IEC/TC 109 - IEC_TC_109

IEC 60664-1:2020 deals with insulation coordination for equipment having a rated voltage up to AC 1 000 V or DC 1 500 V connected to low-voltage supply systems. This document applies to frequencies up to 30 kHz. It applies to equipment for use up to 2 000 m above sea level and provides guidance for use at higher altitudes. It provides requirements for technical committees to determine clearances, creepage distances and criteria for solid insulation. It includes methods of electrical testing with respect to insulation coordination. The minimum clearances specified in this document do not apply where ionized gases are present. Special requirements for such situations can be specified at the discretion of the relevant technical committee. This document does not deal with distances: – through liquid insulation; – through gases other than air; – through compressed air. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
update of the Scope, Clauses 2 and 3,
addition of 1 500 V DC into tables,
new structure for Clauses 4 and 5,
addition of Annex G with a flowchart for clearances,
addition of Annex H with a flowchart for creepage distances,
update of distances altitude correction in a new Table F.10.  It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Applies to rigid printed board assemblies protected by a coating of insulating material on one or both sides. Describes the requirements and test procedures. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Deals with basic, supplementary and reinforced insulation subjected to high-frequency voltage stress within low-voltage equipment. The dimensioning values directly apply for basic insulation; for reinforced insulation additional requirements apply according to Part 1. It is applicable for the dimensioning of clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation stressed by any type of periodic voltages with a fundamental frequency above 30 kHz and up to 10 MHz. This part of EN 60664 can only be used together with EN 60664-1 or with EN 60664-5 (in this standard called Part 1 or Part 5). By using Part 1 or Part 5 together with this part the frequency limit of Part 1 or Part 5 is extended to frequencies higher than 30 kHz. This part also applies to Part 3 for frequencies greater than 30 kHz and protection of type 1. For type 2 protection this question is under consideration. Applies to equipment for use up to 2 000 m above sea level having a rated voltage up to a.c. 1 000 V. Specifies the requirements for clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation for equipment based upon their performance criteria. lt includes methods of electric testing with respect to insulation coordination. The minimum clearances specified in this part do not apply where ionized gases occur. Special requirements for such situations may be specified at the discretion of the relevant technical committee. This part does not deal with distances - through liquid insulation, - through gases other than air, - through compressed air. The object of this standard is to guide technical committees responsible for different equipment in order to rationalise their requirements so that insulation coordination is achieved when specifying clearances in air, creepage distances and solid insulation for equipment. The major changes made during the revision of EN 60664-4 were the following: - inclusion of more recent information about the withstand characteristics of insulation at high-frequency voltage stress

The contents of the corrigendum of November 2010 have been included in this copy.

Specifies the dimensioning of clearances and creepage distances for spacings equal to or less than 2 mm for printed wiring board and equivalent constructions, where the clearance and the creepage distance are identical and are along the surface of solid insulation, such as the paths described in example 1, example 5 and example 11 of 4.2 of Part 1. The dimensioning is more precise than that provided by Part 1 (i.e EN 60664-1). This standard can only be used as an entirety. It is not permitted to select one or more clauses from this standard and to use them in place of the corresponding clauses of Part 1. When this standard is applied to the dimensioning of clearances and creepage distances, all clauses shall be used in place of the corresponding clauses given in Part 1. For clearances and creepage distances larger than 2 mm and for solid insulation in general, Part 1 applies. This standard is based on the following criteria for dimensioning: - minimum clearances independent of the micro-environment (see Table 2); - minimum creepage distances for pollution degrees 1, 2 and 3 to avoid failure due to tracking (see Table 4); - minimum creepage distances to avoid flashover across the insulating surface (see Table 5). A test method is specified for allocating unclassified insulating material to the relevant water adsorption group. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Deals with insulation coordination for equipment within low-voltage systems. It applies to equipment for use up to 2 000 m above sea level having a rated voltage up to a.c. 1 000 V with rated frequencies up to 30 kHz, or a rated voltage up to d.c. 1 500 V. It specifies the requirements for clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation for equipment based upon their performance criteria. It includes methods of electric testing with respect to insulation coordination. The minimum clearances specified in this standard do not apply where ionized gases occur. Special requirements for such situations may be specified at the discretion of the relevant technical committee. This standard does not deal with distances - through liquid insulation, - through gases other than air, - through compressed air. Main changes have been made with respect to the previous edition: - Amendment of Japanese mains conditions with regard to the rated impulse voltages, the rationalized voltages and the nominal voltages of supply systems for different modes of overvoltage control - Amendment of dimensioning of clearances smaller than 0,01 mm - Alignment of the table and the corresponding formula regarding test voltages for verifying clearances at different altitudes - Amendment of interpolation of the creepage distance values for functional insulation - Amendment of creepage distance dimensioning taking into account ribs - Revision of the former Clause 4 'Tests and measurements' (now Clause 6) to achieve a more detailed description of the tests and their purpose, the test equipment and possible alternatives - Change of Annex C 'Partial discharge test methods' from a former technical report, Type 2 (now called TS), to a normative Annex C. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
