High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 203: AC gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear for rated voltages above 52 kV (IEC 62271-203:2022)

This part of IEC 62271 specifies requirements for gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear in which the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by an insulating gas or gas mixture other than air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV, for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.
For the purpose of this standard, the terms "GIS" and "switchgear" are used for "gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear".
The gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear covered by this standard consists of individual components intended to be directly connected together and able to operate only in this manner.
This standard completes and amends, if necessary, the various relevant standards applying to the individual components constituting GIS.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –

Part 203: AC gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear
for rated voltages above 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.
IEC 62271-203 has been prepared by subcommittee 17C: Assemblies, of IEC technical
committee 17: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear. It is an International Standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2011. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the document has been aligned with IEC 62271-1:2017;
b) beside SF also alternative gases have been implemented where needed;
6
c) the terms and definitions have been updated and terms not used have been removed;
d) Subclause 6.16 “Gas and vacuum tightness” has been updated;

e) Subclause 6.16.3 “Closed pressure systems”: Two classes of gas has been introduced:
1) GWP ≤ 1 000
2) GWP > 1 000
and the tightness requirements for type tests for gasses with GWP > 1 000 has been reduced
from 0,5 % to 0,1 % per year per gas compartment;
f) Subclause 6.108 “Interfaces”: Typical maximum pressures in service for interfaces
connected to GIS have been defined;
g) Subclauses 7.2 through 7.8 have been restructured;
h) Subclause 7.107 “Corrosion test on earthing connections” has been updated;
i) Subclause 7.108 “Corrosion tests on sealing systems of enclosures and auxiliary
equipment” has been updated;
j) Annex F ‘Service Continuity’ has been modified and aligned with the recommendations of
CIGRE WG B3.51.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –

Part 203: AC gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear
for rated voltages above 52 kV



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62271 specifies requirements for gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear in
which the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by an insulating gas or gas mixture other than
air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV, for indoor
and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.
For the purpose of this document, the terms “GIS” and “switchgear” are used for “gas-insulated
metal-enclosed switchgear”.
The gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear covered by this document consists of individual
components intended to be directly connected together and able to operate only in this manner.
This document completes and amends, if applicable, the various relevant standards applying to
the individual components constituting GIS.
