This part of IEC 62271 specifies the service conditions, rated characteristics, general structural requirements and test methods of enclosed high-voltage prefabricated substations. These prefabricated substations are cable-connected to AC high-voltage networks with an operating voltage up to and including 52 kV and power frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. They can be manually operated from inside (walk-in type) or from outside (non-walk-in type). They are designed for outdoor installation at locations with public accessibility and where protection of personnel is provided. These prefabricated substations can be situated at ground level or partially or completely below ground level. The last are also called "underground prefabricated substations". In general, two types of prefabricated substations are considered in this document: - high-voltage switchgear prefabricated substations; - high-voltage/low-voltage transformer prefabricated substations (step-up and step-down). A high-voltage switchgear prefabricated substation comprises an enclosure containing in general the following electrical components: - high-voltage switchgear and controlgear; - auxiliary equipment and circuits. A high-voltage/low-voltage transformer prefabricated substation comprises an enclosure containing in general the following electrical components: - power transformer(s); - high-voltage and low-voltage switchgear and controlgear; - high-voltage and low-voltage interconnections; - auxiliary equipment and circuits. However, relevant provisions of this document are applicable to designs where not all these electrical components exist (for example, a prefabricated substation consisting of power transformer and low-voltage switchgear and controlgear). The listed electrical components of a high-voltage/low-voltage transformer prefabricated substation can be incorporated in the prefabricated substation either as separate components or as an assembly type CEADS according to IEC 62271-212. This document covers only designs using natural ventilation. However, relevant provisions of this document are applicable to designs using other means of ventilation except the rated power of the prefabricated substation and associated class of enclosure (see 5.101), the continuous current tests (see 7.5) and all temperature rise related requirements, which would need an agreement between manufacturer and user. NOTE 1 IEC 61936-1 [1]1 provides general rules for the design and erection of high-voltage power installations. As well, it specifies additional requirements for the external connections, erection and operation at the place of installation of high-voltage prefabricated substations compliant with IEC 62271-202, which are regarded as a component of such installation. Non-prefabricated high-voltage substations, are generally covered by IEC 61936-1 [1]. NOTE 2 High-voltage switchgear prefabricated substations can include instrument transformers, according to IEC 61869 (all parts). These substations are not high-voltage/low-voltage transformer prefabricated substations.

This document is applicable to three-phase, two-phase and single phase equipment. Enclosures may include fixed and removable components and may be filled with fluid (liquid or gas) to provide insulation.

This part of IEC 62271 specifies requirements for gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear in which the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by an insulating gas or gas mixture other than air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV, for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. For the purpose of this document, the terms "GIS" and "switchgear" are used for "gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear". The gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear covered by this document consists of individual components intended to be directly connected together and able to operate only in this manner. This document completes and amends, if applicable, the various relevant standards applying to the individual components constituting GIS.

This part of IEC 62271 applies to rigid HV gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) in which the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by a non-corrosive insulating gas, other than air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. It is intended that this international standard shall be used where the provisions of IEC 62271-203 do not cover the application of GIL (see Note 3). At each end of the HV gas-insulated transmission line, a specific element may be used for the connection between the HV gas-insulated transmission line and other equipment like bushings, power transformers or reactors, cable boxes, metal-enclosed surge arresters, voltage transformers or GIS, covered by their own specification. Unless otherwise specified, the HV gas-insulated transmission line is designed to be used under normal service conditions. Note 1 to entry: In this international standard, the term "HV gas-insulated transmission line" is abbreviated to "GIL". Note 2 to entry: In this international standard, the word "gas" means gas or gas mixture, as defined by the manufacturer. Note 3 to entry: Examples of GIL applications are given: - where all or part of the HV gas-insulated transmission line is directly buried; or - where the HV gas-insulated transmission line is located, wholly or partly, in an area accessible to public; or - where the HV gas-insulated transmission line is long (typically longer than to 500 m) and the typical gas compartment length exceeds the common practice of GIS technology.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous editions of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-206:
the document does not include the specific phase comparators (SPCs) as defined in IEC 61243-5, which was specific to manufacturers, and takes back the technical principles of the universal phase comparator (UPC) for VDIS of all manufacturers;
the phase comparator for sequential connected operation is introduced to facilitate the operation of phase comparation of large MV panels.

