Overview

EN IEC 62271-109:2019 is a European standard harmonized with the international IEC 62271-109:2019, developed and maintained by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). This standard addresses high-voltage switchgear and controlgear, specifically focusing on alternating-current (AC) series capacitor by-pass switches designed for outdoor installation. These switches are intended for three-phase systems operating at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on electrical systems with voltages exceeding 52 kV.

EN IEC 62271-109:2019 provides essential guidelines for the design, testing, installation, and operation of by-pass switches used in series capacitor banks of high-voltage AC systems, ensuring safety, reliability, and compatibility in power transmission and distribution networks. It also covers auxiliary equipment and operating devices linked with such switches.

Key Topics

  • Scope of Applicability

    • Supports interoperability and interchangeability across multinational high-voltage equipment deployments

Applications

  • Power Transmission Networks:
    Utilized to bypass series capacitors in high-voltage AC transmission lines, ensuring system stability, voltage regulation, and fault protection.

  • High-Voltage Substations:
    Applied within outdoor substations where capacitor banks are installed to dynamically control reactive power and improve power factor.

  • Grid Reliability Enhancement:
    Enables quick and safe disconnection of capacitor sections during maintenance or abnormal system conditions, minimizing downtime.

  • Industrial and Utility Installations:
    Ensures safe and reliable operation of high-voltage equipment critical to large electrical loads and utility-scale power distribution.

Related Standards

  • IEC 62271-1: Common specifications for alternating current switchgear and controlgear, foundational for understanding switchgear requirements.

  • IEC 60143-1 & IEC 60143-2: Standards for series capacitors in power systems and protective equipment for series capacitor banks, linked closely with capacitor by-pass switch functions.

  • IEC 62271-100: Related to alternating current circuit-breakers, often used in tandem with by-pass switches for system protection.

  • IEC 62271-102: Concerns AC disconnectors and earthing switches, components commonly integrated with by-pass switch installations.

  • IEC 60060 Series: Specifies high-voltage testing techniques essential for validating the dielectric strength and operational safety of AC series capacitor by-pass switches.

  • IEC 60071 Series: Addresses insulation coordination and voltage withstand levels in electrical equipment.

Practical Value

Implementing EN IEC 62271-109:2019-compliant AC series capacitor by-pass switches enables electrical utilities and industrial operators to:

  • Achieve consistent safety standards across international borders through a unified technical framework.
  • Enhance system performance by reliably managing reactive power compensation in high-voltage networks.
  • Reduce risks associated with the operation and maintenance of complex switchgear arrangements.
  • Ensure equipment longevity and operational readiness under diverse environmental conditions.
  • Streamline procurement and certification processes by adhering to recognized standards.

This standard is indispensable for engineers, manufacturers, and operators involved in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of high-voltage switchgear equipment that integrates AC series capacitor by-pass switches.
