BS EN 54-17-2005. Fire detection and fire alarm systems Part 17: Short-circuit isolators.
open condition
condition of the short-circuit isolator which prevents the passage of
short circuit currents through the short-circuit isolator. (i.e., the
correct condition for the short-circuit isolator when it is protecting
part of a circuit from the effects of a short circuit)
4 Requirements
4.1 Compliance
In order to comply with this European Swedru the snort-circuit
isolator snail meet ten requirements of this clause, which shall be
verified by visual inspection or engineering assessment, shall be tested
as described in Clause 5 and shall meet the requirements of the tests.
However, for short circuit isolating devices which are integrated into
other devices already covered by an existing European Standard (EN). the
environmental conditioning shall be performed in accordance with that
EN.
4.2 Integral status indication
If the short-circuit isolator incorporates an integral visual indication of its status, then this indication
shall not be red.
4.3 Connection of ancillary devices
Where the short-circuit isolator pi-Ovides for connections to ancillary
devices (e.g., remote indicators), open- or short-circuit failures of
these connections shall not prevent the correct operation of the
short-circuit isolator.
4.4 Monitoring of detachable short-circuit isolators
If a short circuit isolating device is detachable (i.e., it is attached
to a mounting base), then a means shall be provided for a remote
monitoring system (e.g., the control and indicating equipment) to detect
the removal of the device from the base, in order to give a fault
signal.
4.5 Manufacturer’s adjustments
It shall not be possible to change the manufacturer’s settings except by special means (e.g., the use of
a special code or tool) or by breaking or removing a seal.
4.6 On-site adjustments
If there is provision for on-site adjustment of the short-circuit
isolator, then for each setting the short- circuit isolator shall comply
with the requirements of this European Standard. Access to the means of
adjustment shall only be possible by the use of a code or special tool.
4.7 Marking
Each short-circuit isolator shall be clearly marked with the following information:
a) number and date of this European Standard (i.e., EN 54-17:2005);
b) name or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier.
c) model designation (type or number):
d) wiring terminal designations.
e) some mark(s) or code(s) (e.g., serial number or batch code), by which
the manufacturer can Identify, at least, the date or batch and place of
manufacture, and the version number(s) of any software, contained within
the short-circuit isolator.
For detachable short-circuit isolators, the detachable part shall be
marked with a), b), C) and e), and the base shall be marked with, at
least C) (i.e., its own model designation) and d).
Where any marking on the device uses symbols or abbreviations not in
common use then these shall be explained in the data supplied with the
device.
The marking shall be visible during installation of the short-circuit isolator and shall be accessible during maintenance.
The markings shall not be placed on screws or other easily removable parts.
NOTE Where ZA,3 covers the same information as required by this subclause, the requirements of this
subclause is met.
4.8 Data
Short-circuit isolators shall either be supplied with sufficient
technical, installation and maintenance data to enable their correct
installation and operation1) or, if all of these data are not supplied
with each isolator, reference to the appropriate data sheet shall be
given on, or with, each short-circuit isolator.
At least the following data are required to conduct the tests specified in this European Standard:
a) maximum line voltage (V);
b) minimum line voltage (V ) (i.e. without a short circuit or partial short circuit fault);
c) maximum rated continuous current with the switch closed (Ic max);BS EN 54-17-2005 pdf download.
