ELECTRICAL HIGH-VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT

COMMON RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCT STANDARDS
FOREWORD
This second edition of IEC Guide 111 has been prepared in accordance with Annex A of Part 1
of the ISO/IEC Directives by an ad hoc group of the Standardization Management Board set up
to harmonize characteristics for substation standards.
It constitutes a technical revision of the first edition, published in 1998. This edition has been
amended to express more clearly the guidance being provided to product committees and
contains corrected and completed technical material and references.
The text of this guide is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This Guide is for use by technical committees (TCs) involved in high-voltage (HV) substation
systems, such as:
TC 13, TC 14, TC 17, TC 20, TC 22, TC 28, TC 32, TC 33, TC 36, TC 37, TC 38, TC 57,
TC 95, TC 99.
It is of paramount importance that the IEC, through this Guide, finds a way to overcome the
lack of consistency and unnecessary discrepancies between standards within one system,
even though a few discrepancies might be justified in certain cases according to the specificity
of a given product or situation.
Furthermore, the cost of over-standardization of one component when the nearest linked
component is under-standardized should be considered. The supplementary cost does not in
any way increase the reliability of the system as a whole.
Since the same external stresses (climatic, electrical, mechanical) apply to all the components
of the substations, the consistency of their technical features is vital.
Hence, standards will deal more and more with the same essential requirements for safety,
environmental impact, end of life, availability and integration of systems. All product standards
for a single system have to fulfil these requirements with the same degree of responsibility.
The aim of this Guide is to provide common rules for HV substation equipment.

ELECTRICAL HIGH-VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT
IN HIGH-VOLTAGE SUBSTATIONS –
COMMON RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCT STANDARDS
1 Scope
IEC Guide 111 is a horizontal publication which gives guidance for the harmonization of
product and system standards within substations where the highest voltage for equipment is
higher than 1 kV. It primarily addresses conventional a.c. equipment which is found in high-
voltage (HV) substations in most cases.
This Guide contains recommendations for common specifications for all HV substation product
standards, each of which is augmented by the technical background specific to each TC, which
naturally retains freedom in its technical choices.
Where HV power electronic equipment is part of an HV substation, for example, HVDC or SVC,
economics and technology dictate a deviation from common clauses as standardized for a.c.
equipment. However, when developing product standards for HV power electronic equipment
for use in HV substations, the common recommendations of this Guide should be adopted as
far as possible.
Clearly, any specification in this guide which is inapplicable to a certain type of product,
because of that product's inherent characteristics, for example, should not be taken into
account when writing standards for that type of product.
