(Main)High-voltage test techniques - Part 2: Measuring systems
High-voltage test techniques - Part 2: Measuring systems
IEC 60060-2:2025 is applicable to complete measuring systems and to their components, used for the measurement of high voltages during laboratory and factory tests with direct voltage, alternating voltage and lightning and switching impulse voltages and combined and composite voltages as specified in IEC 60060-1. For measurements during on-site tests, see IEC 60060-3. The limits on uncertainties of measurements stated in this document apply to test levels stated in IEC 60071-1. The principles of this document apply also to higher levels but the uncertainty can be greater.
This document:
• defines the terms used;
• describes methods to estimate the uncertainties of high-voltage measurements;
• states the requirements that apply to measuring systems;
• describes the methods for approving a measuring system and checking its components;
• describes the procedures by which the user demonstrates that a measuring system meets the requirements of this document, including the limits set for the uncertainty of measurement.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The general layout and text has been updated and improved to make the standard easier to use.
b) This document has been revised to align it with the fourth edition of IEC 60060-1.
c) The treatment of measurement uncertainty estimation has been expanded.
d) This document is now applicable to measuring systems used in testing at all standard insulation levels specified in IEC 60071-1.
e) The measurement uncertainty requirement for the front time of the standard lighting impulse voltage has been changed from 10 % to 15 %, for testing at all standard insulation levels specified in IEC 60071-1.
f) The parameter "time-to-peak" of the switching impulse defined in the third edition of IEC 60060-1:2010 has been replaced by "front time" in the fourth edition of IEC 60060-1. Necessary changes have been made in this document to accommodate this change in IEC 60060-1.
g) Clause 10, Measurement of combined voltages and Clause 11, Measurement of composite voltages have been added.
h) Clause B.1 has been significantly revised to align more closely with the provisions of Clause 5, including using the same nomenclature.
Hochspannungs-Prüftechnik - Teil 2: Messsysteme
Techniques des essais à haute tension - Partie 2: Systèmes de mesure
L'IEC 60060-2:2025 s'applique aux systèmes de mesure complets et à leurs constituants lorsqu'ils sont utilisés pour le mesurage de hautes tensions réalisé lors d'essais en laboratoire et en usine en tension continue, tension alternative, tensions de choc de foudre et tensions de choc de manœuvre, et tensions combinées et composites, comme cela est spécifié dans l'IEC 60060-1. Pour les mesurages réalisés lors d'essais sur site, voir l'IEC 60060-3. Les limites d'incertitudes de mesure établies dans le présent document s'appliquent aux niveaux d'essais définis dans l'IEC 60071-1. Les principes fournis dans le présent document s'appliquent aussi à des niveaux plus élevés, mais l'incertitude peut alors être plus élevée.
Le présent document:
• définit les termes utilisés;
• décrit des méthodes pour estimer les incertitudes des mesures à haute tension;
• détermine les exigences qui s'appliquent aux systèmes de mesure;
• décrit les méthodes à utiliser pour qualifier un système de mesure et pour en contrôler les différents constituants;
• décrit les procédures par lesquelles l'utilisateur démontre qu'un système de mesure satisfait aux exigences du présent document, y compris les limites fixées pour l'incertitude de mesure.
Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) La présentation générale et le texte ont été mis à jour et améliorés pour faciliter l'utilisation de la norme.
b) Le présent document a été révisé afin de s'aligner sur la quatrième édition de l'IEC 60060 1.
c) Le traitement de l'estimation de l'incertitude de mesure a été élargi.
d) Le présent document s'applique désormais aux systèmes de mesure utilisés pour les essais à tous les niveaux d'isolement normalisés spécifiés dans l'IEC 60071-1.
e) L'exigence relative à l'incertitude de mesure du temps de montée de la tension de choc de foudre normalisée a été modifiée de 10 % à 15 % pour les essais à tous les niveaux d'isolement normalisés spécifiés dans l'IEC 60071-1.
f) Le paramètre "durée jusqu'à la valeur de crête" du choc de manœuvre défini dans la troisième édition de l'IEC 60060-1:2010 a été remplacé par le "temps de montée" dans la quatrième édition de l'IEC 60060-1. Des modifications nécessaires ont été apportées dans le présent document pour tenir compte de cette modification de l'IEC 60060-1.
g) L'Article 10, Mesure de tensions combinées et l'Article 11, Mesure de tensions composites ont été ajoutés.
h) L'Article B.1 a été révisé de manière significative afin de mieux s'aligner sur les dispositions de l'Article 5, y compris en utilisant la même nomenclature.
