Overview

SIST EN IEC 62271-102:2018/A1:2022 is a European amendment to the international standard IEC 62271-102:2018, focused on high-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Specifically, it covers alternating current disconnectors and earthing switches, essential components in high-voltage electrical systems. Published and endorsed by CENELEC, this amendment updates and refines technical requirements, test procedures, and normative references to ensure enhanced safety, reliability, and interoperability in high-voltage equipment.

This standard is critical for manufacturers, engineers, and technical professionals involved in the design, testing, installation, and maintenance of high-voltage switchgear. It harmonizes technical specifications across European member states, facilitating compliance and improving the quality and safety of electrical power infrastructure.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose
  SIST EN IEC 62271-102:2018/A1:2022 applies to alternating current disconnectors and earthing switches used in high-voltage switchgear and controlgear systems. It is meant to standardize definitions, testing methods, and performance requirements.

• Technical Revisions and Amendments
  This amendment replaces references to IEC 60071-2 with IEC 60071-1 for insulation coordination, reflecting updated definitions, principles, and rules that improve testing accuracy and equipment reliability. Some normative clauses have been revised or voided to reflect the latest industry practice and technical knowledge.

• Test Requirements
  The standard details rigorous type test reports and condition applications, specifying how voltage tests and related procedures must be conducted. New clauses refine the documentation of test results and remove obsolete requirements, streamlining compliance processes.

• International and Regional Integration
  The document is available in multiple official languages and ensures alignment with international IEC publications while enabling member countries to adopt it as a national standard without modifications.

Applications

• Power Transmission and Distribution
  Disconnectors and earthing switches are vital for safely isolating sections of electrical networks, protecting both equipment and personnel during maintenance or emergency operations.

• Electrical Substations
  Installation of standardized AC disconnectors and earthing switches in substations improves operational reliability and maintenance safety, critical for urban and industrial power grids.

• High-Voltage Equipment Manufacturing
  Manufacturers adopt the standard to ensure product compliance with international and European safety and performance norms, facilitating easier market access across CENELEC member countries.

• Testing and Certification
  Testing laboratories and certification bodies utilize SIST EN IEC 62271-102:2018/A1:2022 as a benchmark for verifying compliance, ensuring equipment meets defined performance and safety criteria.

Related Standards

• IEC 60071-1: Insulation Coordination - Part 1
  Provides fundamental definitions, principles, and rules essential for the insulation coordination applied in high-voltage switchgear, referenced extensively in this standard.

• IEC 62271 Series - High-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear
  A comprehensive set of standards addressing various components and aspects of high-voltage electrical equipment, ensuring harmonized safety and performance criteria.

• CENELEC Standards for Electrotechnical Equipment
  SIST EN IEC 62271-102:2018/A1:2022 is part of the broader European electrotechnical standards framework facilitating the uniform application of technical regulations.
