73 FOREWORD

74 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

75 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

76 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

77 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

78 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

79 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

80 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

81 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

82 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

83 agreement between the two organizations.

84 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

85 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

86 interested IEC National Committees.

87 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

88 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

89 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

90 misinterpretation by any end user.

91 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

92 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

93 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

94 the latter.

95 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

96 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

97 services carried out by independent certification bodies.

98 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

99 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

100 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

101 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

102 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

103 Publications.

104 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

105 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

106 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

107 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

108 IEC 60071-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 99: Insulation co-ordination and

109 system engineering of high voltage electrical power installations above 1,0 kV AC and 1,5 kV

110 DC. It is an International Standard.

111 This International Standard and IEC 60071-12 'Application guidelines for LCC HVDC converter

112 stations' jointly replace IEC 60071-5 published in 2014.

139
140 1 Scope
141 1.1 General

142 This standard applies to High-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. It specifies the

143 principles on the procedures for the determination of the specified withstand voltages,

144 creepage distance and air clearances for the equipment and the installations of these systems.

145 This standard gives the insulation co-ordination principles related to line commutated

146 converter (LCC) and voltage sourced converters (VSC) HVDC systems. The main principles of

147 this standard also apply to other special converter configurations of LCC, such as the

148 capacitor commutated converter (CCC) as well as the controlled series compensated

149 converter (CSCC) etc.

150 This standard applies to insulation co-ordination of equipment connected between the

151 converter AC bus (including the AC harmonic filters, the converter transformer, the circuit

152 breakers) and the DC line side. The line and cable terminations in so far as they influence the

153 insulation co-ordination of converter station equipment are also covered.

154 This standard applies only for HVDC applications in power systems and not for industrial

155 conversion equipment. Principles and guidance given are for insulation co-ordination

156 purposes only. The requirements for human safety are not covered by this standard.

157 This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the

158 preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

159 One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of

160 horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal

161 standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

162 1.2 Additional background

163 The use of power semi-conductor device in a series and/or parallel arrangement, along with

164 the unique control and protection strategies employed in the conversion process, has

165 ramifications requiring particular consideration of overvoltage protection of equipment in

166 converter stations compared with substations in AC systems.

167 The basic principles and design objectives of insulation co-ordination of converter stations, in

168 so far as they differ from normal AC system practice, are described.

169 NOTE In IEC 60071-12, Application guidelines, all rules for insulation co-ordination given in this standard are

170 justified in detail, in particular the association of the specified withstand voltages with the rated voltage for

171 equipment, and arrester configuration.

173 The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their

174 content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition

175 cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including

235 slow-front overvoltage

236 transient overvoltage, usually unidirectional, with time to peak 20 μs < T ≤ 5 000 μs, and

237 tail duration T ≤ 20 ms

238 Note 1 to entry: For the purpose of insulation co-ordination, slow-front overvoltages are classified according to

239 their shape, regardless of their origin. Although considerable deviations from the standard shapes occur on actual

240 systems, in this standard it is considered sufficient in most cases to describe such overvoltages by their

241 classification and peak value.
242 3.4.2.2
243 fast-front overvoltage

244 overvoltage at a given location on a system, due to a lightning discharge or other cause, the

245 shape of which can be regarded, for insulation co-ordination purposes, as similar to that of

246 the standard impulse (IEC 60060-1) used for lightning impulse tests

247 Note 1 to entry: Fast-front overvoltage is defined as transient overvoltage, usually unidirectional, with time to peak

248 0,1 μs < T ≤ 20 μs, and tail duration T ≤ 300 μs in IEC 60071-1:2019, 3.17.3.2.

251 systems, in this standard it is considered sufficient in most cases to describe such overvoltages by their

252 classification and peak value.
253 3.4.2.3
254 very-fast-front overvoltage

255 transient overvoltage, usually unidirectional, with time to peak T < 0,1 μs, and with or without

256 superimposed oscillations at frequency 30 kHz < f < 100 MHz
257 [SOURCE: IEC 60071-1:2019, 3.17.3.3]
258 3.4.2.4
259 steep-front overvoltage

260 transient overvoltage classified as a kind of fast-front overvoltage with time to peak3 ns < T <

261 1,2 μs

262 Note 1 to entry: A steep-front impulse voltage for test purposes is defined in IEC 60700-1.

263 Note 2 to entry: The front time is decided by means of system studies.
264 3.4.2.5
265 combined overvoltage

266 overvoltage consisting of two voltage components simultaneously applied between each of

267 the two-phase terminals of a phase-to-phase (or longitudinal) insulation and earth

268 Note 1 to entry: Combined overvoltage can include temporary, slow-front, fast-front or very-fast front overvoltages.

269 Note 2 to entry: It is classified by the component of higher peak value.
270 3.5
271 representative overvoltages
272 U

273 overvoltages assumed to produce the same dielectric effect on the insulation as overvoltages

274 of a given class occurring in service due to various origins

275 Note 1 to entry: In this standard it is generally assumed that the representative overvoltages are characterized by

276 their assumed or obtained maximum values.
