HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
Part 110: Inductive load switching
FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 62271-110 has been prepared by subcommittee 17A: Switching devices, of IEC technical

committee 17: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear. It is an International Standard.

This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2017. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

edition:

a) references to IEC 62271-100 and IEC 62271-106 have been updated to the latest editions.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
Part 110: Inductive load switching
1 Scope

This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to AC switching devices designed for indoor or outdoor

installation, for operation at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on systems having voltages above

1  000 V and applied for inductive current switching. It is applicable to switching devices

(including circuit-breakers in accordance with IEC 62271-100) that are used to switch

high-voltage motor currents and shunt reactor currents and also to high-voltage contactors used

to switch high-voltage motor currents as covered by IEC 62271-106.

Switching unloaded transformers, i.e. breaking transformer magnetizing current, is not

considered in this document. The reasons for this are as follows:

a) Owing to the non-linearity of the transformer core, it is not possible to correctly model the

switching of transformer magnetizing current using linear components in a test laboratory.

Tests conducted using an available transformer, such as a test transformer, will only be

valid for the transformer tested and cannot be representative for other transformers.

b) As detailed in IEC TR 62271-306, the characteristics of this duty are usually less severe

than any other inductive current switching duty. Such a duty can produce severe

overvoltages within the transformer winding(s) depending on the re-ignition behaviour of the

switching device and transformer winding resonance frequencies.

NOTE 1 The switching of tertiary reactors from the high-voltage side of the transformer is not covered by this

document.

NOTE 2 The switching of shunt reactors earthed through neutral reactors is not covered by this document. However,

the application of test results according to this document, on the switching of neutral reactor earthed reactors (4-leg

reactor scheme), is discussed in IEC TR 62271-306.

4 Type tests
4.1 General

Circuit-breakers according to IEC 62271-100 and contactors according to IEC 62271-106 do

not have dedicated inductive load switching ratings. However, switching devices applied for this

purpose shall meet the requirements of this document.

For shunt reactor switching test of circuit-breakers, the rated insulation level values stated in

Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 of IEC 62271-1:2017 are applicable with the exception of combined voltage

tests across the isolating distance (columns (6) and (8) in Table 3 and column (5) in Table 4 of

IEC 62271-1:2017).

The type tests are in addition to those specified in the relevant product standard, with the

exception of short-line faults, out-of-phase switching and capacitive current switching.

NOTE 1 The reason for this exception is the source-less nature of the shunt reactor load circuit.

NOTE 2 In some cases (high chopping overvoltage levels, or where a neutral reactor is present or in cases of shunt

reactors with isolated neutral), an appropriate insulation level that is higher than the rated values stated above can

be necessary.

Inductive load switching tests performed for a given current level and type of application can

be considered valid for another current rating and same type of application as detailed below:

a) for shunt reactor switching at rated voltages of 52 kV and above, tests at a particular current

level shall be considered valid for applications with a higher current level up to 150  % of the

tested current value;

b) for shunt reactor switching at rated voltages below 52 kV, type testing is required;

c) for high-voltage motor switching, type testing for stalled motor currents at 100 A and 300 A

is considered to cover stalled motor currents in the range 100 A to 300 A and up to the

current associated with the short-circuit current of test-duty T10 according to 7.107.2 of

IEC 62271-100:2021 for circuit-breakers and up to the rated operational current for

contactors.

With respect to a) the purpose of type testing is also to determine a re-ignition-free arcing time

window for controlled switching purposes (see IEC TR 62271-302) and caution should be

exercised when considering applications at higher currents than the tested values since the re-

ignition-free arcing window can increase at higher current.

Annex B of IEC 62271-100:2021 can be used with respect to tolerances on test quantities.

4.2 Miscellaneous provisions for inductive load switching tests
Subclause 7.102 of IEC 62271-100:2021 is applicable with the following addition:

High-voltage motor current and shunt reactor switching tests shall be performed at rated

auxiliary and control voltage or, where necessary, at maximum auxiliary and control voltage to

facilitate consistent control of the opening and closing operation according to 7.102.3.1 of

IEC 62271-100:2021.

For gas filled switching devices (including vacuum switching devices using gaseous media for

insulation), tests shall be performed at the rated functional pressure for interruption and

insulation, except for test-duty 4, where the pressure shall be the minimum functional pressure

for interruption and insulation.

4.3 High-voltage motor current switching tests
4.3.1 Applicability

Subclause 4.3 is applicable to three-phase alternating current switching devices having rated

voltages above 1 kV and up to 17,5 kV, which are used for switching high-voltage motors. Tests

can be carried out at 50 Hz with a relative tolerance of ±10 % or 60 Hz with a relative tolerance

of ±10 %, both frequencies being considered equivalent.

Motor switching tests are applicable to all three-pole switching devices having rated voltages

equal to or less than 17,5 kV, which can be used for the switching of three-phase asynchronous

squirrel-cage or slip-ring motors. The switching device can be of a higher rated voltage than

the motor when connected to the motor through a stepdown transformer. However, the usual

application is a direct cable connection between switching device and motor. When tests are

required, they shall be made in accordance with 4.3.2 to 4.3.9.

