Full Description

IEC 60730-2-24:2026 This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following: This part of IEC 60730 applies to automatic displacement electrical controls – for use in, on, or in association with appliances for household and similar use; NOTE 1 Through this document, the word "control" means "displacement electrical control". EXAMPLE 1 Displacement electrical controls used in electrical pressure cookers with gross volume up to 25 l, with working pressure over 4 kPa and less than 150 kPa. – that are AC or DC powered controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or 600 V DC; – used in, on, or in association with equipment that use electricity; – that are mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to change of position of point of action. NOTE 2 Requirements for manual switches not forming part of an automatic control are covered in IEC 61058-1-1. This document applies to – inherent safety of automatic electro-mechanical displacement electrical controls; – functional safety of automatic electro-mechanical displacement electrical controls; – the operating values, operating times, and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety; – displacement electrical controls having temperature sensing element(s), in which cases additional requirements can be considered to be necessary. Requirements for temperature sensing controls are included in IEC 60730-2-9. This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic displacement electrical controls used in, on, or in association with equipment. This document does not – apply to automatic electronic controls; – take into account the response value of an automatic action of a control, if such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the control in the equipment. Where a response value is of significant purpose for the protection of the user, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer applies. NOTE 3 For more information about guidance to the application of displacement electrical controls, see Annex AA.