IEC 62271-213:2021 is applicable to the voltage detecting and indicating system (VDIS) to be installed on indoor and outdoor high-voltage equipment. The VDIS as defined by this document includes a coupling system per phase (capacitive, resistive coupling or other technology) to connect to live parts (main circuit). This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61243-5 published in1997 and the first edition of IEC 62271-206 published in 2011. This edition constitutes a merging of the content of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-206. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous editions of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-206: a) an optional output signal is defined to be used for multipurpose use cases; b) only one interface is defined for voltage detecting and indicating system (VDIS); c) the measurement of the current carrying capacity of the voltage limiting element is considered as inaccurate and is not considered in this document. The experience shows that a probability of the failure of the coupling element is negligible.

This part of IEC 62271 applies to compact switchgear assemblies consisting of at least one switching device directly connected to, or sharing components with, one or more other devices such that there is an interaction between the functions of the individual devices. Such assemblies are made up of devices defined in 1.101 and are designed, tested and supplied for use as a single unit. The interaction between devices may be due to proximity, sharing of components or a combination of both. The assemblies may contain components of air insulated switchgear (AIS) only or a combination of AIS and gas insulated switchgear (GIS), so called mixed technology switchgear (MTS) and may be delivered entirely prefabricated or partially assembled.

This first edition of IEC 62271-206 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61958. This edition constitutes a minor revision. The main changes with respect of the first edition of IEC 61958 are an actualization of references and the degree of protection which has been changed from IPXXB to IP2X.

This European Standard specifies the service conditions, rated characteristics, general structural requirements and test methods of the prefabricated assembly of the main electrical functional units of a HV/LV Distribution Substation, duly interconnected, for alternating current of rated operating voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV on the HV side, service frequency 50 Hz. This assembly is to be cable-connected to the network. This Compact Equipment Assembly for Distribution Substation (CEADS) as defined in this standard is designed and tested to be a single product with a single serial number and one set of documentation. Such equipment is delivered as single transport unit. For practical reasons manufacturer and user can agree to transport the unit dismantled if transport or installation of the complete CEADS is not possible. In that case suitable verification tests shall be carried out at the installation site. Note 1: Where the functional units are independent each functional unit will also have its own serial number. A CEADS is not a Distribution Substation, either prefabricated (covered by EN 62271 202) or not (covered by EN 61936-1). However CEADS is intended to become part of a Distribution Substation assembling the HV equipment, the power transformer and the LV equipment duly interconnected (see Annex C, which also explains the origin and types of CEADS). The functions of a CEADS are: – switching and control for the operation of the HV side and protection of the HV/LV transformer functional unit; – HV/LV transformation; – switching and control for the operation and protection of the LV feeders. However relevant provisions of this standard are also applicable to designs where not all of these functions exist (e.g. equipment comprising only HV/LV transformation and switching and control for the operation and protection of the LV feeder functions). For public distribution networks, CEADS are intended for installation within an indoor or outdoor closed electrical operating area (see Definition 1.3.3) forming part of a Distribution Substation. For industrial applications, such as factories, installation of CEADS outside a closed electrical operating area may be allowed provided that safety regulations are fulfilled by additional measures adopted at the installation site under the responsibility of the designer of the installation. This standard considers the potential interaction between the individual functions when closely installed and interconnected to form a type tested assembly and defines ratings, particular design and construction requirements and test procedures for this assembly. NOTE 2 Interaction is the influence of one functional units of the equipment on another (i.e. electrical mechanical and thermal stresses). NOTE 3 For the purpose of this standard a self-protected transformer is considered not as a CEADS, but as a functional unit, designed and type tested to its own product standard EN 60076 13.

This standard covers the connection assembly of fluid-filled and extruded cables to gas-insulated metal enclosed switchgear (GIS), in single- or three-phase arrangements where the cable-terminations are fluid-filled or dry type and there is a separating insulating barrier between the cable insulation and the gas insulation of the switchgear.

This International Standard applies to switchgear assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installations, including their supporting structure rigidly connected to the ground, and does not cover the seismic qualification of live tank circuit breakers. Switchgear assemblies do have typically low centers of gravity, e.g. gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). This first edition of IEC 62271-207 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62271-2 and constitutes a technical revision. The change from IEC 62271-2 is as follows: -the minimum voltage rating was changed from 72,5 kV to above 52 kV

This part of IEC 62271 specifies requirements for factory-assembled insulation-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV for indoor installation and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.

