BS EN 60146-2:2000

This standard BS EN 60146-2:2000 Semiconductor convertors. General requirements and line commutated convertors is classified in these ICS categories:

• 31.080.99 Other semiconductor devices
• 29.200 Rectifiers. Converters. Stabilized power supply

This part of IEC 60146 applies to all types of semiconductor converters of the self-commutated type including power converters which contain at least one part of a self-commutated type, for example a.c. converters, indirect d.c. converters, direct d.c. converters.

The requirements of IEC 60146-1-1 apply also to self-commutated converters as far as they are not in contradiction with this standard. For some special applications, for example, uninterruptible power systems, variable speed a.c. and d.c. drives and electric traction equipment, additional standards may apply.

NOTE Test restrictions may apply to special applications, for example high-power reactive power converters.
