Full Description
This part of IEC 62271 specifies requirements for gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear inwhich the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by an insulating gas or gas mixture other thanair at atmospheric pressure, for direct current of rated voltages including and above 100 kV, forindoor and outdoor installation. This document includes rules for service conditions, ratings,design, and construction requirements. Test requirements and criteria for proof for passing typeand routine tests are defined in this document for development and manufacturing of DCswitchgear.
For the purpose of this document, the terms "DC GIS" and "DC switchgear" are used for "DCgas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear".
This specification is applicable for both Line Commutated Converter (LCC) and Voltage SourcedConverter (VSC) for HVDC systems.
The DC gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear covered by this document consists ofindividual components intended to be directly connected together and able to operate only inthis manner.
This document completes and amends, if applicable, the various relevant documents applyingto the individual components constituting DC gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear.
All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