This part of IEC 62271 specifies the service conditions, rated characteristics, general structural requirements and test methods of HV/LV or LV/HV prefabricated substations, which are cable-connected, to be operated from inside (walk-in type) or outside (non-walk-in type) for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV on the HV side, and for one or more transformers for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz for outdoor installation in locations with public accessibility.

This International Standard is applicable to high-voltage switchgear and controlgear (scope of IEC SC 17A) and assemblies thereof (scope of IEC SC 17C) and specifies equipment for digital communication with other parts of the substation and its impact on testing. This equipment for digital communication, replacing metal parallel wiring, can be integrated into the high-voltage switchgear, controlgear, and assemblies thereof, or can be an external equipment in order to provide compliance for existing switchgear and controlgear and assemblies thereof with the standards of the IEC 61850 series.

IEC/TS 62271-304:2008 applies to indoor enclosed switchgear and controlgear complying with IEC 62271-200 and IEC 62271-201, intended to be used in service conditions more severe with respect to condensation and pollution than the normal service conditions specified in IEC 62271-1. This technical specification covers equipment where any of the insulation is exposed to indoor climatic conditions. This first edition of IEC/TS 62271-304 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC/TS 60932, published in 1988, and constitutes a technical revision. This revised document has been basically changed to be updated to today's use of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear up to 52 kV. The contents of the corrigendum of January 2010 have been included in this copy.

Specifies requirements for gas-insulated, metal-enclosed switchgear in which the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by an insulating gas other than air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV, for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. For the purpose of this standard, the terms GIS and switchgear are used for gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear. The gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear covered by this standard consists of individual components intended to be directly connected together and able to operate only in this manner. This standard completes and amends, if necessary, the various relevant standards applying to the individual components constituting GIS. This first edition of EN 62271-203 cancels and replaces the third edition of EN 60517, published in 1990, and constitutes a technical revision. With the revision, significant changes from the previous edition have been made. The most important changes are deleting not used technologies, like 3-phase PD measurements, adopting the content to EN 62271-1 'Common Clauses' and harmonisation with IEEE C37.122. This standard is now more up to date to today's products on the world market. This International Standard should be read in conjunction with EN 60694, second edition, published in 1996, its Amendment 1 (2000) and its Amendment 2 (2001), to which it refers and which is applicable unless otherwise specified.

Specifies requirements for factory-assembled metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. Enclosures may include fixed and removable components and may be filled with fluid (liquid or gas) to provide insulation. This standard defines several types of metal enclosed switchgear and controlgear which differ due to - the consequences on network service continuity in case of maintenance on the switchgear and controlgear; - the need and convenience of maintenance of the equipment. For metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear containing gas-filled compartments, the design pressure is limited to a maximum of 300 kPa (relative pressure). Metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for special use, for example, in flammable atmospheres, in mines or on board ships, may be subject to additional requirements. Components contained in metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear are to be designed and tested in accordance with their various relevant standards. This standard supplements the standards for the individual components regarding their installation in switchgear and controlgear assemblies. This standard does not preclude that other equipment may be included in the same enclosure. In such a case, any possible influence of that equipment on the switchgear and controlgear is to be taken into account. This first edition of EN 62271-200 cancels and replaces the third edition of EN 60298, published in 1990, and constitutes a technical revision. Significant technical changes from the third edition of EN 60298 are as follows: This revised document has been basically changed to be updated to today's use of high- voltage switchgear and controlgear up to 52 kV. The main changes are: new definitions and classification of equipment, introduction of internal arc classes (IAC) and its testing. This standard is to be rea

Applies to all switchgear and their assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages of 72,5 kV and above for indoor and outdoor installation, including their supporting structure rigidly connected to the ground. Where switchgear and their assemblies are not ground mounted, e.g. in a building, conditions for application are subject to agreement between users and manufacturers. The seismic qualification of the switchgear and their assemblies take into account any auxiliary and control equipment either directly mounted or as a separate structure. This standard provides procedures to seismically qualify ground mounted switchgear and their assemblies for rated voltages of 72,5 kV and above. The seismic qualification of the switchgear and their assemblies is only performed upon request. This standard specifies seismic severity levels and gives a choice of methods that may be applied to demonstrate the performance of high-voltage switchgear and their assemblies for which seismic qualification is required.

Is applicable to voltage presence indicating systems (VPIS) incorporated in a.c. switchgear and controlgear coverred by EN 60298 or EN 60466. Is also applicable to phase comparators specifically designed for use with VPIS.
