1. Maintenance people should not be in a dangerous situation, e.g. parts not under maintenance
should not create dangerous situation in parts under maintenance
2. Maintenance in one part should not create a dangerous situation in another part e.g. a screw or a
tool falls in another part
3. Danger in one part should not expand to other parts e.g. an arc in one part should not influence
other parts

Identification
several configurations:
n1 temperature rise limits
n2 dielectric properties
n3 short-circuit withstand
n4 protective circuit effectiveness
n5 clearances and creepage distances
n6 mechanical operation
n7 degree of protection.
3 routine tests are performed by the panelbuilder on each
particular switchboard:
n8 general inspection
n9 insulation/dielectric test
n10 protection measures.

Test n1
(8-2-1): temperature rise limits
Test performed by the manufacturer
How to proceed:
to measure the temperature of each equipment, after a
delay allowing a stabilized temperature, when each circuit
is used at its rated power and when the complete
switchboard is loaded with an appropriate diversity factor
Result to be obtain
temperature rise shall not exceed what the different
equipment can withstand
the temperature of accessible surfaces has to be checked

Specifiers/consultants:
the certainty to prescribe a switchboard which ensures
the level of safety required by the user
Panel-builder / Installer:
confidence in products and swichboards systems,
following the standard
increase efficiency, easy to show conformity
Manufacturer:
products tested in real configurations
detailed instructions for fautless construction.
