FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or

INTRODUCTION
Traditionally a high-voltage/low-voltage distribution substation has been constructed by
installing the main electrical components –high-voltage switchgear, distribution transformer(s)
and the corresponding low-voltage distribution panel(s)- within a closed electrical operating
area. It can be a room within a building intended for other (non electrical uses) or a separated
housing (prefabricated or not) designed specifically to contain the electrical equipment of the
substation or an open area limited by fences.
Some years ago in the search for a more standardized and compact substation, the concept
of prefabricated substation was developed. IEC 62271-202 covers this type of substation.
According to this document, the main electrical components (high-voltage switchgear,
transformer and low-voltage switchgear) are fully in compliance with their respective product
standard, and the whole substation, including interconnections and enclosure is designed and
type tested and later manufactured and routine tested in the factory. Correspondingly the
quality of the substation is assured by the manufacturer.
Moreover, also other types of assemblies have been introduced in the market. These are
assemblies comprising the main electrical active components of the substation and their
interconnections, delivered as a single product. The product can therefore be type tested,
manufactured, routine tested in the factory, transported and then installed in a closed
electrical operating area.
This type of factory assembled and type-tested product is covered by this document receiving
the generic name CEADS from Compact Equipment Assembly for Distribution Substation.
Numerous arrangements are possible and this document provides guidance on basic types of
assemblies, which might be envisaged.
A CEADS is not covered by IEC 61936-1. However CEADS is intended to become part of a
distribution substation.
Taking into account the closer proximity of the components that even can share some parts
(enclosure, solid or fluid insulation…) it is very relevant to pay attention to the potential
interaction between them. Therefore to cover CEADS is neither sufficient nor always
applicable to refer to the relevant product standards. This document covers any additional
design and construction requirements and test methods applicable to the different types of
CEADS. In addition to the specified characteristics, particular attention has been paid to the
specification concerning the protection of persons, both operators and general public.
The CEADS is also for the interest of committee TC 14: Power transformers, and committee
TC 121: Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
Part 212: Compact Equipment Assembly
for Distribution Substation (CEADS)
1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 62271 specifies the service conditions, rated characteristics, general
structural requirements and test methods of the assemblies of the main electrical functional
units of a high-voltage/low-voltage distribution substation, duly interconnected, for alternating
current of rated operating voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV on the high-
voltage side, service frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This assembly is to be cable-connected to the
network, and intended for installation within an indoor or outdoor closed electrical operating
area.
A Compact Equipment Assembly for Distribution Substation (CEADS) as defined in this
document is designed and tested to be a single product with a single serial number and one
set of documentation.
The functions of a CEADS are:
• switching and control for the operation of the high-voltage circuit(s);
• protection of the high-voltage/low-voltage transformer functional unit;
• high-voltage/low-voltage transformation;
• switching and control for the operation and protection of the low-voltage feeders.
However relevant provisions of this document are also applicable to designs where not all of
these functions exist (e.g. equipment comprising only high-voltage/low-voltage transformation
and switching and control for the operation and protection of the low-voltage feeder functions
or equipment without switching and control for the operation of the high-voltage circuit(s)).
NOTE For the purpose of this document a self-protected transformer is considered not as a CEADS, but as a
functional unit, designed and type tested to its own product standard IEC 60076-13:2006.
1.2 Normative references
