EN IEC 61810-10:2019

IEC 61810-10:2019, with functional and safety aspects, applies to electromechanical elementary relays (non-specified time all-or-nothing relays) with high capability requirements like breaking or short circuit capabilities and similar for incorporation into low-voltage equipment. These relays may have a specific design to extinguish the electric arc between contacts (e.g. by magnetic blow-out), or use an insulation coordination not covered by IEC 61810-1 (e.g. by gas filled contact chambers), or require safety assessments not covered by IEC 61810-1 (e.g. for higher loads).It defines additional requirements for high-capacity relays with generic performance intended for use in applications in smart grids, electric vehicles and other applications where, for example, battery charge/discharge switching is used, such as:• electrical energy storage (EES) systems,• solar photovoltaic energy systems,• electric road vehicles (EV) and electric industrial trucks,• power electronic systems and equipment,• secondary cells and batteries,• road vehicles.Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the type tests indicated.
