High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 214: Internal arc classification for AC metal-enclosed pole-mounted switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV

IEC 62271-214:2024 specifies requirements for internal arc classification of AC metal-enclosed pole-mounted switchgear and controlgear with rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV with service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. This document is applicable to three-phase, two-phase and single-phase open terminal equipment for which an internal arc classification is assigned. 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 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) indicators positioning update;
b) neutral earthing connection of the test circuit for three-phase tests;
c) general review for consistency with IEC 62271-200, Ed.3.0:2021.

Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 214 : Classification arc interne des appareillages sous enveloppe métallique à courant alternatif de tensions assignées supérieures à 1 kV et inférieures ou égales à 52 kV montées sur poteau

L'IEC 62271-214:2024 spécifie les exigences relatives à la classification arc interne des appareillages sous enveloppe métallique à courant alternatif montés sur poteau, de tensions assignées supérieures à 1 kV et inférieures ou égales à 52 kV, et de fréquences de service inférieures ou égales à 60 Hz. Le présent document s'applique aux équipements à bornes ouvertes triphasés, biphasés et monophasés auxquels une classification arc interne est attribuée. Les enveloppes peuvent comprendre des composants fixes et amovibles et peuvent être remplies de fluide (liquide ou gaz) pour l'isolation. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2019. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) mise à jour du positionnement des indicateurs;
b) connexion de mise à la terre du neutre du circuit d'essai pour les essais triphasés;
c) révision générale à des fins de cohérence avec l'IEC 62271-200 Éd.3.0:2021.

Part 214: Internal arc classification for AC metal-enclosed
pole-mounted switchgear and controlgear 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
