Adopts, with national modifications, IEC 60947-3:2015 (ED. 3.2) to specify requirements for switches, disconnectors, switch-disconnectors and fuse-combination units to be used in distribution circuits and motor circuits of which the rated voltage does not exceed 1000 V a.c. or 1500 V d.c.. Includes new requirements for photovoltaic (PV) d.c. applications. Reference to Part 1 is required for the application of this Standard.

This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee EL-006, Industrial Switchgear and Controlgear, to supersede AS/NZS IEC 60947.3:2015.

After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.

AS/NZS IEC 60947.3:2015 will also remain current for 12 months and after this time it will be superseded by AS 60947.3:2018. Regulatory authorities that reference this Standard in regulation may apply these requirements at a different time. Users of this Standard should consult with these authorities to confirm their requirements.

The essential safety requirements for electrical equipment as specified in AS/NZS 3820, Essential safety requirements for electrical equipment, that could be applicable to equipment in the scope of this Standard, are covered by this Standard taken in conjunction with any other relevant requirements affecting safety.
