Surge arresters - Part 5: Selection and application recommendations
IEC 60099-5:2018 provides information, guidance, and recommendations for the selection and application of surge arresters to be used in three-phase systems with nominal voltages above 1 kV. It applies to gapless metal-oxide surge arresters as defined in IEC 60099-4, to surge arresters containing both series and parallel gapped structure – rated 52 kV and less as defined in IEC 60099-6 and metal-oxide surge arresters with external series gap for overhead transmission and distribution lines (EGLA) as defined in IEC 60099-8. In Annex J, some aspects regarding the old type of SiC gapped arresters are discussed. Surge arrester residual voltage is a major parameter to which most users have paid a lot of attention to when selecting the type and rating. Typical maximum residual voltages are given in Annex F. It is likely, however, that for some systems, or in some countries, the requirements on system reliability and design are sufficiently uniform, so that the recommendations of the present standard may lead to the definition of narrow ranges of arresters. The user of surge arresters will, in that case, not be required to apply the whole process introduced here to any new installation and the selection of characteristics resulting from prior practice may be continued. Annexes H and I present comparisons and calculations between old line discharge classification and new charge classification. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition regarding the new surge arrester classification introduced in IEC 60099-4:2014:
a) Expanded discussion of comparison between the old and new classification and how to calculate or estimate the corresponding charge for different stresses.
b) New annexes dealing with:
- Comparison between line discharge classes and charge classification
- Estimation of arrester cumulative charges and energies during line switching
Keywords: selection and application of surge arrestors, nominal voltages above 1 kV
Parafoudres - Partie 5: Recommandations pour le choix et l'utilisation
IEC 60099-5:2018 comporte des informations et des recommandations pour le choix et l'utilisation des parafoudres à utiliser sur des réseaux triphasés de tensions nominales supérieures à 1 kV. Elle concerne les parafoudres à oxyde métallique sans éclateur définis dans l'IEC 60099-4, les parafoudres qui contiennent des structures avec éclateur en série et en parallèle, de tension assignée inférieure ou égale à 52 kV, tels que définis dans l'IEC 60099-6, et les parafoudres à oxyde métallique à éclateur extérieur en série pour les lignes aériennes de transmission ou de distribution (EGLA) tels que définis dans l'IEC 60099-8. L'Annexe J traite de quelques aspects concernant les anciens parafoudres au carbure de silicium (SiC) avec éclateur. La tension résiduelle des parafoudres représente un paramètre essentiel dont la plupart des utilisateurs tiennent dûment compte lors du choix du type et des caractéristiques assignées d'un parafoudre. Les tensions résiduelles maximales types sont données à l'Annexe F. Il est probable, cependant, que pour certains réseaux, ou pour certains pays, les exigences de fiabilité et de conception des réseaux soient assez uniformes pour que les recommandations de la présente norme puissent se traduire par la définition de plages limitées de parafoudres. L'utilisateur de parafoudres n'est alors pas tenu de reprendre pour chaque nouvelle installation toute la démarche exposée dans le présent document et le choix des caractéristiques relevant de la pratique antérieure peut perdurer. Les Annexes H et I comparent l'ancienne classification de décharge de ligne et la nouvelle classification des charges, et présentent les méthodes de calculs. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2013. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente, qui concernent la nouvelle classification des parafoudres introduite dans l'IEC 60099-4:2014:
a) comparaison détaillée entre l'ancienne et la nouvelle classification, et présentation détaillée de la méthode de calcul ou d'estimation de la charge correspondante pour les différentes contraintes;
b) nouvelles annexes portant sur:
- la comparaison entre les classes de décharge de ligne et la classification des charges;
- l'estimation des charges et des énergies cumulées des parafoudres lors d'une manœuvre de ligne.
