b Using c 24 V enables so-called protection installations (PELV) to be built. Using
PELV is a measure designed to protect people from direct and indirect contact.
Measures relating to these installations are defined in publication NF C 12-201 and
in standard IEC 364-4-41.
b The application of these measures to the electrical equipment in machines is
defined in standard NF EN 60204-1 and requires:
v that the voltage used is below 60 V d.c. in dry environments and below 30 V in
damp environments,
v the connection of one side of the PELV circuit, or one point of the source, to the
equipotential protection circuit associated with higher voltages.
v the use of switchgear and control gear on which measures have been taken to
ensure "safety separation" between power circuits and control circuits.
b A safety separation is necessary between power circuits and control circuits in
PELV circuits. Its aim is to warn of the appearance of dangerous voltages in
c 24 V
safety circuits.
b The reference standards involved are:
v IEC 61558-2-6 and EN 61558-2-6 (safety transformers),
v IEC 664 (coordination of isolation).
Telemecanique power supplies meet these requirements.
b Moreover, to ensure that these products will operate correctly in relation to the
demands of their reinforced isolation, it is recommended that they be mounted and
wired as indicated below:
v they should be placed on an earthed mounting plate or rail,
v they should be connected using flexible cables, with a maximum of two wires per
connection, and tightened to the nominal torque,
v conductors of the correct insulation class must be used.
b If the d.c. circuit is not connected to an equipotential protection conductor, an earth
leakage detector will indicate any accidental insulation faults (please consult your
Regional Sales Office).
b The permissible tolerances for the operating voltage are listed in publications
IEC 1131-2 and DIN 19240.
b For nominal voltage Un = c 24 V, the extreme operating values are from - 15 %
to + 20 % of Un, whatever the supply fluctuations in the range - 10 % to + 6 %
(defined by standard IEC 38) and load variations in the range 0-100 % of In.
All Telemecanique
c 24 V power supplies are designed to provide a voltage within
this range.
b It may be necessary to use a voltage measurement relay to detect when the
normal voltage limits are being surpassed and to deal with the consequences of this
(please consult your Regional Sales Office).
