High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 200: AC metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV

IEC 62271-200:2011 specifies requirements for prefabricated metal enclosed switchgear and controlgear for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. Enclosures may include fixed and removable components and may be filled with fluid (liquid or gas) to provide insulation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2003. It is a technical revision. This second edition of IEC 62271-200 has been further updated and improved to the experience gained with the first edition of IEC 62271-200. As maintenance result, this second edition of IEC 62271-200 introduces the following significant changes: - definitions, classifications and testing procedures are specified more precisely; - categories LSC2A and LSC2B have been clarified and LSC2 has been assigned a separate definition; - specific ratings related to fault level to earth (4.5 to 4.7) are introduced; - solid insulated high-voltage parts are no longer considered as compartments on their own; - an optional rating 'cable test voltage' and the associated requirements and type tests are introduced; - for testing the internal arc classification, when assigned by the manufacturer, more specific guidance is provided regarding the test arrangement, room simulation and arc initiation; - a single phase to earth ignition is also recognised for internal arc testing; - the Annexes A and B are renumbered Annexes AA and BB. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62271-1:2007.

Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 200: Appareillage sous enveloppe métallique pour courant alternatif de tensions assignées supérieures à 1 kV et inférieures ou égales à 52 kV

La CEI 62271:2011 spécifie les exigences pour l'appareillage préfabriqué sous enveloppe métallique pour courant alternatif, prévu pour être installé à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, 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. Les enveloppes peuvent contenir des composants fixes et amovibles et peuvent être remplies de fluide (liquide ou gaz) pour assurer l'isolation. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2003. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette deuxième édition de la CEI 62271-200 a été mise à jour de manière plus approfondie et améliorée sur la base de l'expérience acquise avec la première édition de la CEI 62271-200. En termes de maintenance, cette deuxième édition de la CEI 62271-200 introduit les modifications majeures suivantes: - les définitions, classifications et méthodes d'essai sont spécifiées de manière plus précise; - les catégories LSC2A et LSC2B ont été explicitées et LSC2 a été déterminée selon une définition séparée; - des caractéristiques assignées spécifiques relatives au niveau de défaut à la terre (4.5 à 4.7) ont été introduites; - les parties à haute tension à isolation solide ne sont plus considérées comme des compartiments proprement dits; - une caractéristique assignée facultative 'tension d'essai des câbles' avec ses exigences et essais de type associés a été introduite; - s'agissant des essais de classification d'arc interne, lorsque celle-ci est assignée par le constructeur, des recommandations plus spécifiques sont fournies en matière de disposition d'essai, de simulation de local et d'amorçage d'arc; - un amorçage en monophasé phase-terre est également reconnu pour les essais d'arc interne; - les Annexes A et B ont été renumérotées Annexes AA et BB. Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 62271-1:2007.

EN 62271-200:2004. As maintenance result, EN 62271-200:2012 introduces the following significant
changes:
 definitions, classifications and testing procedures are specified more precisely;
 categories LSC2A and LSC2B have been clarified and LSC2 has been assigned a separate definition;
 specific ratings related to fault level to earth (4.5 to 4.7) are introduced;
 solid insulated high-voltage parts are no longer considered as compartments on their own;
 an optional rating "cable test voltage" and the associated requirements and type tests are introduced;
 for testing the internal arc classification, when assigned by the manufacturer, more specific guidance is
provided regarding the test arrangement, room simulation and arc initiation;
 a single phase to earth ignition is also recognised for internal arc testing;
 the Annexes A and B are renumbered Annexes AA and BB.
The level of severity of internal arc testing is maintained without changes.
This European Standard should be read in conjunction with EN 62271-1:2008, to which it refers and
which is applicable unless otherwise specified. In order to simplify the indication of corresponding
requirements, the same numbering of clauses and subclauses is used as in EN 62271-1. Amendments to
these clauses and subclauses are given under the same numbering, whilst additional subclauses, are
