IEC 61439 is a standard which is developed by International Electrotechnical Commission, Switzerland.
To which equipment, it is applicable: it is applicable to Electrical panels and busways/busduct/bus trunking – Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies.
Scope:
This standard applies to assemblies only when required by the relevant assembly standard
as follows:
– assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1?000 V AC or 1500 V DC;
– assemblies designed for a nominal frequency of the incoming supply or supplies not exceeding 1000 Hz;
– assemblies intended for indoor and outdoor applications;
– stationary or movable assemblies with or without an enclosure;
– assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electrical energy consuming
equipment.
