What is EN 60335-2-73:2020 and EN 60255-26:2020?

EN 60335-2-73:2020 and EN 60255-26:2020 are both technical standards that address the safety requirements for electrical appliances and protective relays, respectively. EN 60335-2-73:2020 is a standard that specifies the safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, while EN 60255-26:2020, also known as IEC 60255-26:2020, is a standard that specifies the performance requirements and test procedures for protective relays used in electrical power systems.

The main purpose of EN 60335-2-73:2020 is to ensure the safety of electrical appliances and protect users from potential hazards. This standard sets out criteria and specifications for the design, manufacturing, and testing of electrical appliances to minimize the risk of electric shock, fire, and other accidents.

EN 60255-26:2020, on the other hand, is focused on ensuring the proper functioning and accuracy of protective relays used in electrical power systems. Its primary purpose is to ensure that these relays meet certain performance criteria and can withstand different operating conditions and system faults.

EN 60335-2-73:2020 and EN 60255-26:2020 are both important standards that are widely recognized in the field of electrical engineering and power systems. By following these standards, manufacturers can design and manufacture reliable and effective protective relays that meet the safety requirements for their customers while engineers and technicians can use these standards as a reference for testing and assessing the performance of relays in real-world applications.
