IEC 62271-207:2007

Applies to all switchgear and their assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages of 72,5 kV and above for indoor and outdoor installation, including their supporting structure rigidly connected to the ground. Where switchgear and their assemblies are not ground mounted, e.g. in a building, conditions for application are subject to agreement between users and manufacturers. The seismic qualification of the switchgear and their assemblies take into account any auxiliary and control equipment either directly mounted or as a separate structure. This standard provides procedures to seismically qualify ground mounted switchgear and their assemblies for rated voltages of 72,5 kV and above. The seismic qualification of the switchgear and their assemblies is only performed upon request. This standard specifies seismic severity levels and gives a choice of methods that may be applied to demonstrate the performance of high-voltage switchgear and their assemblies for which seismic qualification is required.

IEC 62271-207:2012 applies to gas-insulated switchgear assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages above 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installations, including their supporting structure. This second edition of IEC 62271-207 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - modification of the minimum voltage rating from 72,5 kV to above 52 kV; - harmonisation of qualification procedures for GIS with IEEE 693:2005 Annex A and P by modifying the response spectra; - modification of the test procedures; - addition of criteria of allowed stresses; - addition of dynamic analysis CQC. The contents of the corrigendum of January 2013 have been included in this copy.
