AvailableSuperseded

An Available Superseded Standard is one, which has been made available for a period of time although it has been formally superseded by another Standard. Its availability is maintained where it is referenced in legislation/regulations or in other Standards and its use should be restricted to where so referenced. No responsibility is taken by SAI Global as to the ongoing technical validity of such a Standard, the responsibility resting with the referencing authority.

Summarise this standard

Specifies standard voltage values which are intended to serve as preferential values for the nominal voltage of electrical supply systems, and as reference values for equipment and system design. This Standard is based on and contains the full text of IEC60038:2009. Text not applicable in Australia has been struck through for clarity. Added text for Australian conditions has been shaded and inserted in its appropriate place. An appendix summarizes variations for Australian conditions.

This publication applies to– a.c. transmission, distribution and utilization systems and equipment for use in such systems with standard frequencies 50 Hz and 60 Hz having a nominal voltage above 100 V;– a.c. and d.c. traction systems;– a.c. and d.c. equipment having nominal voltages below 120 V a.c. or below 750 V d.c., the a.c. voltages being intended (but not exclusively) for 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications; such equipment covers batteries (from primary or secondary cells), other power supply devices (a.c. or d.c.), electrical equipment (including industrial and communication), and appliances.This publication does not apply to voltages representing or transmitting signals or measured values.This publication does not apply to standard voltages of components and parts used within electrical devices or items of equipment.This publication specifies standard voltage values which are intended to serve - as preferential values for the nominal voltage of electrical supply systems, and- as reference values for equipment and system design.NOTE 1 Two main reasons have led to the values specified in this standard:The values of nominal voltage (or highest voltage for equipment) specified in this standard are mainly based on the historical development of electrical supply systems throughout the world, since these values turned out to be the most common ones, and have achieved worldwide recognition;The voltage ranges mentioned in this standard have been recognized to be the most appropriate ones as a basis for design and testing of electrical equipment and systems.NOTE 2 It is nevertheless the task of system and product standards to define appropriate testing values, testing conditions and acceptance criteria.