When overvoltage limitation devices are mandatory for the tested equipment, the voltage

limiting devices can be included in the test circuit provided that the devices are an intrinsic part

of the equipment under test.

No limits to the overvoltages are given as the overvoltages are only relevant to the specific

application. Overvoltages between phases can be as significant as phase-to-earth overvoltages.

4.3.2 General

The switching tests can be either field tests or laboratory tests. As regards overvoltages, the

switching of the current of a starting or stalled motor is usually the more severe operation.

Due to the non-linear behaviour of the motor iron core, it is not possible to exactly model the

switching of motor current using linear components in a test station. Tests using linear

components to simulate the motors can be considered to be more conservative than switching

actual motors.

For laboratory tests a standardized circuit simulating the stalled condition of a motor is specified

(refer to Figure 1). The parameters of this test circuit have been chosen to represent a relatively

severe case with respect to overvoltages and will cover the majority of service applications.

The laboratory tests are performed to prove the ability of a switching device to switch motors

and to establish its behaviour with respect to switching overvoltages, re-ignitions and current

chopping. These characteristics can serve as a basis for estimates of the switching device’s

performance in other motor circuits. Tests performed with the test currents defined in 4.3.3 and

4.3.4 demonstrate the capabi

66 HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
68 Part 110: Inductive load switching
70 FOREWORD

71 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

72 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote interna tional

73 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

74 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

75 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

76 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

77 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

78 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

79 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement betw een the two organizations.

80 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

81 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

82 interested IEC National Committees.

83 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

84 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

85 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

86 misinterpretation by any end user.

87 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

88 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

89 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

90 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

91 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

92 services carried out by independent certification bodies.

93 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

94 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

95 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal i njury, property damage or

96 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

97 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

98 Publications.

99 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

100 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

101 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

102 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

103 International Standard IEC 62271-110 has been prepared by subcommittee 17A: Switching

104 devices, of IEC technical committee 17: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear.

127 Part 110: Inductive load switching
128
129
130
131 1 Scope

132 This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to AC switching devices designed for indoor or outdoor

133 installation, for operation at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on systems having voltages above

134 1 000 V and applied for inductive current switching. It is applicable to switching devices

135 (including circuit-breakers in accordance with IEC 62271-100) that are used to switch

136 high-voltage motor currents and shunt reactor currents and also to high-voltage contactors used

137 to switch high-voltage motor currents as covered by IEC 62271-106.

138 Switching unloaded transformers, i.e. breaking transformer magnetizing current, is not

139 considered in this document. The reasons for this are as follows:

140 a) Owing to the non-linearity of the transformer core, it is not possible to correctly model t he

141 switching of transformer magnetizing current using linear components in a test laboratory.

142 Tests conducted using an available transformer, such as a test transformer, will only be

143 valid for the transformer tested and cannot be representative for other transformers.

144 b) As detailed in IEC TR 62271-306, the characteristics of this duty are usually less severe

145 than any other inductive current switching duty. Such a duty may produce severe

146 overvoltages within the transformer winding(s) depending on the re-ignition behaviour of the

147 switching device and transformer winding resonance frequencies.

148 NOTE 1 The switching of tertiary reactors from the high-voltage side of the transformer is not covered by this

149 document.

150 NOTE 2 The switching of shunt reactors earthed through neutral reactors is not covered by this document. However,

151 the application of test results according to this document, on the switching of neutral reactor earthed reactors (4-leg

152 reactor scheme), is discussed in IEC TR 62271-306.

209 4 Type tests
210 4.1 General

211 Circuit-breakers according to IEC 62271-100 and contactors according to IEC 62271-106 do

212 not have dedicated inductive switching ratings. However, switching devices applied for this

213 purpose shall meet the requirements of this document.

214 For shunt reactor switching test of circuit-breakers, the rated insulation level values stated in

215 Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 of IEC 62271-1:2017 are applicable with the exception of combined voltage

216 tests across the isolating distance (columns (6) and (8) in Table 3 and column (5) in Table 4).

217 The type tests are in addition to those specified in the relevant product standard, with the

218 exception of short-line faults, out-of-phase switching and capacitive current switching.

219 NOTE 1 The reason for this exception is the source-less nature of the shunt reactor load circuit.

220 NOTE 2 In some cases (high chopping overvoltage levels, or where a neutral reactor is present or in cases of shunt

221 reactors with isolated neutral), it can be necessary to specify an appropriate insulation level which is higher than the

222 rated values stated above.

