EN IEC 62271-108:2020

High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 108: High-voltage alternating current disconnecting circuit-breakers for rated voltages above 52 kV

This part of EN 62271 applies to high-voltage alternating current disconnecting circuit-breakers for operation at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on systems having voltages of 72,5 kV and above. This standard identifies which requirements of EN 60694, EN 62271-100 and EN 62271-102 standards are applicable. It also gives the additional requirements specific to these devices. This standard covers a circuit-breaker which, when in the open position, satisfies the requirements of both a circuit-breaker and a disconnector.

Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 108: Disjoncteurs-sectionneurs à courant alternatif à haute tension de tensions assignées supérieures à 52 kV

La présente partie de la EN 62271 s'applique aux disjoncteurs-sectionneurs à courant alternatif à haute tension fonctionnant à des fréquences de 50 Hz et 60 Hz sur des systèmes de tension assignée supérieure ou égale à 72,5 kV. La présente norme identifie les exigences des normes EN 60694, EN 62271-100 et EN 62271-102 qui sont applicables. Elle donne également les exigences supplémentaires spécifiques à ces appareils. La présente norme couvre un disjoncteur qui, en position d'ouverture, satisfait à la fois aux exigences d'un disjoncteur et d'un sectionneur.
