Insulation co-ordination - Part 1: Definitions, principles and rules

IEC 60071-1:2006 applies to three-phase a.c. systems having a highest voltage for equipment above 1 kV. It specifies the procedure for the selection of the rated withstand voltages for the phase-to-earth, phase-to-phase and longitudinal insulation of the equipment and the installations of these systems. It also gives the lists of the standard withstand voltages from which the rated withstand voltages should be selected. This standard recommends that the selected withstand voltages should be associated with the highest voltage for equipment. This association is for insulation co-ordination purposes only. The requirements for human safety are not covered by this standard. Although the principles of this standard also apply to transmission line insulation, the values of their withstand voltages may be different from the standard rated withstand voltages. The apparatus committees are responsible for specifying the rated withstand voltages and the test procedures suitable for the relevant equipment taking into consideration the recommendations of this standard. NOTE: In IEC 60071-2, Application Guide, all rules for insulation co ordination given in this standard are justified in detail, in particular the association of the standard rated withstand voltages with the highest voltage for equipment. When more than one set of standard rated withstand voltages is associated with the same highest voltage for equipment, guidance is provided for the selection of the most suitable set. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows:  - in the definitions (3.26, 3.28 and 3.29) and in the environmental conditions (5.9) taken into account clarification of the atmospheric and altitude corrections involved in the insulation co-ordination process;  - in the list of standard rated short-duration power frequency withstand voltages reported in 5.6 addition of 115 kV;  - in the list of standard rated impulse withstand voltages reported in 5.7, addition of 200 kV and 380 kV; - in the standard insulation levels for range I (1kV < Um   245 kV) (Table 2) addition of the highest voltage for equipment Um = 100 kV; - in the standard insulation levels for range II (Um   245 kV) (Table 3) replacement of 525 kV by 550 kV and of 765 kV by 800 kV; - in order to remove that part in the next revision of IEC 60071-2, addition of Annex A dealing with clearances in air to assure a specified impulse withstand voltage in installation; - in Annex B, limitation at two Um values for the values of rated insulation levels for 1kV < Um 245 kV for highest voltages for equipment Um not standardized by IEC based on current practice in some countries.
It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

Coordination de l'isolement - Partie 1: Définitions, principes et règles

La CEI 60071-1 s'applique aux réseaux à tension alternative triphasée dont la tension la plus élevée pour le matériel est supérieure à 1 kV. Elle spécifie la procédure pour le choix des tensions de tenue assignées normalisées pour l'isolation phase-terre, l'isolation entre phases et l'isolation longitudinale du matériel et des installations de ces réseaux. Elle donne également les listes des valeurs normalisées parmi lesquelles il convient de choisir les tensions de tenue assignées normalisées. Cette norme recommande que les tensions de tenue choisies soient associées aux tensions les plus élevées pour le matériel. Cette association est destinée aux seules fins de la coordination de l'isolement. Les exigences concernant la sécurité des personnes ne sont pas couvertes par cette norme. Bien que les principes de cette norme s'appliquent également à l'isolation des lignes de transport d'énergie, les valeurs des tensions de tenue peuvent être différentes des tensions de tenue assignées normalisées. Il appartient aux comités de produits de spécifier les tensions de tenue et les procédures d'essai appropriées aux matériels correspondants, en prenant les recommandations de cette norme en considération. NOTE: Toutes les règles pour la coordination de l'isolement données dans cette norme sont justifiées en détail dans la CEI 60071-2, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'association des tensions de tenue assignées normalisées avec les tensions les plus élevées pour le matériel. Lorsque plusieurs séries de tensions de tenue assignées normalisées sont associées à la même valeur de la tension la plus élevée pour le matériel, une ligne directrice est donnée pour le choix de la série la plus appropriée. Les principaux changements par rapport à l'édition précédente sont ceux qui suivent: - dans les définitions (3.26, 3.28 et 3.29) et dans les conditions environnementales (5.9) prises en compte, clarification des corrections atmosphérique et d'altitude impliquées dans le processus de coordination de l'isolement; - dans la liste des tensions de tenue assignées normalisées de courte durée à fréquence industrielle mentionnées en 5.6, introduction de 115 kV; - dans la liste des tensions de tenue assignées normalisées aux chocs indiquées en 5.7, introduction de 200 kV et 380 kV; dans les niveaux de tenue normalisés pour la gamme I (1kV < Um   245 kV) (Tableau 2), introduction de la tension la plus élevée pour le matériel Um = 100 kV; - dans les niveaux de tenue normalisés pour la gamme II (Um   245 kV) (Tableau 3) remplacement de 525 kV par 550 kV et de 765 kV par 800 kV; - afin de supprimer cette partie dans la révision prochaine de la CEI 60071-2, introduction de l'Annexe A relative aux distances dans l'air pour installation avec tension de tenue aux chocs spécifiée; - dans l'Annexe B, limitation à deux valeurs de Um pour les valeurs de niveaux d'isolement assignés pour 1 kV < Um   245 kV pour des tensions les plus élevées pour le matériel Um non normalisées par la CEI, fondées sur la pratique existant dans certains pays.
Elle a le statut d'une norme horizontale conformément au Guide 108 de la CEI.

