1 1 1.1 This standard applies to isolating equipment incorporating electromechanical contactors remotely controlled and monitored to provide remote isolation status indication with a defined integrity level. This equipment is intended for use as an additional isolating means on the load side of the required supply-disconnecting device and over current protection. This standard applies to isolating equipment that is to be used in circuits of which the rated voltage does not exceed 1000 Vac or 1500 Vdc.
1 1 1.2 The system isolation equipment is expected to be used both as a means for removal of power for prevention of unexpected start-up of a stopped machine and as an isolator to provide protection from electric shock by ensuring the removal of electrical energy.
1 1 1.3 This equipment is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and the Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery, NFPA 79:2012.
Note – Reference to System Isolation Equipment is found in Article 430.109(A)(7) of the National Electrical Code NFPA 70; in Clause 5.5.4(3), Devices for Disconnecting (Isolating) Electrical Equipment, of the Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery, NFPA 79:2012; and in Clause 5.3.2(d) of the Standard for Safety of Machinery – Electrical Equipment of Machines – Part 1: General Requirements, IEC 60204-1.
1 1 1.4 The System Isolation Equipment is not intended to fulfill the function of a motor starter or other motion control device.
