High-voltage prefabricated switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 206: Voltage presence indicating systems (IEC 62271-206:2011)

This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to voltage presence indicating systems (VPIS) incorporated in a.c. switchgear and controlgear covered by IEC 62271-200 or IEC 62271-201. Voltage presence indicating systems are devices used to provide information to operators about the voltage condition of the main circuit of the switchgear in which they are installed. The indication of VPIS alone is not sufficient to prove that the system is dead: if operating procedures make it mandatory, relevant voltage detectors according to IEC 61243-1,
IEC 61243-2 and IEC 61243-5 should be used.
This standard is also applicable to phase comparators specifically designed for use with VPIS.

Ensembles préfabriqués d'appareillages haute tension - Partie 206: Systèmes indicateurs de présence de tension (CEI 62271-206:2011)

La CEI 62271-206:2011 est applicable aux systèmes indicateurs de présence de tension (VPIS) incorporés dans l'appareillage pour courant alternatif conforme à la CEI 62271 200 ou à la CEI 62271-201. Les systèmes indicateurs de présence de tension sont des dispositifs utilisés pour informer l'exploitant sur l'état de tension du circuit principal de l'appareillage dans lequel ils sont installés. Cette première édition de la CEI 62271-206 annule et remplace la première édition de la CEI 61958. Cette édition constitue une révision mineure. Les principaux changements par rapport à l'édition de la CEI 61958 sont l'actualisation des références et le degré de protection qui passe de IPXXB à IPX2.

Sestavi predizdelanih visokonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav - 206. del: Sistemi za javljanje prisotnosti napetosti (IEC 62271-206:2011)

Ta del IEC 62271 velja za sisteme za javljanje prisotnosti napetosti (VPIS), vgrajene v izmenične stikalne in krmilne naprave, ki jih zajema IEC 62271-200 ali IEC 62271-201. Sistemi za javljanje prisotnosti napetosti so naprave, ki upravljavcem zagotavljajo informacije o stanju napetosti glavnega vezja stikalnih naprav, v katerih so nameščene. Samo javljanje sistemov VPIS ni dovolj za dokaz, da sistem ni aktiven: če delovni postopki tako zahtevajo, se morajo uporabiti ustrezni detektorji napetosti v skladu z IEC 61243-1, IEC 61243-2 in IEC 61243-5.
Ta standard velja tudi za komparatorje, ki so posebej namenjeni uporabi s sistemi VPIS.

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 62271-206 has been prepared by subcommittee 17C: High-voltage
switchgear and controlgear assemblies, of IEC technical committee 17: Switchgear and
controlgear.
This first edition of IEC 62271-206 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61958. This
edition constitutes a minor revision.
The main changes with respect of the first edition of IEC 61958 are an actualization of
references and the degree of protection which has been changed from IPXXB to IP2X.

1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to voltage presence indicating systems (VPIS) incor-
porated in a.c. switchgear and controlgear covered by IEC 62271-200 or IEC 62271-201.
Voltage presence indicating systems are devices used to provide information to operators
about the voltage condition of the main circuit of the switchgear in which they are installed.
The indication of VPIS alone is not sufficient to prove that the system is dead: if operating
procedures make it mandatory, relevant voltage detectors according to IEC 61243-1,
IEC 61243-2 and IEC 61243-5 should be used.
This standard is also applicable to phase comparators specifically designed for use with VPIS.
1.2 Normative references

NOTE 1 VPIS may also be used in conjunction with phase comparators.
NOTE 2 VPIS are not designed to detect reliably the absence of voltage: for this purpose, only voltage detectors
or voltage detecting systems (VDS according to IEC 61243-5) should be used.
3.2
