Insulation co-ordination - Part 5: Procedures for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations

IEC 60071-5:2014 provides guidance on the procedures for insulation co-ordination of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations, without prescribing standardized insulation levels. This standard applies only for HVDC applications in high-voltage a.c. power systems and not for industrial conversion equipment. Principles and guidance given are for insulation co-ordination purposes only. The requirements for human safety are not covered by this standard. This International Standard cancels and replaces IEC TS 60071-5 published in 2002. On the basis of technical experience gained since the Technical Specification was published, sufficient consensus has emerged for transformation of the Technical Specification into an International Standard. The technical content is essentially the same as that contained in the Technical Specification with amendments mainly for user convenience. The structure of the document has been changed to allow division and subdivision into complete integral parts to facilitate comprehension and ease of referencing. In addition to the high level revisions above, the following main technical changes have been made with respect to the previous edition:
- arresters have been added to several locations to reflect some recent 800 kV HVDC scheme practice, along with their justifications, expected voltages, overvoltages and arrester stresses in service;
- significant changes have been made in Clause 8 - all subclauses on the characteristics, schemes, stresses and specification of arresters have been consolidated into a single entity, Clause 8;
- the implications of a smoothing reactor and of a neutral blocking filter located on the neutral bus (as on some recent 800 kV schemes), on coordination of arresters connected to the neutral end have been added;
- possible use of sacrificial arresters on the neutral bus is introduced to cater for excessive arrester energy in the rather unlikely event of a particular rare fault;
- all subclauses dealing with study tools and modelling details have been consolidated into Clause 10;
- creepage distances and clearances have been consolidated into Clauses 11 and 12, respectively, with more details added.

Coordination de l'isolement - Partie 5: Procédures pour les stations de conversion à courant continu haute tension (CCHT)

L'IEC 60071-5:2014 donne des lignes directrices sur les procédures pour la coordination de l'isolement des stations de conversion à courant continu haute tension (CCHT), sans imposer de niveaux d'isolement normalisés. La présente norme s'applique seulement aux applications CCHT dans des systèmes de puissance alternative à haute tension et pas aux matériels de conversion industriels. Les principes et les lignes directrices donnés sont destinés aux seules fins de la coordination de l'isolement. Les exigences concernant la sécurité des personnes ne sont pas couvertes par la présente norme. La présente Norme internationale annule et remplace l'IEC TS 60071-5 parue en 2002. Suite à l'expérience technique acquise depuis la parution de la spécification technique, un consensus suffisant a émergé concernant la transformation de la Spécification technique en Norme internationale. Le contenu technique est essentiellement le même que celui de la Spécification technique avec des amendements principalement apportés pour la commodité de l'utilisateur. La structure du document a été modifiée pour permettre la division et la subdivision en des parties intégrantes complètes pour faciliter la compréhension et le référencement. Outre les révisions de haut niveau ci-dessus, les modifications techniques majeures suivantes ont été apportées par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- des parafoudres ont été ajoutés à plusieurs emplacements pour refléter une certaine pratique récente du schéma CCHT (courant continu à haute tension) de 800 kV, accompagnés de leur justification, des tensions attendues, des surtensions et des contraintes relatives aux parafoudres en service;
- des modifications majeures ont été apportées à l'Article 8 - tous les paragraphes relatifs aux caractéristiques, aux schémas, aux contraintes et aux spécifications des parafoudres ont été consolidés en une seule entité, l'Article 8;
- les implications d'une bobine d'inductance de lissage et d'un filtre de blocage neutre placé sur une barre de neutre (comme dans certains schémas récents de 800 kV), sur la coordination des parafoudres raccordés à l'extrémité neutre ont été ajoutées;
- l'utilisation possible de parafoudres sacrificiels sur la barre de neutre est introduite pour pourvoir à une énergie excessive des parafoudres dans l'éventualité plutôt peu probable d'un défaut rare particulier;
- tous les paragraphes traitant d'outils d'étude et de détails de modélisation ont été consolidés à l'Article 10;
- les lignes de fuite et les distances d'isolement dans l'air ont été respectivement consolidées à l'Article 11 et à l'Article 12, avec plus de détails ajoutés.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
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. The 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 the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
3)
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
4)
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In excep-
tional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
report of one of the following types:
cannot be obtained for the publication of an Inter-
• type 1, when the required suppo rt
national Standard, despite repeated efforts;
• type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other
reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an Inter-
national Standard;
type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that

which is normally published as an International Standard, for example "state of the art".
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to
decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical reports of
type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered
to be no longer valid or useful.
IEC 1241-2-2 which is a technical report of type 2, has been prepared by sub-committee 31H:
Apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust, of IEC technical committee 31:
Electrical apparatus for explosive atmospheres.

1241-2-2 - 9 -
40 I EC:1993
INTRODUCTION
This technical repo rt is applicable to the determination of the electrical resistivity of dust in
layers.
The test method is not suitable for use with recognized explosives, gunpowder, dynamite,
or substances or mixtures of substances which may, under some circumstances, behave
in a similar manner. Where any doubt exists about the existence of a hazard due to
explosive properties, an indication may be obtained by placing a very small quantity of
the dust in question on the heated surface of the apparatus prescribed in IEC 1241-2-1*,
heated to 400 °C.
The test for explosivity will not always reveal the explosive nature of a dust so that a "fail
to danger* situation could arise.
NOTE - Precautions should be taken to safeguard the health of personnel conducting the tests against the
risk of fire, explosion and/or the effects, including toxic effects, of combustion.
This test method is applicable to the construction and application of electrical apparatus
for use in the presence of combustible dust.

4 Test apparatus
Figures 1 and 2 give details for the construction of the test apparatus. The test cell (see
figure 1) is of open construction, and consists of two stainless steel bars with nominal
dimensions: length (W) - 100 mm, height (H) - 10 mm, breadth (B) - 20 mm to 40 mm.
These bars are placed at a nominal distance apart of (L) - 10 mm on a base with a thick-
ness between 5 mm and 10 mm.
NOTE - Glass or polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) have been found to be suitable materials for the base.
Two glass bars, also with a nominal height of 10 mm, are placed across the ends of the
electrodes to keep the dust layer in place.
Figure 2 illustrates an example of a suitable electrical circuit for making the resistivity
measurement. It contains a 10 kf2 resistor to restrict the breakdown current to a maximum
value of 0,2 A at a maximum supply voltage of 2 000 V d.c. Other circuits with comparable
characteristics and accuracy may be used.
The current-to-voltage converter has six ranges to deal with the various values of supply
voltage and dust resistivity. A voltage inverter is present to provide a positive output.
All resistors are 5 %, 0,5 W high-stability carbon-film type.
5 Test sample
The test sample shall be homogeneous and representative of the dust received for testing.
When dust is received, it should be put in a closed vessel until tested, or it should be
conditioned, or it should be tested directly, and the moistu
