Overview

This document applies to in-cable control and protection devices (IC-CPDs) for mode 2 charging of electric road vehicles, hereafter referred to as "IC-CPD", including control and safety functions. This document applies to portable devices performing simultaneously the functions of detection of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value. This document is applicable to IC-CPDs performing the safety and control functions as required in IEC 61851-1 for mode 2 charging of electric vehicles. This document is applicable to IC-CPDs for single-phase circuits not exceeding 250 V ormulti-phase circuits not exceeding 480 V, their maximum rated current being 32 A. This document is applicable to IC-CPDs to be used in AC circuits only, with preferred values of rated frequency 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz. IC-CPDs according to this document are not intended to be used for bidirectional or reverse power transfer, feeding back energy to the system for distribution of electricity. This document is applicable to IC-CPDs having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA and which are intended to provide additional protection for the circuit downstream of the IC-CPD as it cannot be guaranteed that the upstream installation is equipped with an RCD rated I∆n ≤ 30 mA. In the case of plugs intended for household and similar purposes the respective requirements of the national standard apply as well as the specific requirements established by the national committee of the country in which the product is placed on the market. If there are no national requirements, then IEC 60884-1 applies. IEC 60309-2 applies to plugs for industrial applications. Non-interchangeable plugs for industrial applications may be used for specific applications and areas. In this case, IEC 60309-1 applies. The switching contacts of the IC-CPD are not intended to provide a disconnecting function, as disconnection can be ensured by unplugging the connector. The IC-CPD is not considered a protective device for fixed installations. The standard differs from DIN EN 62752 (VDE 0666-10):2022-07 as follows: a) subclause 8.3.1 has been amended in order to add requirements for a mandatory control device that monitors the temperature of the current-carrying parts in the household plug; b) test requirements for the temperature control device added in a new subclause 9.36; c) harmonization of EMC requirements with the new editions of IEC 61543 and IEC 61851-21-2; d) general improvements to tests and requirements. This document is intended for the design and testing of IC-CPDs.
