AS/NZS 60335.2.29:2017 pdf free.Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety Part 2.29: Particular requirements for battery chargers.
3 Terms and definitions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
3.1.1 Addition:
The rated voltage is the rated input voltage.
3.1.6 Addition:
The rated current is the rated input current.
3.1.9 Replacement:
normal operation
operation 01 the appliance under the lollowing conditions:
Battery chargers for charging lead-acid batteries, and other battery chargers having a rated DC output current not exceeding 20 A, are connected to the circuit of Figure 101. The variable resistor is adjusted so that the current in the circuit is the rated DC output current when the battery charger is supplied at rated voltage.
When the charging current is controlled by the state of charge of the battery, the variable resistor and the capacitor are replaced by a discharged battery of the type and having the largest capacity specified in the instructions.
Other battery chargers are connected to a discharged battery of the type and having the largest capacity specified in the instructions.
3.2.2 Addition:
Output flexible cords are not considered to be interconnection cords.
3.4.3 Replacement:
safety isolating transformer
transformer, the input winding of which is electricay separated from the output winding by an insulation at least equivalent to double insulation or reinforced insulation, that is intended to supply a battery charging circuit having an output voltage not exceeding 120 V ripple-free direct current
Note I to entry; Ripple-tree means an r.m.s, ripple voltage not exceeding 10 $ of the DC component.
3.101 rated DC output voltage
output voltage assigned to the battery charger by the manufacturer
3.102 rated DC output current
output current assigned to the battery charger by the manufacturer
4 General requirement
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
5 General conditions for the tests
This clause of Part I is applicable except as follows.
5.2 Addition:
If the test of 21. 101 is carried out, two additional battery chargers are required.
5.101 Battery chargers are tested as motor-operated appliances.
6 Classification
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
6.2 Addition:
Battery chargers for outdoor use shall be at least IPX4.
7 MarkIng and Instructions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
7.1 Addition:
Battery chargers shall be marked with
— rated DC output voltage, in volts:
rated DC output current, in amperes, however no other output current shall be marked;
— the rated current, in amperes, of protective devices incorporated in a DC distribution board.AS/NZS 60335.2.29 pdf download.
