Regulations

Concerning the Setting up of Installations

Apart from the basic “Regulations of the Setting up of

Power Installations” DIN VDE*0100 and for “The Rating

of Creepage Distances and Clearances” DIN VDE 0110

Part 1 and Part 2 the regulations “The Equipment of Power Installations with Electrical Components” DIN VDE 0160

in conjunction with DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 have to be

taken into due consideration.

Further attention has to be paid to DIN VDE 0113 Part 1

and Part 200 in case of the control of working and processing machines. If operating elements are to be mounted near parts with dangerous contact voltage DIN VDE

0106 Part 100 is additionally relevant.

If the protection against direct contact according to DIN

VDE 0160 is required, this has to be ensured by the user

(e.g. by incorporating the elements in a switch-gear cabinet). The devices are designed for pollution severity 2 in

accordance with DIN VDE 0110 Part 1. If higher pollution

is expected, the devices must be installed in appropriate housings.
