High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 106: Alternating current contactors, contactor-based controllers and motor-starters (IEC 62271-106:2011)

IEC 62271-106:2011 is applicable to a.c. contactors and/or contactor-based controllers and motor-starters designed for indoor installation and operation at frequencies up to and including 60 Hz on systems having voltages above 1 000 V but not exceeding 24 000 V. It is applicable only to three-pole devices for use in three-phase systems, and single-pole devices for use in single-phase systems. Two-pole contactors and starters for use in single-phase systems are subject to agreement between manufacturer and user. This standard cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60470 published in 1999. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60470:1999:   - Scope and object: The voltage range covered by the standard was expanded from 12 kV to 24 kV. Overload relay calibration and testing is not covered by this standard.  - 3 Terms and definitions: Added definitions for capacitor switching classes.  - 4.1 Rated voltage: Added 15, 17,5 and 24 kV as standard voltage values.  - 4.109.2 Starting duty of reduced-voltage starters: Added ratings for autotransformer and reactor starters (was in the testing section).  - 4.112 Rated capacitive switching currents: Added capacitor switching current ratings.  - 5.101 Protective relays: Removed the requirements for overload relays. This section is obsolete since there are only a few MV starters fitted with thermal overload relays and electronic relays have their own standards.  - 6.2.5 Application of the test voltage and test conditions (former 6.2.2 b)): Changed wording of requirement for impulse across the open gap of vacuum contactors.  - 6.4.2 Auxiliary circuits: The requirement for resistance checks of auxiliary circuits was deleted.  - 6.5.5.104 Temperature rise of the auto transformer or reactor for two step auto transformer or reactor starters: Reworded to transfer ratings to subclause 4.109.2.   - 6.102.9 Condition following making and breaking tests: Gave specific direction as to what the tolerance should be based on where the resistance was to be checked.  - 6.104 Short-circuit current making and breaking tests: Clarified test conditions for short-circuit testing.  - 6.109 Capacitive current switching tests: Added capacitive current switching tests.  - Annex B: Added Table B.1 - Tolerances on test quantities for type test.

Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 106: Contacteurs, combinés de démarrage à contacteurs et démarreurs de moteurs, pour courant alternatif (CEI 62271-106:2011)

La CEI 62271-106:2011 est applicable aux contacteurs à courant alternatif et/ou aux combinés de démarrage et démarreurs de moteurs à base de contacteurs conçus pour des installations intérieures et pour fonctionner à des fréquences inférieures ou égales à 60 Hz, dans des systèmes de tensions supérieures à 1 000 V mais n'excédant pas 24 000 V. Elle ne s'applique qu'aux dispositifs tripolaires, utilisés dans des systèmes triphasés, et aux dispositifs unipolaires, utilisés dans des systèmes monophasés. Les contacteurs et les démarreurs bipolaires peuvent être utilisés dans des systèmes monophasés, après accord entre le constructeur et l'utilisateur. La présente norme annule et remplace la deuxième édition de la CEI 60470 parue en 1999. Elle constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques importantes suivantes par rapport à la CEI 60470:1999.  - 1.1 Domaine d'application et objet: La plage des tensions couverte par la Norme a été étendue de 12 kV à 24 kV.L'étalonnage et les essais des relais de surcharge ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.  - 3 Définitions: Définitions supplémentaires pour les classes de commutation de condensateurs.   - 4.1 Tension assignée: Les valeurs normalisées de 15 kV, 17,5 kV et 24 kV ont été ajoutées.  - 4.109.2 Service de démarrage des démarreurs à tension réduite: Des caractéristiques assignées concernant les démarreurs à autotransformateur ou à réactance ont été ajoutées. Elles étaient traitées dans la partie relative aux essais.  - 4.112 Courants capacitifs de man uvre assignés: Des caractéristiques assignées relatives aux courants de commutation des condensateurs ont été ajoutées.  - 5.101 Relais de protection: Les exigences concernant les relais de surcharge ont été retirées. Cette partie n'est plus d'actualité, puisqu'il n'y a plus guère de démarreurs à moyenne tension équipés de relais de surcharge et les relais électroniques ont leurs propres normes.  - 6.2.5 Application de la tension d'essai et conditions d'essai (ancien 6.2.2 b): Le libellé de l'exigence relative à l'impulsion entre l'espace ouvert des contacteurs sous vide a été modifié.  - 6.4.2 Circuits auxiliaires: L'exigence concernant les vérifications de résistance des circuits auxiliaires a été supprimée.   - 6.5.5.104 Échauffement de l'autotransformateur ou de la réactance pour les démarreurs à autotransformateur ou à réactance à deux étapes: Ce paragraphe a été reformulé pour transférer les caractéristiques assignées au paragraphe 4.109.2.  - 6.102.9 État après les essais de fermeture et de coupure: Des indications spécifiques sont données quant à la manière dont il convient de définir la tolérance lors de la vérification de résistance.  - 6.104 Essais d'établissement et de coupure de courants de court-circuit: Les conditions d'essai relatives aux essais de court-circuit ont été explicitées.  - 6.109 Essais d'établissement et de coupure de courants capacitifs: Les essais d'établissement et de coupure des courants capacitifs ont été ajoutés.  - Annexe B: Le Tableau B.1 - Tolérances sur les grandeurs d'essai pour les essais de type -  a été ajouté.",PE

Part 106: Alternating current contactors,
contactor-based controllers and motor-starters
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 62271-106 has been prepared by subcommittee 17A: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 17: Switchgear and controlgear. This standard cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60470 published in 1999. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60470:1999:
· Scope and object: The voltage range covered by the standard was expanded from 12 kV to 24 kV.

62271-106 Ó IEC:2011 – 5 – HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –
Part 106: Alternating current contactors,
contactor-based controllers and motor-starters
1 General 1.1 Scope and object This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to a.c. contactors and/or contactor-based controllers and motor-starters designed for indoor installation and operation at frequencies up to and including 60 Hz on systems having voltages above 1 000 V but not exceeding 24 000 V. It is applicable only to three-pole devices for use in three-phase systems, and single-pole devices for use in single-phase systems. Two-pole contactors and starters for use in single-phase systems are subject to agreement between manufacturer and user. Contactors and/or starters dealt with in this standard typically do not have adequate short-circuit interruption capability. In this context, this standard gives requirements for – motor starters associated with separate short-circuit protective devices; – controllers - contactors combined with short-circuit protective devices (SCPD). Contactors intended for closing and opening electric circuits and, if combined with suitable relays, for protecting these circuits against operating overloads are covered in this standard. This standard is also applicable to the operating devices of contactors and to their auxiliary equipment.
