HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
Part 210: Seismic qualification for metal enclosed and
solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear assemblies
for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV
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.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.IEC 62271-210, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by subcommittee 17C:
High-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, of IEC technical committee 17:
Switchgear and controlgear.---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60068-3-3,
IEC 62271-1, IEC 62271-200, IEC 62271-201 and ISO 2041 apply.4 Seismic qualification requirements
4.1 General
The seismic qualification shall demonstrate the ability of the switchgear and controlgear
assemblies to withstand seismic stresses.Basis of seismic qualification is the test, because only that allows a verification of functionality
of the equipment during and after the seismic events. The test is also a necessary input for
setup of numerical model used for analysis.A combination of test and analysis is needed because not each type of switchgear
arrangement can be tested.
4.2 Preliminary analysis
4.2.1 Selection of the representative test sample
Due to practical reasons concerned with the available experimental facilities, the seismic
qualification of switchgear and controlgear assemblies requires the choice of proper test
samples which reasonably represent the whole system for the purpose of structural and
functional checks.Such test samples shall include the switching devices with their relevant operating mechanism
and control equipment, and their electrical and mechanical interfaces.These test samples shall demonstrate the worst cases, such as those with heaviest mass and
highest centre of gravity. In case of functional units with different masses, the heaviest panel
shall be placed at one end of the test arrangement. Simulation can be used to determine the
test sample, which satisfies the above criteria.4.2.2 Mathematical model of the test sample
If qualification by combined test and numerical analysis, according to Clause 6, is foreseen, a
three-dimensional mathematical model of the test sample shall be created on the basis of
technical information concerning the design characteristics.Such a model shall take into consideration the presence of switching and control devices,
compartments and of their supporting structures, and shall have sufficient sensitivity to
describe the dynamic behaviour of the test sample in the frequency range being studied.
The validity of the model shall be established by comparison between simulation results and
actual tests results, as stated in 7.3.---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

4.3 Severities
4.3.1 General
In earthquake zone 4 (risk of very strong earthquakes) the measured peak ground
acceleration in many cases is approximately 0,5 g. In a few cases the measured peak ground
acceleration is around 1 g (see also Annex D).Due to the wide range of ground motions, site conditions, switchgear installations in buildings,
two severity levels are defined for seismic qualification in order to avoid designing or testing
always to the highest levels.The shape of the Required Response Spectra (RRS) (severity levels 1 and 2) is a broadband
response spectrum to cover many site conditions (magnitude, depth and distance to epicentre,
rock or soft soil) and super elevation due to the floor level installation.For qualification, one of the following severity levels shall be chosen:
The severity level 1 is recommended for peak ground / floor accelerations up to 0,5 g.
The severity level 2 is recommended for peak ground / floor accelerations up to 1,0 g.
The Required Response Spectra are given in Figures 1 and 2 for the different seismic
qualification levels. The curves relate to 2 %, 5 % and 10 % damping ratio of the switchgear
and controlgear assemblies. For testing and if the exact damping behaviour is unknown 5 %
damping ratio is recommended.Severity Level 1 is recommended for equipments mounted at the ground level for zones 0 to 4
or at upper floor levels combined with earthquake zones 0 to 3 (see Annex D). For Zone 0, it
is not necessary to perform any seismic qualification.Severity Level 2 is only recommended for equipments mounted at upper floor levels combined
with earthquake zone 4 (see Annex D).If site-specific conditions are known the user may develop a site-specific response spectrum
which envelops the shape of the severity level 1 and/or severity level 2.NOTE The severity level 1 is equivalent to the moderate performance level according to IEEE 693:2005.
The severity level 2 is equivalent to the high performance level according to IEEE 693:2005.
4.3.2 Severity level 1The RRS is described by the following equations:
Horizontal spectral accelerations S (m/s²) for frequencies f (Hz):
• S = 1,144 × β × f × g for 0,0 ≤ f ≤ 1,1
• S = 1,250 × β × g for 1,1 ≤ f ≤ 8,0
• S = 2 × ((6,62 × β – 2,64) / f – 0,2 × β + 0,33)) × g for 8,0 ≤ f ≤ 33
• S = 0,5 × g for f ≥ 33
β = (3,21 – 0,68 ln (d)) / 2,115 6, where d is the percent damping (2, 5, 10 etc.) and d ≤ 20 %.
g = 10 m/sFor qualification the RRS is limited to a frequency range starting at 1,0 Hz (see 5.3.2).
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------TS 62271-210 © IEC:2013 – 9 –
For vertical spectral accelerations the conversion factor is 0,8.
NOTE The conversion factor is 0,8 in order to harmonize the values settle by IEEE and IEC standards.

• S = 2,5 × β × g for 1,1 ≤ f ≤ 8,0

4.4 Acceptance classes
Two acceptance classes for equipment are defined:
For class 1, the equipment has to maintain its functionality during and after the earthquake.
After the seismic event maintenance and partial replacement might be necessary to ensure
long term operation.For class 2, the equipment has to maintain its functionality during and after the earthquake.
After the seismic event no maintenance is required.5 Qualification by test
5.1 General
The test procedure shall be in accordance with IEC 60068-3-3 with the modification that the
time history test method in accordance with IEC 60068-2-57 shall be applied. The time history
test method more closely simulates actual conditions, because the behaviour of the test
sample is always not linear.The seismic test should demonstrate the ability of the switchgear and controlgear assemblies
to perform its required functions during and after seismic loads in form of Test Response
Spectrum (TRS) that envelopes the RRS. The demonstration shall be performed as it is
settled in 5.4.1 and 5.4.3.If a test sample cannot be tested with its supporting structure (e.g., due to its size), the
dynamic contribution of the structure shall be determined by analysis and accounted for in the
test.5.2 Mounting
The test sample shall be mounted as in service condition including dampers (if any).
