NOTE 1 For appliances containing thermostatically operated switches 7.3.4 is to be observed.
NOTE 2 If a thermostat is integrated in an appliance which it does not control, it is to be treated according to 7.2.4 or 7.3.4.14.
7.2.5 Thermostats – Alternative procedure to that specified in 7.2.4
For thermostats following this alternative procedure the subclauses 4.2.3.2, 4.2.3.4 and the flow diagram of Figure 9 are not applicable.
7.2.5.1 For thermostats, separate or incorporated in a control box, e.g. with timer, intended to be integrated in a fixed room heating installation, the manufacturer shall specify the maximum operating switching rate. The click rate N shall be derived from this specification. Failing that, a click rate N = 10 shall be used, and Lq shall be determined, see 4.2.2.2.
The thermostat shall be caused to operate for 40 contact operations (20 opening and 20 closing), either manually by actuating of the temperature setting means, or automatically by e.g. a hot/cold blower.
The amplitude and duration of the disturbance shall be measured for the lowest rated current of the thermostat. In the absence of a marked or a declared minimum rated current, a current equal to 10 % of the maximum rated current is used. The amplitude of no more than 25 % of the disturbances shall exceed the Lq level. For thermostats which have an acceleration resistor incorporated, the same measurements shall be performed in addition without any separate load connected.
When, in practice, the thermostat may be used together with inductive loads (e.g. relay,contactor) all measurements shall be performed using such a device, having the highest coil inductance allowed for by the manufacturer’s specification.
7.2.5.2 Thermostatically controlled three-phase switches
Thermostatically controlled three-phase switches shall be treated as thermostats (see 7.2.5.1). Where no manufacturer’s specification is given, a clickrate N = 10 shall be used.
7.2.5.3 Thermostatically controlled portable and removable room heating appliances
For portable and movable room heating appliances the manufacturer shall specify the maximum operating switching rate. The click rate N shall be derived from this specification, and the procedure in 7.2.5.1 shall be followed.
Where no manufacturer’s specification is given, a click rate N = 10 shall be used, following the procedure in 7.2.5.1, or the click rate N shall be determined for a duty-cycle of (50± 10) % of the control device. The procedure of Figure 9 shall be followed.
The power range switch, if any, shall be in the lowest position.
如果有功率范围开关,应设定在最小档位。
Prior to test, it is essential that the contacts shall be operated for a hundred times with the rated load.
NOTE This is to ensure that the levels of disturbance are representative of those encountered in normal operations.
