Switches, disconnectors, switch disconnectors and fuse-combination units are essential components in electrical systems, each serving specific power distribution, control, and safety functions.
Switches: These are basic devices used to open or close electrical circuits, controlling the flow of electricity.
Disconnectors: They provide a means to physically isolate circuits, ensuring the safety of personnel during maintenance or in emergencies.
Switch disconnectors: They combine the functions of both switches and disconnectors, allowing for circuit control and isolation in a single device.
Fuse-combination units: As the name suggests, incorporate fuses into the disconnecting function, offering overcurrent protection and the capability to disconnect circuits.
These devices play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of electrical systems, providing control, protection, and safety measures to prevent electrical overloads and short circuits and ensure the smooth operation of various applications, from residential electrical panels to industrial machinery. Their design and selection are tailored to specific applications and voltage levels, making them indispensable for effective power management and safety in diverse electrical setups.
IS/IEC 60947 (Part-3) is an important set of standards for manufacturers of switches, disconnectors, switch disconnectors and fuse-combination units. These standards are essential for preventing electrical accidents and minimizing risks to personnel and equipment. Compliance with IS/IEC 60947 (Part-3) helps manufacturers meet these legal requirements and ensures that their products adhere to industry-specific regulations. Adherence to these standards ensures that switches, disconnectors, and fuse-combination units are of high quality and reliability.
Note: Manufacturers of switches, disconnectors, switch disconnectors and fuse-combination units are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
BIS/CRS Registration mandates that these products undergo rigorous testing and assessment to confirm their compliance with established standards, ultimately enhancing their safety and performance within electrical systems. This mandatory registration is a significant step in upholding India's commitment to consumer safety and product quality, ensuring that switches, disconnectors, switch disconnectors, and fuse-combination units meet the highest standards of quality and reliability in the Indian market.
Bureau of Indian Standards is a statutory body in India responsible for the formulation and implementation of standards to ensure the quality and safety of various products. Under the BIS framework, there exists a scheme called CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which mandates that certain categories of products must undergo mandatory registration and comply with specified quality and safety standards before they can be sold in the Indian market. This scheme was established in 2012 and has since played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and safety in India by ensuring that items such as electronics, appliances and automotive components meet the necessary standards before they reach consumers. BIS/CRS Registration is vital for market access, as it is a legal requirement for selling the product in India. Failure to obtain this registration can result in confiscation of goods and legal consequences. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to be diligent in ensuring their products meet the necessary criteria.
