Tap-changers - Part 1: Performance requirements and test methods

IEC 60214-1:2014 applies to on-load tap-changers of both resistor and reactor types, de-energized tap-changers, and their motor-drive mechanisms. It applies mainly to tap-changers immersed in mineral insulating oil according to IEC 60296 but may also be used for tap-changers with air or gas insulation or immersed in other insulating liquids insofar as conditions are applicable. It applies mainly to tap-changers with arcing contacts but may also be used for arcing-free on-load tap-changers (such as electronic switching) insofar as conditions are applicable. This part of IEC 60214 applies to power and distribution transformers of all types and also to reactors. It does not apply to transformers and reactors mounted on railway rolling stock. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) incorporation of requirements on vacuum type on-load tap-changers, b) incorporation of requirements on gas insulated tap-changers, c) changes in the type tests to fit with the service conditions, d) reference to the newest edition of IEC 60076-3:2013.

Changeurs de prises - Partie 1: Prescriptions de performances et méthodes d'essai

L'IEC 60214-1:2014 s'applique aux changeurs de prises en charge aussi bien de type à résistance qu'à bobine d'inductance, aux changeurs de prises non alimentés et à leurs mécanismes d'entraînement à moteur. Elle s'applique essentiellement aux changeurs de prises immergés dans de l'huile minérale isolante selon l'IEC 60296, mais elle peut également être utilisée pour des changeurs de prises à isolation gazeuse ou dans l'air, ou immergés dans d'autres liquides isolants, dans la mesure où les conditions sont applicables. Elle s'applique essentiellement aux changeurs de prises avec contacts d'arc, mais peut également être utilisée pour les changeurs de prises en charge sans arc (tels que les changeurs à coupure électronique), dans la mesure où les conditions sont applicables. La présente partie de l'IEC 60214 s'applique à tous les types de transformateurs pour applications de puissance et de distribution et également aux bobines d'inductance. Elle ne s'applique pas aux transformateurs et bobines d'inductance montés sur matériel roulant ferroviaire. Cette deuxième édition de l'IEC 60214-1 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2003. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) intégration des exigences concernant les changeurs de prises en charge de type à vide, b) intégration des exigences concernant les changeurs de prises à isolation gazeuse, c) changements portant sur les essais de type afin de répondre aux conditions de service, d) référence à la nouvelle édition de l'IEC 60076-3:2013.

Odcepni preklopniki - 1. del: Tehnične zahteve in preskusne metode (IEC 60214-1:2014)

Standard EN IEC 60214-1 se uporablja za bremenske odcepne preklopnike v obliki uporov in reaktorjev, odcepne preklopnike brez visoke napetosti in njihove pogonske mehanizme. Večinoma se uporablja za odcepne preklopnike, potopljene v izolacijsko mineralno olje v skladu s standardom IEC 60296, vendar se lahko uporablja tudi za odcepne preklopnike z zračno ali plinsko izolacijo ali potopljene v druge izolacijske tekočine, če so pogoji primerni. Standard se večinoma uporablja za odcepne preklopnike z obločnimi kontakti, vendar se ga lahko uporabi tudi za bremenske odcepne preklopnike brez obločnih kontaktov (kot je elektronski preklop), če so pogoji primerni. Ta del standarda IEC 60214 se uporablja za močnostne in distribucijske transformatorje vseh vrst ter reaktorje, ne uporablja pa se za transformatorje in reaktorje, nameščene na železniških vozilih.
