Abstract BS EN 60439-5:1996 is a British Standard that specifies the requirements for the design, construction, and testing of switchgear and controlgear assemblies. It is titled "Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 5: Assemblies for power distribution in public networks." This standard applies to assemblies intended to be used in power distribution systems, including public networks with nominal voltages up to and including 1000 volts AC and 1500 volts DC. It covers both indoor and outdoor installations. BS EN 60439-5:1996 provides guidelines for the design and construction of switchgear and controlgear assemblies, ensuring their safety, functionality, and compatibility. It includes requirements for mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the assemblies. The standard also covers aspects such as temperature rise, dielectric properties, short-circuit withstand strength, and internal separation of functional units. The standard specifies various tests that should be performed on the assemblies to verify their compliance. These tests may include temperature-rise tests, dielectric tests, mechanical operation tests, and verification of protective measures. It's important to note that standards can be revised or updated over time. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the latest version of the standard or check for any amendments or revisions that may have been made since 1996.
