Such batteries are usually equipped with safety devices to prevent dangerously high internal pressures. And they are designed to operate in pristine sealed condition for the life of the product. 3.1.2 valve-regulated cell or battery secondary cell or battery which is closed under normal conditions, but which has an arrangement which allows the escape of gas if the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined value

4 Constructional requirements

Electrical connections intended to be terminated internal to the equipment enclosures are subdivided into those for field-wiring, 4.2.2, and for factory wiring, 4.2.3, and into permanent types and reconnectable/rewireable types for convenience in detailing the appropriate requirements.

5 Supplementary requirements for specific electrical equipment

These requirements supplement those of Clause 4 of this document which are applicable also, unless otherwise stated, to the specific electrical equipment considered in 5.2 to 5.9 and also to the other electrical equipment considered in 5.10. The requirements in this clause apply to rotating electrical machines within the scope of GB/T 755.

Where machines with cage rotors are to be subjected to tests with their rotors locked in order to determine the starting current ratio IA/ IN and the time tE, the methods of test or of calculation shall be in accordance with Annex A.

7 Routine verifications and routine tests

A dielectric strength test shall be carried out in accordance with 6.1.Alternatively, a test shall be carried out at 1.2 times the test voltage, but maintained for at least 100 ms. For Level of Protection “ec”, where there is a routine dielectric strength test in the relevant industrial standard for the individual items of electrical equipment, this test is acceptable.

8 Ex Component certificates
