DANSK DSF/PREN IEC 61995-1 [ Draft ]

This document applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires of class I or class II to final circuits rated at not more than 16 A without mechanical support for the luminaires incorporated in the plug/outlet interface. The DCL retention mechanisms are not intended to support the weight of the luminaires. DCL plugs and outlets have a rated current of 6 A. DCL outlets have an earthing contact. The rated voltage is 125 V or 250 V at 50/60 Hz. DCL with additional suspension means are limited to a maximum mass of 5 kg. DCL plugs and DCL outlets complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period of 24 h does not exceed +35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of –5 °C. DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating as specified in IEC 60529. This document gives additional requirements for DCL accessories provided with insulation-piercing terminals, see Annex B (normative).
