IEC 61439-4:2023 defines the specific requirements of ACS as follows:
- assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V in case of AC or 1 500 V in case of DC;
- assemblies where the nominal primary voltage and the nominal secondary voltage of transformers incorporated in ACS are within the limits specified above;
- assemblies intended for use on construction sites, both indoors and outdoors, i.e. temporary places of work to which the public do not generally have access and where building construction, installation, repairs, alteration or demolition of property (buildings) or civil engineering (public works) or excavation or any other similar operations are carried out;
