present document is to allow better comprehension of networks energy efficiency, in particular considering the networks' evolution in different periods in time. Aiming to consider also the slicing approach of the networks from 5G onwards the metrics are extended to the latency of the network itself related to the energy consumed, additionally to the metrics based on traffic and on coverage, already existing for legacy networks and still valid. The present document deals with both a homogeneous and heterogeneous "network" considering a network whose size and scale could be defined by topologic, geographic or demographic boundaries. For networks defined by topologic boundaries, a possible example of a network covered by the present document consists of a control node (whenever applicable), its supported access nodes as well as the related network elements. Networks could be defined by geographic boundaries, such as city-wide, national or continental networks and could be defined by demographic boundaries, such as urban or rural networks. The present document applies to the so-called "partial" networks for which a measurement method is also recommended. The present document extends the measurements in partial networks to wider so-called "total" networks energy efficiency estimations (i.e. the network in a geographic area, the network in a whole country, the network of a MNO, etc.). Terminal (end-user) equipment is outside the scope of the present document and is not considered in the energy efficiency measurement.

This part of IEC 60947 provides additional requirements to those given in IEC 60947-5-2 and IEC 60947-5-1:2024, Annex D (reed contact magnetic switches). It addresses the fault performance aspects of proximity devices with a defined behaviour under fault conditions (PDDB). It does not address any other characteristics that can be required for specific applications.
This document does not apply to protective equipment to directly detect the presence of persons, that are covered by the IEC 61496 series or IEC TS 62998 series.
NOTE 1 A PDDB device can be used to detect indirectly the presence of a person, for example by detecting the position of a platform on which the operator stands (example, garbage trucks).
This document does not specify requirements for the analogue output of PDDB, if any.
This document does not deal with any specific requirements on acoustic noise as the noise emission of proximity devices is not considered to be a relevant hazard.
A PDDB product is intended to be used as sensing subsystem of a safety related control system according to IEC 62061 or ISO 13849-1. Depending on construction principles and complexity, this document is based on product development of the IEC 61508 series to meet the product specific requirements of one or more of the following:
– IEC 61508 series;
– IEC 62061;
– ISO 13849 series.
NOTE 2 The Functional safety device type classification regarding functional safety correlates with IEC 62683-2-3.
This document includes requirements for PDDB when designed for use as part of an interlocking device according to ISO 14119.
This document does not consider aspects of:
