Part 108: High-voltage alternating current disconnecting

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 62271-108 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 2005. This edition
contains the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– The document has been restructured according to IEC 62271-1:2017.

– The document has been adapted to some of the changes introduced in IEC 62271-100:– .
– The document has been adapted to some of the changes introduced in IEC 62271-

– Some definitions have been reviewed and adapted to the latest IEV editions.
– Rated static terminal load and static terminal load test have been removed and a design
requirement for static mechanical loads has been included.
– Additional type tests for auxiliary and control circuits have been included.
– X-radiation test procedure for vacuum interrupters has been included.
– Type test for testing of interlocking device and type test for testing of temporary
mechanical locking devices have been included.
– Special requirements for making and breaking tests on class E2 disconnecting circuit-

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
17A/1269/FDIS 17A/1274/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This document is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62271-100:– and IEC 62271-102:2018, to
which it refers and which are applicable, unless otherwise specified. In order to simplify the
indication of corresponding requirements, the same numbering of clauses and subclauses is
used as in IEC 62271-1:2017. Amendments to these clauses and subclauses are given under
the same numbering, whilst additional subclauses are numbered from 101.
A list of all parts of the IEC 62271 series, under the general title High-voltage switchgear and
controlgear, can be found on the IEC website.
In Canada, disconnecting circuit-breakers are accepted only when a visible gap is provided.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
Part 108: High-voltage alternating current disconnecting
circuit-breakers for rated voltages above 52 kV
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62271 applies to high-voltage alternating current disconnecting circuit-
breakers for operation at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on systems having voltages above
52 kV.
This document identifies which requirements of IEC 62271-1, IEC 62271-100:– and
IEC 62271-102 are applicable. It also gives the additional requirements specific to these
devices.
This document covers single switching devices which perform the functions of both a circuit-
breaker and a disconnector by means of contacts housed in a single enclosure, and in which
the circuit-breaker contacts in the open position satisfy, or contribute to, the isolating
requirements of the disconnector function. As there is interaction between the requirements of
the separate functions, it is important to consider the standardization of requirements. This
document details the requirements for a disconnecting circuit-breaker, identifying where these
differ from the separate requirements of a discrete circuit-breaker and a disconnector.
