High-voltage fuses for the external protection of shunt capacitors

IEC 60549:2013 applies to external fuses used with high-voltage capacitors according to IEC 60871-1, Shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V - Part 1: General. IEC 60871-1 is applicable to both capacitor units and capacitor banks intended to be used, particularly, for power-factor correction of a.c. power systems, and also to capacitors intended for use in power filter circuits. Fuses according to IEC 60549:2013 are intended to clear either faults inside a capacitor unit to permit continued operation of the remaining parts of the bank in which the unit is connected (unit fuses) or faults on the whole capacitor bank to isolate the bank from the system (line fuses). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1976. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - alignment of the document with current IEC document structure requirements; - clarification of certain test requirements. Keywords: external fuses used with high-voltage capacitors, shunt capacitors for a.c.power system

Coupe-circuit à fusibles haute tension destinés à la protection externe des condensateurs shunt

La CEI 60549:2013 s'applique aux fusibles externes utilisés avec des condensateurs à haute tension, selon la CEI 60871-1: Condensateurs shunt pour réseaux à courant alternatif de tension assignée supérieure à 1 000 V - Partie 1: Généralités. La CEI 60871-1 s'applique autant aux unités qu'aux batteries de condensateurs destinées notamment à être utilisées pour la correction du facteur de puissance de réseaux à courant alternatif, ainsi qu'aux condensateurs utilisés dans les circuits de filtres de puissance. Les fusibles répondant à la CEI 60549:2013 sont destinés à éliminer les défauts concernant une unité, afin de permettre aux autres parties de la batterie connectées à cette unité de continuer à fonctionner (fusibles d'unité), ou les défauts concernant une batterie dans son ensemble afin de l'isoler du réseau (fusibles de ligne). Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1976. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - alignement du présent document avec les exigences actuelles relatives à la structure des documents CEI; - clarification de certaines exigences d'essai. Mots clés: fusibles externes utilisés avec des condensateurs à haute tension, Condensateurs shunt pour réseaux à courant alternatif de tension

Visokonapetostne varovalke za zunanjo zaščito vzporednih kondenzatorjev (IEC 60549:2013)

Ta del standarda IEC 60127 zajema zahteve za miniaturne taljive vložke za posebno uporabo. Ne uporablja se za varovalke, ki so v celoti vključene v nadaljnjih delih standarda IEC 60269-1. Ne velja za miniaturne taljive vložke za aparate, namenjene uporabi pod posebnimi pogoji, npr. v korozivni ali eksplozivni atmosferi. Ta standard se poleg tega uporablja za zahteve iz standarda IEC 60127-1. Ta standard se uporablja za taljive vložke z nazivno napetostjo, ki ne presega 1000 V, nazivnim tokom, ki ne presega 20 A, in nazivno izklopno zmogljivostjo, ki ne presega 50 kA. Miniaturnih taljivih vložkov za posebno uporabo ne sme zamenjevati končni uporabnik električnega/elektronskega aparata. Namen tega standarda je vzpostaviti enotne preskusne metode za miniaturne taljive vložke za posebno uporabo, tako da se omogoči preverjanje vrednosti (na primer čas taljenja in vrednosti zmogljivosti prekinitve), ki jih določi proizvajalec.
