Safety analysis
The following functional safety characteristic values were
determined for the PKE12, PKE32, and PKE65 motor-protec-
tive circuit-breakers by TÜV Rheinland Inter Traffic GmbH's
TSC (Transport Safety Consult) unit:
For operation as high-demand systems (> 1/year) with archi-
tecture 1oo1, consisting of subsystems of type A with a hard-
ware fault tolerance (HFT) of 0 (see EN 61508 Part 1,
Table 3 and EN 61508 Part 2, Table 2) for PKE12, PKE32,
and PKE65 motor-protective circuit-breakers at an ambient
temperature of 40 °C (component temperature of 90 °C):
• Motor protection (overload)
– Safety integrity level
