IEC 60730-2-6:2015 PDF Download

The automatic electrical pressure sensing controllers are specifically designed under the IEC 60730-2-6:2015 standard. These controls are employed in a variety of machines that may utilize electricity, gas, oil, solid fuel, or solar thermal energy, among other energy sources. The standard includes pressure-sensing controls that can be integrated into a control system or utilized as independent devices. It pertains to controls used in machinery destined for general use, including machinery in shops, small businesses, and farms that can be controlled by the average person. However, unless specifically indicated in the applicable equipment standard, it does not apply to controls used only in industrial operations.

The goal of the standard is to protect equipment by ensuring inherent safety, specifying operational values, and setting operating procedures. It also specifies how these pressure-sensing controls must be tested. The standard also addresses the functional safety of safety-related controls and systems with low levels of complexity. Additionally, it applies to pressure-sensing controllers for appliances covered by IEC 60335-1.

The third edition of this standard, which was released in 2015, includes a number of technical updates from the first. These revisions adjust the specifications for particular control functions and faults during lock-out or safety shutdown and match the language with IEC 60730-1, Edition 5. To fully comprehend the requirements, it is crucial to read this book in conjunction with IEC 60730-1:2013.
