BS EN 61439-5 is the fifth part of an international multi-series standard that deals with the aspects of low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies. BS EN 61439-5 defines the specific requirements for public electricity network distribution assemblies (PENDAs). Public electricity network distribution assemblies (PENDAs), have the following criteria:

Used for the distribution of electrical energy in three-phase systems for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1000 V AC Stationary Suitable for installation in places where only skilled persons have access for their use, however, outdoor types may be installed in situations that are accessible to ordinary persons For indoor or outdoor use

The object of BS EN 61439-5 is to state the definitions and to specify the service conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics, and tests for PENDAs. Network parameters may require tests at higher performance levels. PENDAs may also include control and or signalling devices associated with the distribution of electrical energy. BS EN 61439-5 applies to all PENDAs whether they are designed, manufactured on a one-off basis, or fully standardized and manufactured in quantity. The manufacture and/or assembly may ...
