Overview
EN 60143-2:2013/A1:2024 is a key European standard issued by CLC that focuses on the protective equipment for series capacitor banks used in power systems. As an amendment to the original EN 60143-2:2013, this updated document aligns with IEC 60143-2:2012/AMD1:2021, providing the latest technical specifications and requirements for safeguarding series capacitors in electric power networks. The amendment enhances protection strategies through updated quality criteria, testing protocols, and the integration of advanced components such as thyristor valves.
This standard is essential for manufacturers, system designers, and engineers who are involved in power capacitor technology and the reliability of high-voltage power systems. It ensures harmonized approaches for overvoltage protection and fault management, which are critical to maintaining power system stability and preventing equipment damage.
Key Topics
- Series Capacitors in Power Systems: Focus on the equipment installed in high-voltage transmission lines to improve power flow and system stability.
- Protective Equipment Specifications: Detailed requirements for devices that protect series capacitor banks from electrical faults and transient overvoltages.
- Overvoltage Protection: Classification and technical description of overvoltage protectors, including:
- Varistors
- Thyristor valves integrated with varistors (Type T1 protection scheme)
- Quality Requirements and Testing:
- Updated test methodologies for protective components, including electrical performance and endurance.
- Specification updates changing required items such as the number of test phases from three to four.
- Thyristor Valve Compliance: Introduction of thyristor valves into protection schemes. Thyristor valves must conform to IEC 62823 standards, which detail the electrical testing for thyristor-controlled series capacitors (TCSC).
- Standard Harmonization: Alignment with international IEC standards and CENELEC directives to ensure universal application and national adoption across European countries.
Applications
EN 60143-2:2013/A1:2024 is applicable in several practical areas:
- Power Transmission Systems: Ensures series capacitor banks are equipped with reliable protective devices to mitigate the risk of transient overvoltages and faults, enhancing grid stability and efficiency.
- Capacitor Bank Design: Provides guidance for design engineers to select and test appropriate protective equipment, including advanced solutions like thyristor valves.
- Component Manufacturing: Offers manufacturers detailed requirements for overvoltage protectors ensuring compliance, safety, and interoperability.
- Maintenance and Upgrades: Supports utilities in maintaining and upgrading existing series capacitor protection systems to current standards, thus extending equipment life while avoiding costly failures.
- Compliance and Certification: Aids conformity assessment bodies in testing and certifying protective equipment according to harmonized European standards.
Related Standards
- IEC 60143-2:2012/AMD1:2021: The international standard upon which EN 60143-2:2013/A1:2024 is based, covering protective equipment for series capacitor banks globally.
- IEC 62823: Specifies electrical testing requirements for thyristor valves used in Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSC), referenced for compliance in protection schemes involving thyristor valves.
- CENELEC Internal Regulations: Governs the procedures for adopting and applying European standards among member countries, ensuring uniform implementation.
- ISO/IEC Directives Parts 1 and 2: Provide procedural guidance on the development and formatting of international electrotechnical standards.
