HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES – SAFETY – Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors FOREWORD 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested National Committees. 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards. 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by subcommittee 61C: Household appliances for refrigeration, of IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1999. It constitutes a technical revision. The text of this part of IEC 60335 is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 61C/214/FDIS 61C/217/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments. It was established on the basis of the fourth edition (2001) of that standard. NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1. This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for electrical motor- compressors. 60335-2-34  IEC:2002(E) – 5 – When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly. NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used: – subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1; – unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including those in a replaced clause or subclause; – additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc. NOTE 3 The following print types are used: – requirements: in roman type; – test specifications: in italic type; – notes: in smaller roman type. Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun are also in bold. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until 2005. At this date, the publication will be • reconfirmed; • withdrawn; • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended. The following differences exist in the countries indicated below. – 7.1: The locked-rotor current marking is required for some motor-compressors (USA). – 22.7: Different test pressures are used (Japan, USA). A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. – 6 – 60335-2-34  IEC:2002(E) INTRODUCTION It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons. This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that can be expected in practice. This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains. However, national wiring rules may differ. If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into account. This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject. An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements. An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the standard. For motor-compressors, testing in accordance with this standard is an option and cannot be required as a precondition for testing the complete appliance, for example by reference in Clause 24 of a part 2 of IEC 60335. However, testing of the appliance should be reduced if an incorporated motor-compressor including its protection system or control system, if any, complies with this standard. If testing of the motor-compressor includes testing in accordance with Annex AA, temperatures of the motor-compressor windings, housing and other parts related to the motor-compressor, such as terminals, internal wiring and insulating materials, are not measured when the complete appliance in which the motor-compressor is used is tested. These requirements apply to sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors with their associated starting, cooling capacity control and protection systems, tested separately under the most severe conditions of the refrigerating system operation which, within reasonable limits, could occur in the applications for which they are used. In particular, the construction detail inspection and locked-rotor testing may be done separately on the motor-compressor, thereby eliminating the need for inspection and testing when the motor-compressor is applied to many different appliances and factory-built assemblies. Operational tests may also be conducted on the motor-compressor separately in certain circumstances. The specification for this type testing is provided in Annex AA. However, the tests of the existing standards relevant to the given kind of application, such as IEC 60335-2- 24 and IEC 60335-2-40, may need to be conducted on the final application and used as the final determination of acceptability. 60335-2-34  IEC:2002(E) – 7 – HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES – SAFETY – Part 2-34: Particular requirements for motor-compressors 1 Scope This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This International Standard deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motor- compressors. NOTE 101 Examples of equipment which contain motor-compressors are – refrigerators, food freezers and ice makers (IEC 60335-2-24); – air-conditioners, electric heat pumps and dehumidifiers (IEC 60335-2-40); – commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75); – factory-built assemblies for transferring heat in applications for refrigerating, air-conditioning or heating purposes or a combination of such purposes. NOTE 102 This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type used complies with this standard, the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the particular appliance standard may not need to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests may be necessary on the final appliance. So far as is practical, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by motor- compressors used in appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, it does not in general take into account – the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision; – playing with the appliances by young children. NOTE 103 Attention is drawn to the fact that – for motor-compressors intended to be used in appliances in vehicles or on board ships, additional require- ments may be necessary; – in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities. NOTE 104 This standard does not apply to – motor-compressors designed exclusively for industrial purposes; – motor-compressors used in appliances intended to b
