5.2).2.1 Classification electrical and electronic equipment with regard to
protection against electric shock the event insulation fault
This classification provided for low-voltage electrical and electronic equipment intended
for connection external power supply (to distribution system). The classification is
elaborated with regard protection against electric shock the event insulation failure.