223 Inductive current switching tests performed for a given current level and type of application may

224 be considered valid for another current rating and same type of application as detailed below:

225 a) for shunt reactor switching at rated voltages of 52 kV and above, tests at a particular current

226 level are to be considered valid for applications with a higher current level up to 150 % of

227 the tested current value;

228 b) for shunt reactor switching at rated voltages below 52 kV, type testing is required;

229 c) for high-voltage motor switching, type testing for stalled motor currents at 100 A and 300 A

230 is considered to cover stalled motor currents in the range 100 A to 300 A and up to the

231 current associated with the short-circuit current of test-duty T10 according to 7.107.2 of

232 IEC 62271-100:2021 for circuit-breakers and up to the rated operational current for

233 contactors.

234 With respect to a) the purpose of type testing is also to determine a re-ignition-free arcing time

235 window for controlled switching purposes (refer to IEC TR 62271-302) and caution should be

236 exercised when considering applications at higher currents than the tested values since the re-

237 ignition-free arcing window can increase at higher current.

238 Annex B of IEC 62271-100:2021 can be used with respect to tolerances on test quantities.

239 4.2 Miscellaneous provisions for inductive load switching tests

240 Subclause 7.102 of IEC 62271-100:2021 is applicable with the following addition:

241 High-voltage motor current and shunt reactor switching tests shall be performed at rated

242 auxiliary and control voltage or, where necessary, at maximum auxiliary and control voltage to

243 facilitate consistent control of the opening and closing operation according to 7.102.3.1 of

244 IEC 62271-100:2021.

245 For gas filled switching devices (including vacuum switching devices using gaseous media for

246 insulation), tests shall be performed at the rated functional pressure for interruption and

247 insulation, except for test-duty 4, where the pressure shall be the minimum functional pressure

248 for interruption and insulation.

249 4.3 High-voltage motor current switching tests
250 4.3.1 Applicability

251 Subclause 4.3 is applicable to three-phase alternating current switching devices having rated

252 voltages above 1 kV and up to 17,5 kV, which are used for switching high-voltage motors. Tests

253 may be carried out at 50 Hz with a relative tolerance of 10 % or 60 Hz with a relative tolerance

254 of 10 %, both frequencies being considered equivalent.

255 Motor switching tests are applicable to all three-pole switching devices having rated voltages

256 equal to or less than 17,5 kV, which may be used for the switching of three-phase asynchronous

257 squirrel-cage or slip-ring motors. The switching device may be of a higher rated voltage than

258 the motor when connected to the motor through a stepdown transformer. However, the usual

259 application is a direct cable connection between switching device and motor. When tests are

260 required, they shall be made in accordance with 4.3.2 to 4.3.9.

261 When overvoltage limitation devices are mandatory for the tested equipment, the voltage

262 limiting devices may be included in the test circuit provided that the devices are an intrinsic part

263 of the equipment under test.

264 No limits to the overvoltages are given as the overvoltages are only relevant to the specific

265 application. Overvoltages between phases may be as significant as phase-to-earth

266 overvoltages.
267 4.3.2 General

268 The switching tests can be either field tests or laboratory tests. As regards overvoltages, the

269 switching of the current of a starting or stalled motor is usually the more severe operation.

270 Due to the non-linear behaviour of the motor iron core, it is not possible to exactly model the

271 switching of motor current using linear components in a test station. Tests using linear

272 components to simulate the motors can be considered to be more conservative than switching

273 actual motors.

274 For laboratory tests a standardized circuit simulating the stalled condition of a motor is specified

275 (refer to Figure 1). The parameters of this test circuit have been chosen to represent a relatively

276 severe case with respect to overvoltages and will cover the majority of service applications.

277 The laboratory tests are performed to prove the ability of a switching device to switch motors

278 and to establish its behaviour with respect to switching overvoltages , re-ignitions and current

279 chopping. These characteristics may serve as a basis for estimates of the switching device’s

280 performance in other motor circuits. Tests performed with the test currents defined in 4.3.3 and

281 4.3.4 demonstrate the capability of the switching device to switch high-voltage motors up to its

282 rated interrupting current.

283 For field tests, actual circuits are used with a supply system on the source side and a cable and

284 motor on the load side. There may be a transformer between the switching device and motor.

285 However, the results of such field tests are only valid for switching devices working in circuits

286 similar to those during the tests.

287 The apparatus under test includes the switching device with overvoltage protection devices if

288 they are normally fitted.

289 NOTE 1 Overvoltages can be produced when switching running motors. This condition is not represented by the

290 substitute circuit and is generally considered to be less severe than the stalled motor case.

291 NOTE 2 The starting period switching of a slip-ring motor is generally less severe due to the effect of the starting

292 resistor.

297 4.3.3.1 General

298 A three-phase supply circuit shall be used. The tests shall be performed using two different

299 supply circuits A and B as specified in 4.3.3.2 and 4.3.3.3, respectively. Supply circuit A

300 represents the case of a motor connected directly to a transformer. Supply circuit B represents

301 the case where parallel cables are applied on the supply side.
302 4.3.3.2 Supply circuit A

303 The three-phase supply may be earthed through a high ohmic impedance so that the supply

304 voltage is defined with respect to earth. The impedance value shall be high enough to limit a

305 prospective line-to-earth fault current to a value below the test current.
