Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Assemblies for power distribution in public networks

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 applies with the following additions.
Addition:
This standard gives specific requirements for public electricity network distribution
assemblies (PENDAs), which are stationary assemblies verified by verification tests, as defined in this
standard. These ASSEMBLIES are used for the distribution of electrical energy in three-phase
systems (see Figure 101 for a typical distribution network). Open type ASSEMBLIES are not covered by this
standard.
The object of this standard is to state the definitions and to specify the service
conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics and tests for PENDAs. Network parameters may require tests at higher performance levels.
NOTE 1 If a PENDA is equipped with additional equipment (for example meters), in such a way that the main function is changed considerably, then other standards may also apply as agreed between user and manufacturer (see 8.5).
NOTE 2 Where local regulations and practices permit, a PENDA according to this standard may be used in other than public networks.
PENDAs are suitable for installation in places where only skilled persons have access for
their use, however, outdoor types may be installed in situations that are accessible
to ordinary persons.
