This standard cannot be used alone to specify an ASSEMBLY or used for a purpose of determining conformity. ASSEMBLIES shall comply with the relevant part of the GB 7251 series; Parts 2 onwards. This part applies to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies (ASSEMBLIES) only when required by the relevant ASSEMBLY standard as follows: ——ASSEMBLIES for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1000V in case of a.c. or 1500V in case of d.c.; ——stationary or movable ASSEMBLIES with or without enclosure; ——ASSEMBLIES intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment; ——ASSEMBLIES designed for use under special service conditions, for example in ships and in rail vehicles provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with; Note 1: supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES in ships are covered by GB/T 7061. ——ASSEMBLIES designed for electrical equipment of machines provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with. Note 2: supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES forming part of a machine are covered by the GB 5226 series. This part applies to all ASSEMBLIES whether they are designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardized and manufactured in quantity. The manufacture and/or assembly may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer (see 3.10.1). This standard does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which will comply with the relevant product standards. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Note 1: the pollution degree to which the insulating materials of devices and components are exposed may be different from that of the macro-environment where the devices or components are located because of protection offered by means such as an enclosure or internal heating to prevent absorption or condensation of moisture. Note 2: for the purpose of this standard, the pollution degree is of the micro-environment. [Definition 2.5.58 of IEC 60947-1:2007] 3.6.10 Micro-environment (of a clearance or creepage distance) Immediate environment of the insulation which particularly influences the dimensioning of the creepage distances.

Note: In an electrical system, the transition from one overvoltage category to another of lower category is obtained through appropriate means complying with interface requirements, such as an overvoltage protective device or a series-shunt impedance arrangement capable of dissipating, absorbing, or diverting the energy in the associated surge current, to lower the transient overvoltage value to that of the desired lower overvoltage category.

Note 1: a disruptive discharge in a solid dielectric produces permanent loss of dielectric strength; in a liquid or gaseous dielectric, the loss may be only temporary. Note 2: the term "sparkover" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs in a gaseous or liquid dielectric. Note 3: the term "flashover" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs over the surface of a dielectric in a gaseous or liquid medium. Note 4: the term "puncture" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs through a solid dielectric. 3.7 Protection against Electric Shock 3.7.1 Live part Conductor or conductive part intended to be energized in normal operation, including a neutral conductor, but by convention not a PEN conductor. Note: This term does not necessarily imply a risk of electric shock. [GB/T 2900.73-2008, 195-02-19, modified] 3.7.2 Hazardous live part Live part which, under certain conditions, can give a harmful electric shock.

[GB/T 2900.73-2008, 195-06-01] Note: Basic protection is intended to prevent contact with live parts and generally corresponds to protection against direct contact. 3.7.9 Basic insulation Insulation of hazardous live parts, which provide basic protection. [GB/T 2900.73-2008, 195-06-06] Note: this concept does not apply to insulation used exclusively for functional purposes. 3.7.10 Fault protection Protection against electric shock under single-fault conditions (e.g. failure of basic insulation). [GB/T 2900.73-2008, 195-06-02, modified] Note: fault protection generally corresponds to protection against indirect contact, mainly with regard to failure of basic insulation. 3.7.11 Extra-low voltage; ELV Any voltage not exceeding the relevant voltage limit specified in IEC 61201. 3.7.12 Skilled person Person with relevant education and experience to enable him or her to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which electricity can create.

This standard cannot be used alone to specify an ASSEMBLY or used for a purpose of determining conformity. ASSEMBLIES shall comply with the relevant part of the GB 7251 series; Parts 2 onwards. This part applies to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies (ASSEMBLIES) only when required by the relevant ASSEMBLY standard as follows: ——ASSEMBLIES for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1000V in case of a.c. or 1500V in case of d.c.; ——stationary or movable ASSEMBLIES with or without enclosure; ——ASSEMBLIES intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment; ——ASSEMBLIES designed for use under special service conditions, for example in ships and in rail vehicles provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with; Note 1: supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES in ships are covered by GB/T 7061. ——ASSEMBLIES designed for electrical equipment of machines provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with. Note 2: supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES forming part of a machine are covered by the GB 5226 series. This part applies to all ASSEMBLIES whether they are designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardized and manufactured in quantity. The manufacture and/or assembly may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer (see 3.10.1). This standard does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which will comply with the relevant product standards. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Note 1: a disruptive discharge in a solid dielectric produces permanent loss of dielectric strength; in a liquid or gaseous dielectric, the loss may be only temporary. Note 2: the term "sparkover" is used when a disruptive discharge occurs in a gaseous or liquid dielectric.
