IEC 61057 Live Operation - Insulating Air Devices for Chassis Mounting

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC 61057 testing. IEC 61057 applies to insulating air devices for mounting in a chassis, to be used for live operation in electrical installations at rated voltages above 45 V rms AC in the range 65 Hz to 1 Hz and 500 1000 V DC.

The primary purpose of an air device is to position personnel at work. Other devices such as calipers can be fitted to help the operator get the job done.

This document also includes requirements and tests for chassis parts that affect the performance of insulating air devices to be used for live operation.

This edition includes the following important technical changes from the previous edition:

• General review of requirements and test provisions;
• Preparation of elements of assessment of defects and general application of IEC 61318;
• Distinguish between tests for hollow barriers and tests for foam filled barriers;
• ISO 16368 references for specific mechanical tests;
• More information on vacuum protection and leakage current monitoring and a mandatory requirement for air instruments to be equipped with a permanently installed lower test electrode system for bare-handed operation;
• Controls of high electrical resistance;
• Reference to SAE for insulating hydraulic hoses;
• Incorporation of IEC TS 61813 for maintenance, maintenance and in-service testing of isolation boom air devices.

Products designed and manufactured according to this document contribute to the safety of users, provided that they are used by experts in accordance with safe working methods and instructions for use.
