Static transfer systems (STS) -- Part 3: Method for specifying performance and test requirements

The IEC 62310 series of three standards applies to stand-alone operating a.c. static transfer systems (STS) intended to ensure the continuity of load supply through controlled transfer, with or without interruption of power, from two or more independent a.c. sources. This series of standards includes information for the overall integration of the STS and its accessories into the a.c. power network and includes requirements for the switching elements, their control and protective elements, where applicable. Part 1 of the series concerns general and safety requirements. Part 2 of the series concerns electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. This Part 3 of the series concerns methods for specifying performance and test requirements including applicable safety tests referenced in standard IEC 62310-1 for general and safety requirements. This standard applies for single-phase, phase-phase and three-phase static transfers in a. c. systems up to 1 000 V. It takes precedence over all aspects of generic performance standards, and no additional performance testing is necessary. The requirements have been selected so as to be consistent with compatibility levels for lowfrequency conducted disturbances and signalling in public low-voltage power supply systems (see IEC 61000-2-2) as well as to ensure an adequate level of performance when the STS is applied in diverse critical load situations. The requirements take into account the differing test conditions necessary to encompass the range of physical sizes and power ratings of STS. This standard applies to STS as a stand-alone product, whether presented as a unit or an assembly of units. This standard does not apply to: - devices for d.c. source switching; - single source systems; - transfer systems using only electromechanical switching devices with interruption of the supply to the load during transfer and intended to be used in emergency power systems or covered by IEC 60947-6-1; - automatic switching devices integrated into UPS covered by the IEC 62040 series of UPS product standards.

Part 3: Method for specifying performance and test 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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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 62310-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 22H: Uninterruptible power systems (UPS), of IEC technical committee 22: Power electronic systems and equipment. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 22H/105/FDIS 22H/107/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

Part 3: Method for specifying performance and test requirements
1 Scope The IEC 62310 series of three standards applies to stand-alone operating
a.c. static transfer systems (STS) intended to ensure the continuity of load supply through controlled transfer, with or without interruption of power, from two or
more independent a.c. sources. This series of standards includes information for the overall integration of the STS and its accessories into the a.c. power network and includes requirements for the switching elements, their control and protective elements, where applicable.
Part 1 of the series concerns general and safety requirements. Part 2 of the series concerns electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. This Part 3 of the series concerns methods for specifying performance and test requirements including applicable safety tests referenced in standard IEC 62310-1 for general and safety requirements.
This standard applies for single-phase, phase-phase and three-phase static transfers in a. c. systems up to 1 000 V. It takes precedence over all aspects of generic performance standards, and no additional performance testing is necessary.
The requirements have been selected so as to be consistent with compatibility levels for low-frequency conducted disturbances and signalling in public low-voltage power supply systems (see IEC 61000-2-2) as well as to ensure an adequate level of performance when the STS is applied in diverse critical load situations. The requirements take into account the differing test conditions necessary to encompass the range of physical sizes and power ratings of STS. This standard applies to STS as a stand-alone product, whether presented as a unit or an assembly of units. This standard does not apply to: – devices for d.c. source switching; – single source systems; – transfer systems using only electromechanical switching devices with interruption of the supply to the load during transfer and intended to be used in emergency power systems or covered by IEC 60947-6-1; – automatic switching devices integrated into UPS covered by the IEC 62040 series of UPS product standards. NOTE Additional or different requirements may apply to STS intended for use on board of vehicles including ships and aircrafts, in emergency power systems subject to a particular regulation e.g. health care facilities, fire fighting or emergency rescue, in tropical countries or where elevations are greater than 1 000 m. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
