What is Type Tested Panels? – old IEC60439

Type tested Panel Means, a Panel Design is similar to the one which is tested for Series of particular test Defined by IEC xx439, where design criteria are kept same as that of Type Tested Design.

What is TTA? – old IEC60439

TTA = Type Tested Assembly. Here Panels are Manufactured keeping Design criteria same as that of Certified Type Tested Panel design. Where Results care Verified by Calculations or Design Rules.

What is PTTA? – old IEC60439

PTTA = Partial Type Tested Assembly.

IEC 61439 applicable for which Panels ?

The new IEC 61439 standard applies to enclosures for which the rated voltage is under 1000 V AC (at frequencies not exceeding 1000 Hz) or 1500 V DC.

The standard defines the design verified ASSEMBLIES and eliminates completely the categories TTA and PTTA.

What is Electrical Insulating Materials ?

Nonconducting material that provides electric isolation of two parts at different voltages.
It must have an electrical resistivity and a dielectric strength sufficiently high for the given application.
The secondary requirements relate to thermal and mechanical properties.

DC Utilization Categories IEC 60947

Utilization Categories indicate the type of Load and Duty Cycle of the load basis which selection of Switchgear should be done for the intended application.

How to do Hot Dip Galvanization ?

Galvanization is the process of applying Zinc coating on Steel to prevent Corrosion. In Hot dip Galvanization, Fabrication is submerged in Molten Zinc.
