Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear -- Part 8: Control units for built-in thermal protection (PTC) for rotating electrical machines
Specifies rules for control units, which perform the switching functions in response to the thermal detectors incorporated in rotating electrical machines according to EN 60034-11, and the industrial application. It specifies rules for that type of system comprising a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor detector having particular characteristics, and its associated control unit. The PT100 detectors are covered by EN 60751, where the resistor values are given according to the temperatures of the detector. The present rules lay down the characteristics of association of this particular positive temperature coefficient thermistor detector and its associated control unit (designated Mark A detector and Mark A control unit), when they are used in thermal protection systems. NOTE It is not possible to specify all the requirements for the operating characteristics of a control unit, as they are dependent on some aspects of the thermal detectors. Some aspects of the requirements of the thermal protector system can only be specified when account is taken of the characteristics of the rotating machine to be protected and the method of installation of the detector within the machine. For these reasons, for each characteristic it is necessary to specify who is responsible for stating the required values and who is responsible for compliance with the requirement and for carrying out any confirmatory test.

NOTE Il n'est pas possible de spécifier toutes les prescriptions pour les caractéristiques de fonctionnement d'une unité de commande, puisqu'elles sont dépendantes de certains aspects des détecteurs thermiques. Certains aspects des prescriptions du dispositif de protection thermique peuvent seulement être spécifiés lorsque sont pris en compte les caractéristiques de la machine tournante à protéger et le mode d'installation du détecteur dans la machine. Pour ces raisons, il est nécessaire de spécifier, pour chaque caractéristique, qui est responsable de la déclaration des valeurs requises et qui est responsable de la conformité aux prescriptions et de l'exécution de tout essai de vérification de la conformité.
Nizkonapetostne stikalne naprave – 8. del: Krmilne enote za vgrajeno toplotno zaščito (PTC) rotacijskih električnih strojev (IEC 60947-8:2003)

Določa pravila za to vrsto sistema s termistorskim detektorjem s pozitivnim temperaturnim koeficientom (PTC) s posebnimi značilnostmi in z njim povezano krmilno enoto. Detektorji PT100 so zajeti v standardu IEC 60751, pri čemer so vrednosti upora podane v skladu s temperaturami detektorja. Ta pravila določajo značilnosti povezave tega termistorskega detektorja s pozitivnim temperaturnim koeficientom in z njim povezane krmilne enote (pri čemer sta označena kot »detektor z oznako A« in »krmilna enota z oznako A«), kadar se uporabljata v toplotnih zaščitnih sistemih. OPOMBA Vseh zahtev za obratovalne značilnosti krmilne enote ni mogoče določiti, saj so odvisne od nekaterih vidikov toplotnih detektorjev. Nekatere vidike zahtev toplotnega zaščitnega sistema je mogoče določiti le ob upoštevanju značilnosti rotacijskega stroja, ki bo zaščiten, in metode vgradnje detektorja v stroj. Zato je treba za vsako značilnost določiti, kdo je odgovoren za navedbo zahtevanih vrednosti, skladnost z zahtevo in izvedbo morebitnih potrditvenih preskusov.

Overview - EN 60947-8:2003 (PTC control units)
EN 60947-8:2003 (CLC adoption of IEC 60947-8:2003) is a European standard within the low-voltage switchgear and controlgear series. It specifies rules for control units that respond to built-in thermal detectors (PTC thermistors) used for thermal protection of rotating electrical machines. The standard defines the characteristics and the required association between a particular PTC detector (designated Mark A) and its associated Mark A control unit, laying out how the detector and control unit together perform switching functions to protect motors from overheating.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of protection: Rules for thermal protection systems that use positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor detectors incorporated in rotating machines per EN 60034-11.
- Detector - control unit association: Characteristics and behaviour of the Mark A detector and Mark A control unit when used as a matched system.
- Complementary detectors: Reference to other sensor types (e.g., PT100 covered by EN 60751) and to thermistor specifications (IEC/EN 60738-1).
- Standards integration: This Part 8 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60947-1 (general rules) and references EMC and functional test standards (IEC/EN 61000 series, CISPR).
- Responsibility allocation: The standard notes that many operating characteristics depend on detector type, machine characteristics and installation method - therefore it specifies who must state required values and who must verify compliance or perform confirmatory tests.
- Normative/informative annexes: Annexes A, B and ZA are normative; Annex C is informative.
Practical applications and users
EN 60947-8:2003 is directly applicable to:
- Motor manufacturers and OEMs specifying built-in thermal protection.
- Control-panel and switchgear designers integrating PTC-based motor protection.
- Electrical installation engineers and maintenance teams responsible for motor safety and compliance.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors verifying detector-control unit performance and EMC immunity.
- Specifiers developing motor protection schemes for industrial applications (pumps, compressors, conveyors, HVAC motors).
Using EN 60947-8 helps ensure consistent, interoperable implementations of PTC thermal protection and clear assignment of responsibilities for specification and testing.

The article discusses the SIST EN 60947-8:2003 standard, which specifies rules for control units used in rotating electrical machines for thermal protection. These control units switch functions in response to thermal detectors installed in accordance with IEC 60034-11. The standard focuses on systems with positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor detectors and their associated control units. It notes that the PT100 detectors are covered separately in IEC 60751. The article also mentions that certain requirements for the thermal protector system can only be determined based on the characteristics of the rotating machine and the installation of the detector. As a result, responsibility for specifying values and ensuring compliance may vary depending on the characteristic in question.
제목: SIST EN 60947-8:2003 - 저전압 스위치기어 및 제어기어 -- 제8부: 회전 전기 기계용 내장형 열보호(Control units for built-in thermal protection (PTC) for rotating electrical machines) 내용: 본 기사는 IEC 60034-11 및 산업용으로 회전 전기 기계에 내장된 열 감지기에 대응하여 스위칭 기능을 수행하는 제어 유닛에 대한 규칙을 명시한다. 이는 특정 특성을 갖는 양의 온도 계수(PTC) 써미스터 감지기와 해당 제어 유닛으로 구성된 시스템에 대한 규칙을 명시한다. PT100 감지기는 IEC 60751에 따라 다른 규격이 적용되며 감지기의 온도에 따라 저항 값을 제공한다. 이 규칙은 특정 양의 온도 계수 써미스터 감지기와 해당 제어 유닛("Mark A detector" 및 "Mark A control unit"으로 지칭함)이 열 보호 시스템에 사용될 때의 특성을 규정한다. 참고로, 제어 유닛의 운전 특성에 대한 모든 요구 사항을 명시하는 것은 불가능하다. 이는 이러한 요구 사항이 열 감지기의 몇 가지 측면에 의존하기 때문이다. 열 보호 시스템의 요구 사항 중 일부는 보호해야 할 회전 기계의 특성 및 감지기의 기계 내 설치 방법을 고려할 때에만 명시할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로, 각 특성에 대해 필요한 값의 정의와 해당 요구 사항의 준수를 책임지는 당사자, 그리고 확인 테스트를 수행하는 당사자를 명시해야 한다.
