EN 62271-201:2014

High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 201: AC solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV

IEC 62271-201:2014 specifies requirements for prefabricated solid-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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) apart from updating with the second edition of IEC 62271-200 (issued in 2011), definitions, classifications and testing procedures have been specified more precisely; b) access to the solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear is now restricted to authorized personnel only. This implies that 'accessibility class B' (public access) has been deleted throughout the document; c) the term 'protection category' has been introduced to replace the term 'protection grade' (PA, PB1 and PB2).

Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 201: Appareillage sous enveloppe isolante solide pour courant alternatif de tensions assignées supérieures à 1 kV et inférieures ou égales à 52 kV

L'IEC 62271-201:2014 spécifie les exigences pour l'appareillage préfabriqué sous enveloppe isolante solide pour courant alternatif, prévu pour être installé à l'intérieur, pour des tensions assignées supérieures à 1 kV et inférieures ou égales à 52 kV et pour des fréquences de service inférieures ou égales à 60 Hz. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, parue en 2006. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) outre la mise à jour de la deuxième édition de l'IEC 62271-200 (parue en 2011), les définitions, classifications et procédures d'essai ont été spécifiées de manière plus précise; b) l'accès aux appareillages sous enveloppe isolante solide est désormais limité au seul personnel autorisé. Ceci signifie la suppression de la 'classe d'accessibilité B' (accès par le public) dans l'ensemble du document; c) le terme 'catégorie de protection' a été introduit afin de remplacer le terme 'classe de protection' (PA, PB1 et PB2).

Visokonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 201. del: Izolacijsko obdane izmenične stikalne in krmilne naprave za napetosti nad 1 kV in do vključno 52 kV (IEC 62271-201:2014)

Standard EN IEC 62271-201 določa zahteve za predizdelane izolacijsko obdane stikalne in krmilne naprave v kovinskih ohišjih za naznačene izmenične napetosti nad 1 kV do vključno 52 kV za notranjo namestitev in za frekvence delovanja do vključno 60 Hz. Dostop do stikalnih in krmilnih naprav je omejen samo na pooblaščeno osebje. OPOMBA 1 V tem dokumentu je visoka napetost (IEC 60050-601:1985, 601-01-27) nazivna napetost nad 1 000 V. Srednja napetost (IEC 60050-601:1985, 601-01-28) se običajno uporablja v razdelilnih sistemih z napetostmi nad 1 kV in vključno do 52 kV; glejte točko [1] v bibliografiji. OPOMBA 2 Čeprav se običajno uporablja za trifazne sisteme, je mogoče ta standard uporabiti tudi za eno- ali dvofazne sisteme. Okrovi lahko zajemajo fiksne in premične dele in so lahko za dodatno izolacijo napolnjeni s tekočino (kapljevino ali plinom). Pri stikalnih in krmilnih napravah z oddelki, napolnjenimi s plinom, je predvideni tlak omejen na največ 300 kPa (relativni tlak). Izolacijsko obdane stikalne in krmilne naprave, ki ustrezajo temu standardu, je mogoče varno prijemati med napajanjem. Za izolacijsko obdane stikalne in krmilne naprave za posebno uporabo, na primer v gorljivih atmosferah, rudnikih ali na ladjah, lahko veljajo dodatne zahteve. Komponente v izolacijsko obdanih stikalnih in krmilnih napravah so zasnovane in preskušene v skladu z ustreznimi standardi. Ta standard dopolnjuje standarde za posamezne komponente v zvezi z namestitvijo v stikalnih in krmilnih napravah. Ta standard ne izključuje vključitve druge opreme v istem ohišju. V takem primeru naj bi se upoštevalo morebiten vpliv takšne opreme na stikalno in krmilno napravo.
