Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification - Part 2: Requirements for testing

This part of IEC 61730 specifies and describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation.
Specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. This part of IEC 61730 pertains to the particular requirements of construction. IEC 61730-2 defines the requirements for testing.
This International Standard series lays down IEC requirements of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates. This standard is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules.
PV modules covered by this standard are limited to a maximum DC system voltage of 1 500 V.
This International Standard defines the basic requirements for various applications of PV modules, but it cannot be considered to encompass all national or regional codes. Specific requirements, e.g. for building, marine and vehicle applications, are not covered.
This International Standard does not address specific requirements for products that combine a PV module with power conversion equipment, monitoring or control electronics, such as integrated inverters, converters or output disabling functions.
While parts of this standard may be applicable to flat plate PV modules with internally generated low level concentration below 3 times, it was not written specifically to address these concerns.
This International Standard is designed to coordinate with the test sequences in the IEC 61215 series, so that a single set of samples may be used to perform both the safety and qualification of a photovoltaic module design.
The object of this International Standard is to define the requirements for the construction of photovoltaic modules with respect to safety. These requirements are intended to minimize the misapplication and misuse of PV modules or the failure of their components which could result in fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Additional construction requirements outlined in relevant ISO standards, or the national or local codes which govern the installation and use of these PV modules in their intended locations, should be considered in addition to the requirements contained within this standard.

Photovoltaik(PV)-Module - Sicherheitsqualifikation - Teil 2: Anforderungen an die Prüfung

Qualification pour la sûreté de fonctionnement des modules photovoltaïques (PV) - Partie 2: Exigences pour les essais

L'IEC 61730-2:2016 fournit la séquence d'essais destinée à vérifier la sûreté des modules PV dont la construction a été évaluée par l'IEC 61730-1. La séquence d'essais et les critères d'acceptation sont conçus pour détecter le claquage éventuel de composants internes et externes des modules PV, qui entraînerait des incendies, des chocs électriques et/ou des dommages corporels. La norme définit les exigences de base relatives aux essais de sécurité, ainsi que des essais supplémentaires qui sont fonction des applications finales du module PV. Les catégories d'essais incluent un contrôle général, les risques de chocs électriques, le risque de feu, les contraintes mécaniques et les contraintes environnementales. Cette nouvelle édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- les séquences d'essai ont été réorganisées;
- certains essais ont été détaillés ou ajoutés.

Varnostna ocena fotonapetostnega (PV) modula - 2. del: Zahteve za preskušanje

Ta del standarda IEC 61730 določa in opisuje temeljne konstrukcijske zahteve za fotonapetostne (PV) module, da se zagotovi njihovo varno električno in mehansko delovanje.
Podane so specifične teme na področju ocene preprečevanja električnega udara, požarne ogroženosti in osebnih poškodb zaradi mehanskih in okoljskih obremenitev. Ta del standarda IEC 61730 se nanaša na posebne gradbene zahteve. Standard IEC 61730-2 določa zahteve za preskušanje.
Ta skupina mednarodnih standardov določa zahteve IEC glede prizemnih fotonapetostnih modulov, primernih za dolgotrajno uporabo v okoljih na prostem. Ta standard je namenjen za uporabo za vse materiale ploščatih prizemnih modulov, kot so vrste modulov iz kristalnega silicija in tankoplastni moduli.
Fotonapetostni moduli, ki jih zajema ta standard, so omejeni na maksimalno napetost v enosmernem sistemu 1500 V.
Ta mednarodni standard določa osnovne zahteve za različne načine uporabe fotonapetostnih modulov, vendar ne zajema vseh nacionalnih in regionalnih predpisov. Specifične zahteve, npr. za uporabo pri gradnji, na morju in v vozilih, niso zajete.
Ta mednarodni standard se ne ukvarja s posebnimi zahtevami za proizvode, v katerih je fotonapetostni modul združen z opremo za pretvorbo energije, elektroniko za nadzor ali kontrolo, kot so vgrajeni inverterji, pretvorniki ali funkcije za onemogočanje izhoda.
Čeprav se lahko deli tega standarda uporabljajo za ploščate fotonapetostne module z notranje ustvarjeno nizko koncentracijo, ki je manjša od 3-kratne, ta standard ni bil oblikovan posebej za te primere.
Ta mednarodni standard je oblikovan tako, da je usklajen s preskusnimi zaporedji iz skupine standardov IEC 61215, zato se lahko za vrednotenje varnosti in učinkovitosti projektiranja fotonapetostnih modulov uporabi ena sama skupina vzorcev.
Namen tega mednarodnega standarda je določanje zahtev za izdelavo fotonapetostnih modulov v zvezi z varnostjo. Te zahteve so namenjene za zmanjšanje nepravilnega delovanja in nepravilne uporabe fotonapetostnih modulov ali odpovedi njihovih sestavnih delov, kar bi lahko povzročilo požar, električni udar in telesne poškodbe.
Poleg zahtev, ki jih vključuje ta standard, je treba upoštevati dodatne konstrukcijske zahteve, podane v relevantnih standardih ISO, ali nacionalne oziroma lokalne predpise, ki urejajo namestitev in uporabo teh fotonapetostnih modulov na njihovih predvidenih lokacijah.
