EVS-EN IEC 60146-1-1:2024

IEC 60146-1-1 specifies the requirements for the performance of all semiconductor power converters and semiconductor power switches using controllable or non-controllable electronic valve devices. It is primarily intended to specify the basic requirements for converters in general and the requirements applicable to line commutated converters for conversion of AC power to DC power or vice versa. Parts of IEC 60146-1-1 also apply to other types of electronic power converters if they do not have their product standards.

IEC 60146-1-1:2024 introduces four main changes:

a) re-edition of the whole standard according to the current directives,

b) deletion of safety-related descriptions considering coordination with IEC 62477 series,

c) changes in calculation methods of inductive voltage regulation,

d) changes considering coordination with IEC 61378 series.

IEC 60146-1-1:2024 text has been approved in Europe as EN IEC 60146-1-1:2024 without any changes.
