Tap-changers - Part 1: Performance requirements and test methods

EN IEC 60214-1 applies to on-load tap-changers of both resistor and reactor types, deenergized tap-changers, and their motor-drive mechanisms. It applies mainly to tap-changers immersed in mineral insulating oil according to IEC 60296 but may also be used for tap-changers with air or gas insulation or immersed in other insulating liquids insofar as conditions are applicable. It applies mainly to tap-changers with arcing contacts but may also be used for arcing-free onload tap-changers (such as electronic switching) insofar as conditions are applicable. This part of IEC 60214 applies to power and distribution transformers of all types and also to reactors. It does not apply to transformers and reactors mounted on railway rolling stock.

Changeurs de prises - Partie 1: Prescriptions de performances et méthodes d'essai

L'IEC 60214-1:2014 s'applique aux changeurs de prises en charge aussi bien de type à résistance qu'à bobine d'inductance, aux changeurs de prises non alimentés et à leurs mécanismes d'entraînement à moteur. Elle s'applique essentiellement aux changeurs de prises immergés dans de l'huile minérale isolante selon l'IEC 60296, mais elle peut également être utilisée pour des changeurs de prises à isolation gazeuse ou dans l'air, ou immergés dans d'autres liquides isolants, dans la mesure où les conditions sont applicables. Elle s'applique essentiellement aux changeurs de prises avec contacts d'arc, mais peut également être utilisée pour les changeurs de prises en charge sans arc (tels que les changeurs à coupure électronique), dans la mesure où les conditions sont applicables. La présente partie de l'IEC 60214 s'applique à tous les types de transformateurs pour applications de puissance et de distribution et également aux bobines d'inductance. Elle ne s'applique pas aux transformateurs et bobines d'inductance montés sur matériel roulant ferroviaire. Cette deuxième édition de l'IEC 60214-1 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2003. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) intégration des exigences concernant les changeurs de prises en charge de type à vide,
b) intégration des exigences concernant les changeurs de prises à isolation gazeuse,
c) changements portant sur les essais de type afin de répondre aux conditions de service,
d) référence à la nouvelle édition de l'IEC 60076-3:2013.

Odcepni preklopniki - 1. del: Tehnične zahteve in preskusne metode (IEC 60214-1:2014)

Standard EN IEC 60214-1 se uporablja za bremenske odcepne preklopnike v obliki uporov in reaktorjev, odcepne preklopnike brez visoke napetosti in njihove pogonske mehanizme. Večinoma se uporablja za odcepne preklopnike, potopljene v izolacijsko mineralno olje v skladu s standardom IEC 60296, vendar se lahko uporablja tudi za odcepne preklopnike z zračno ali plinsko izolacijo ali potopljene v druge izolacijske tekočine, če so pogoji primerni. Standard se večinoma uporablja za odcepne preklopnike z obločnimi kontakti, vendar se ga lahko uporabi tudi za bremenske odcepne preklopnike brez obločnih kontaktov (kot je elektronski preklop), če so pogoji primerni. Ta del standarda IEC 60214 se uporablja za močnostne in distribucijske transformatorje vseh vrst ter reaktorje, ne uporablja pa se za transformatorje in reaktorje, nameščene na železniških vozilih.

Part 1: Performance requirements

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
