    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 60898-2:2016 gives additional requirements for single- and two-pole circuit-breakers which, in addition to the above characteristics, are suitable for operation with direct current, and have a rated DC voltage not exceeding 220 V for single-pole and 440 V for two-pole circuit-breakers, a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated DC short-circuit capacity not exceeding 10 000 A. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000 and Amendment 1:2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
    a) alignment with second edition of IEC 60898-1;
    b) introduction of test Icn1.

    This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60898-1:2015.
