INTRODUCTION to the Amendment
This amendment includes the following significant technical changes:
– the rated TRV has been replaced by a rated first-pole-to-clear factor;
– the rated time quantities have been moved to Clause 5 (Design and construction) and are
no longer ratings. The determination of the break time has been moved to IEC 62271-306;
– the number of test specimens has been removed;
– new test procedure for test-duty T100a;
– TRVs for circuit-breakers having a rated voltage of 52 kV and below used in effectively
earthed neutral systems have been added;
– 6.111 (capacitive current switching) has been rewritten;
– a number of informative annexes have been moved to IEC TR 62271-306.
