Annotation

This part of IEC 60204 applies to the application of electrical and electronic equipment and systems to hoisting machines and related equipment.

NOTE 1 In this standard, the term "electrical" includes both electrical and electronic matters (i.e., "electrical equipment" means both the electrical and the electronic equipment).

NOTE 2 In the context of this standard, the term "person" refers to any individual and includes those persons who are assigned and instructed by the user or user's agent(s) in the use and care of the hoisting machine in question.

The equipment covered by this standard commences at the point of connection of the supply to the electrical equipment of the hoisting machine (crane-supply-switch) including systems for power supply and control feeders situated outside of the hoisting machine, for example, flexible cables or conductor wires or conductor bars (see Figure 3).

NOTE 3 For the requirements for the electrical supply installation in buildings, see IEC 60364.

This standard is applicable to equipment or parts of equipment not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. between lines and with nominal frequencies not exceeding 200 Hz.

NOTE 4 For higher voltages, see IEC 60204-11.

Additional and special requirements can apply to the electrical equipment of hoisting machines including those that

– are intended for use in open air (i.e., outside buildings or other protective structures);