Overview

IEC 60071-1 - Insulation co‑ordination: Part 1: Definitions, principles and rules is the international standard that defines the principles and rules for selecting rated withstand voltages in three‑phase a.c. systems with equipment highest voltage above 1 kV. The standard specifies how to associate standard rated withstand voltages with the highest voltage for equipment (Um) for insulation co‑ordination purposes. It is a horizontal IEC standard (IEC Guide 108) and complements IEC 60071-2 (Application Guide), which provides detailed justification and selection guidance.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Applies to three‑phase a.c. systems with Um > 1 kV; does not cover human safety requirements.
  • Voltage selection procedure: Procedure for selecting rated withstand voltages for:
    • Phase‑to‑earth insulation
    • Phase‑to‑phase insulation
    • Longitudinal insulation of equipment and installations
  • Standard rated withstand voltages: Lists of standard short‑duration power‑frequency and impulse withstand voltages from which the rated values should be selected; recent editions added specific values (e.g., 115 kV for short‑duration power frequency; 200 kV and 380 kV for impulse).
  • Association with Um: Recommends associating selected withstand voltages with the highest voltage for equipment for insulation co‑ordination only.
  • Environmental corrections: Clarifies atmospheric and altitude corrections to be applied in insulation co‑ordination.
  • Insulation level updates: Adjustments to standard insulation levels and Um entries (addition of Um = 100 kV in one range; replacement of some high Um values).
  • Annexes: Addition of Annex A (clearances in air to assure specified impulse withstand voltages) and Annex B (limitations for rated insulation levels for some non‑standard Um values).
  • Responsibility: Apparatus committees must specify rated withstand voltages and appropriate test procedures for specific equipment, taking IEC 60071-1 recommendations into account.
  • Transmission lines: Principles apply but transmission line withstand values may differ from listed standard rated voltages.

Applications and users

IEC 60071-1 is essential for:

  • Electrical engineers and designers of substations, switchgear, transformers and high‑voltage equipment
  • Manufacturers creating specifications and test requirements for insulation systems
  • Utilities and system planners performing insulation co‑ordination studies
  • Standards committees and test laboratories defining rated withstand voltages and test methods

Practical uses include selecting insulation levels, defining clearances, specifying test voltages, and harmonizing equipment ratings for reliable system performance.

Related standards

  • IEC 60071-2 (Application Guide) - provides detailed justification and selection guidance for rules in IEC 60071-1
  • Equipment‑specific IEC standards - apparatus committees set final rated withstand voltages and test procedures consistent with IEC 60071-1 recommendations

Keywords: IEC 60071-1, insulation co‑ordination, rated withstand voltages, phase‑to‑earth, phase‑to‑phase, impulse withstand voltage, short‑duration power‑frequency, highest voltage for equipment, insulation levels.
