Regulations
Concerning the Setting up of Installations
Apart from the basic ”Regulations for the Setting up of
Power Installations” DIN VDE* 0100 and for ”The Rating
of Creepage Distances and Clearances” DIN VDE 0110
Part 1 and Part 2 the regulations ”The Equipment of Pow-
er Installations with Electrical Components” DIN VDE
0160 in conjunction with DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 have to
be taken into due consideration.
Further attention has to be paid to DIN VDE 0113 Part 1
and Part 200 in case of the control of working and pro-
cessing machines. If operating elements are to be
mounted near parts with dangerous contact voltage DIN
VDE 0106 Part 100 is additionally relevant.
If the protection against direct contact according to DIN
VDE 0160 is required, this has to be ensured by the user
(e.g. by incorporating the elements in a switch-gear cabi-
net). The devices are designed for pollution severity 2 in
accordance with DIN VDE 0110 Part 1. If higher pollution
is expected, the devices must be installed in appropriate
housings.
The user has to guarantee that the devices and the com-
ponents belonging to them are mounted following these
regulations. For operating the machines and installations,
other national and international relevant regulations, con-
cerning prevention of accidents and using technical work-
ing means, also have to be met.
The ABB Procontic devices are designed according to
IEC 1131 Part 2. Meeting this regulation, they are classi-
fied in overvoltage category II which is in conformance
with DIN VDE 0110 Part 2.
For the direct connection of ABB Procontic devices,
which are powered with or coupled to AC line voltages of
overvoltage category III, appropriate protection mea-
sures corresponding to overvoltage category II according
to IEC–Report 664/1980 and DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 are to
install.
