High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 307: Guidance for the extension of validity of type tests of AC metal and solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV (CLC IEC/TR 62271-307:2019)

This Part of IEC 62271, which is a Technical Report, refers to prefabricated metal-enclosed and solid-insulation enclosed (both hereinafter called enclosed) switchgear and controlgear assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV as specified in IEC 62271-200 and IEC 62271-201, and to other equipment included in the same enclosure with any possible mutual influence.
This Technical Report may be used for the extension of the validity of type tests performed on one test object with a defined set of ratings to another switchgear assembly of the same family with a different set of ratings or different arrangements of components. It supports the selection of representative test objects composed of functional units of a family of switchgear and controlgear aimed at the optimization of type tests in order to perform a consistent conformity assessment.
This Technical Report utilises a combination of sound technical and physical principles, manufacturer and user experience and calculations to establish guidance for the extension of validity of type tests, covering various design and rating aspects.

Visokonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 307. del: Navodilo za podaljšanje veljavnosti preskusov tipa za izmenične (AC) stikalne in krmilne naprave v kovinskih ohišjih in ohišjih iz trdih izolacijskih materialov za naznačene napetosti nad 1 kV do vključno 52 kV (CLC IEC/TR 62271-307:2019)

Ta del standarda IEC 62271, ki je tehnično poročilo, se navezuje na predizdelane sklope stikalnih in krmilnih naprav v kovinskih ohišjih in ohišjih iz trdih izolacijskih materialov (v nadaljevanju »v ohišju«) za izmenični tok naznačenih napetosti nad 1 kV in do vključno 52 kV, kot je opredeljeno v standardih IEC 62271-200 in IEC 62271-201, ter na drugo opremo, ki je vključena v istem ohišju s kakršnim koli možnim medsebojnim vplivanjem.
To tehnično poročilo je mogoče uporabljati za podaljšanje veljavnosti tipskih preskusov, ki se izvajajo na enem preskušancu z določenim naborom napetosti, na drug sklop stikalnih naprav iz iste družine z drugačnim naborom napetosti ali drugačno razporeditvijo komponent. Podpira izbiro reprezentativnih preskušancev, sestavljenih iz funkcionalnih enot iz družine stikalnih in krmilnih naprav, ki je usmerjena na optimizacijo tipskih preskusov za dosledno ugotavljanje skladnosti.
To tehnično poročilo uporablja kombinacijo smotrnih tehničnih in fizikalnih načel, izkušenj proizvajalcev in uporabnikov ter izračunov za vzpostavitev smernic za podaljšanje veljavnosti tipskih preskusov, ki zajemajo različne vidike zasnove in napetosti.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –

Part 307: Guidance for the extension of validity of type tests of
AC metal and solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear
for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV

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.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC TR 62271-307, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 17C:
Assemblies, of IEC technical committee 17: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
This Technical Report is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62271-200 published in 2011 and
IEC 62271-201 published in 2014.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –

Part 307: Guidance for the extension of validity of type tests of
AC metal and solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear
for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV



1 General
1.1 Scope
This Part of IEC 62271, which is a Technical Report, refers to prefabricated metal-enclosed
and solid-insulation enclosed (both hereinafter called enclosed) switchgear and controlgear
assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV
as specified in IEC 62271-200 and IEC 62271-201, and to other equipment included in the
same enclosure with any possible mutual influence.
This Technical Report may be used for the extension of the validity of type tests performed on
one test object with a defined set of ratings to another switchgear assembly of the same
family with a different set of ratings or different arrangements of components. It supports the
selection of representative test objects composed of functional units of a family of switchgear
and controlgear aimed at the optimization of type tests in order to perform a consistent
conformity assessment.
This Technical Report utilises a combination of sound technical and physical principles,
manufacturer and user experience and calculations to establish guidance for the extension of
validity of type tests, covering various design and rating aspects.
