Techniques des essais à haute tension pour matériel à basse tension - Définitions, exigences et modalités relatives aux essais, matériel d'essai

L'IEC 61180:2016 est applicable aux essais diélectriques en tension continue, aux essais diélectriques en tension alternative, aux essais diélectriques en tension de choc et au matériel d'essai utilisé pour effectuer des essais diélectriques sur des matériels à basse tension. La présente Norme n'est applicable qu'aux essais de matériels dont la tension assignée ne dépasse pas 1 kV en courant alternatif ou 1,5 kV en courant continu. La présente Norme est applicable aux essais de type et aux essais individuels de série pour les objets qui sont soumis à des essais à haute tension tels que spécifiés par le comité d'études. Le matériel d'essai est constitué d'un générateur de tension et d'un système de mesure. La présente Norme concerne le matériel d'essai dont le système de mesure est protégé contre les perturbations et les couplages externes par un système d'écrans approprié, par exemple, un écran conducteur continu. En conséquence, des essais de comparaison simples sont suffisants pour assurer la validité des résultats. La présente Norme n'est pas destinée à être utilisée pour les essais de compatibilité électromagnétique de matériel électrique ou électronique. Les essais qui combinent des tensions et des courants de choc sont couverts par l'IEC 61000-4-5. La présente norme spécifie autant que possible aux comités d'études concernés des termes définis d'application générale ou particulière, des exigences générales relatives aux objets en essai et aux modalités d'essai, des méthodes pour produire et mesurer les tensions d'essai, des modalités d'essai, des méthodes d'interprétation des résultats d'essai et d'indication des critères d'acceptation, des exigences concernant les dispositifs de mesure certifiés et les méthodes de vérification, une incertitude de mesure. Des variantes aux modalités d'essai peuvent être exigées et il convient qu'elles soient spécifiées par les comités d'études concernés. Il convient de déterminer si l'objet en essai comporte des dispositifs limiteurs de tension dans la mesure où ils peuvent influer sur les résultats de l'essai. Il convient que les comités d'études concernés fournissent des lignes directrices concernant les essais auxquels sont soumis les objets équipés de dispositifs limiteurs de tension. Cette première édition de l'IEC 61180 annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC 61180-1, publiée en 1992, et la première édition de l'IEC 61180-2, publiée en 1994.

Tehnike visokonapetostnega preskušanja nizkonapetostne opreme - Definicije, preskusne in postopkovne zahteve, preskusna oprema

IEC 61180 se uporablja za: – dielektrične preskuse z enosmerno napetostjo; – dielektrične preskuse z izmenično napetostjo; – dielektrične preskuse z udarno napetostjo; – preskusno opremo, ki se uporablja za dielektrične preskuse nizkonapetostne opreme. Ta standard se uporablja samo za preskuse opreme z nazivno napetostjo največ 1 kV pri izmeničnem toku ali 1,5 kV pri enosmernem toku. Ta standard se uporablja za tipske in rutinske preskuse za predmete, izpostavljene visokonapetostnim preskusom, kot določi tehnični odbor. Preskusna oprema zajema generator napetosti in merilni sistem. Ta standard obravnava preskusno opremo, pri kateri je merilni sistem zaščiten pred zunanjimi motnjami in sklopi na podlagi ustreznega presejanja (npr. neprekinjena prevodna zaščita). Za zagotavljanje veljavnih rezultatov tako zadostujejo preprosti primerjalni preskusi. Ta standard ni namenjen za uporabo pri preskusih elektromagnetne združljivosti električne ali elektronske opreme.

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 61180 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 42: High-voltage and high-current test techniques. This 1st edition of IEC 61180 cancels and replaces the 1st edition of IEC 61180-1, issued in 1992, and the 1st edition of IEC 61180-2, issued in 1994. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 42/341/FDIS 42/342/RVD

Definitions, test and procedure requirements, test equipment
1 Scope This International Standard is applicable to: – dielectric tests with direct voltage; – dielectric tests with alternating voltage; – dielectric tests with impulse voltage; – test equipment used for dielectric tests on low-voltage equipment. This standard is applicable only to tests on equipment having a rated voltage of not more than 1 kV a.c. or 1,5 kV d.c. This standard is applicable to type and routine tests for objects which are subjected to high voltage tests as specified by the technical committee. The test equipment comprises a voltage generator and a measuring system. This standard covers test equipment in which the measuring system is protected against external interference and coupling by appropriate screening, for example a continuous conducting shield. Therefore, simple comparison tests are sufficient to ensure valid results. This standard is not intended to be used for electromagnetic compatibility tests on electric or electronic equipment
NOTE Tests with the combination of impulse voltages and currents are covered by IEC 61000-4-5. This standard provides the relevant technical committees as far as possible with: – defined terms of both general and specific applicability; – general requirements regarding test objects and test procedures; – methods for generation and measurement of test voltages; – test procedures; – methods for the evaluation of test results and to indicate criteria for acceptance; – requirements concerning approved measuring devices and checking methods; – measurement uncertainty.
Alternative test procedures may be required and these should be specified by the relevant technical committees. Care should be taken if the test object has voltage limiting devices, as they may influence the results of the test. The relevant technical committees should provide guidance for testing objects equipped with voltage limiting devices. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
