• IEC 61439-2 is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61439-1, instead of IEC 60439-1 alone
• Structure aligned with Standard for protection devices IEC60947
• Tests identical to those in IEC 60439-1 do not need to be repeat

IEC61439-1 & 2 Standard
Main Changes
Original Manufacturer (Switchboard System manufacturer)
• Recognition of
and ASSEMBLY Manufacturer (Panel Builder)
• PTTA/TTA concepts replaced with (tested) ASSEMBLY
• Clarified & reinforced requirements
PTTA
• Calculations not clearly defined to justify not to do some type-tests Routine verifications
• 3 same routine tests • Same as TTA in 10 items instead of 3

• Current carrying
• All the tests (also short circuit) have to be made with the devices inside the assembly
• No more possibility to make a temperature rise with a heating resistance
• No device substitution
• The tests have to be made
• for each circuit alone to its rated current
• and the complete assembly (including diversity factor)
• The verification by calculation is limited
• maximum 1600A and all components de-rated to 80%

“Performance”
• Power-frequency voltage test (2) (complying with IEC60947)
• Impulse withstand voltage test (no more optional)
• Temperature rise limits (1)
• Short-circuit withstand strength (3)
• Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (9)
• Mechanical operation (6) (200 operating cycles instead of 50)
NOTE
• (1) to (7) show the 7 type-tests according to table 7 of IEC 60439-1 (items 1 to 7)
• (8) and (9) were also required but not in table 7
