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.

HIGH-VOLTAGE FUSES FOR THE EXTERNAL
PROTECTION OF SHUNT CAPACITORS
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.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60549 has been prepared by subcommittee 32A: High voltage
fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: 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:
a) alignment of the document with current IEC document structure requirements;
b) clarification of certain test requirements.
