High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 106: Alternating current contactors, contactor-based controllers and motor-starters (IEC 62271-106:2021)
This part of IEC 62271 applies to AC contactors and/or contactor-based controllers and motorstarters designed for indoor installation and operation at frequencies up to and including 60 Hz on systems having voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 24 kV. This document also includes additional requirements for outdoor installations where the equipment is housed in an additional protective enclosure.
It is applicable only to three-pole devices for use in three-phase systems, and single-pole devices for use in single-phase systems. Two-pole contactors and starters for use in single-phase systems are subject to agreement between manufacturer and user.
Contactors and/or starters dealt with in this document typically do not have adequate short-circuit interruption capability. In this context, this document gives requirements for:
– starters associated with separate short-circuit protective devices;
– controllers – contactors combined with short-circuit protective devices (SCPD).
Contactors intended for closing and opening electric circuits and, if combined with suitable relays, for protecting these circuits against operating overloads are covered in this document.
This document is also applicable to the operating devices of contactors and to their auxiliary equipment.
Motor-starters intended to start and accelerate motors to normal speed, to ensure continuous operation of motors, to switch off the supply from the motor and to provide means for the protection of motors and associated circuits against operating overloads are dealt with.
Motor-starter types included are:
– direct-on-line starters;
– reversing starters;
– two-direction starters;
– reduced kVA (voltage) starters;
• auto-transformer starters;
• rheostatic starters;
• reactor starters.
This document does not apply to:
– circuit-breaker-based motor-starters;
– single-pole operation of multi-pole contactors or starters;
– two-step auto-transformer starters designed for continuous operation in the starting position;
– unbalanced rheostatic rotor starters, i.e. where the resistances do not have the same value
in all phases;
– equipment designed not only for starting, but also for adjustment of speed;
– liquid starters and those of the "liquid-vapour" type;
– semiconductor contactors and starters making use of semiconductor contactors in the main circuit;
– rheostatic stator starters;
– contactors or starters designed for special applications.
This document does not deal with components contained in contactors and contactor-based motor-starters, for which individual specifications exist.
NOTE 1 Thermal electrical relays are covered by IEC 60255-149.
NOTE 2 High-voltage current-limiting fuses are covered by IEC 60282-1 and IEC 60644.
NOTE 3 Metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV are covered by IEC 62271-200.
NOTE 4 Disconnectors and earthing switches are covered by IEC 62271-102.
NOTE 5 High-voltage switches above 1 kV and less than 52 kV are covered by IEC 62271-103.
The object of this document is to state:
a) the characteristics of contactors and starters and associated equipment;
b) the conditions with which contactors or starters comply with reference to:
1) their operation and behaviour,
2) their dielectric properties,
3) the degrees of protection provided by their enclosures, where applicable,
4) their construction,
5) for controllers, interactions between the various components, for example SCPD co-ordination;
c) the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met, and the methods to be adopted for these tests;
d) the information to be given with the equipment or in the manufacturer's literature.

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.
International Standard IEC 62271-106 has been prepared by subcommittee 17A: Switching
devices, of IEC technical committee 17: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. It constitutes a
