Performance criterion IEC 60071-2 Cl 32Performance criterion IEC 60071-2 Cl 32

According to definition 322 of IEC 71-1 the performance criterion to be required from theinsulation in service is the acceptable failure rate (Ra)

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Insulation Strength in Air

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw

Air density vs altitude 8150eH

(regression of experimental data)

where H hellip altitude above sea level in m

Voltage correction depends on voltage shape (the kind of pre-discharges) thus a voltage-dependant factor m is introduced

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw

Performance criterion IEC 60071-2 Cl 32Performance criterion IEC 60071-2 Cl 32

According to definition 322 of IEC 71-1 the performance criterion to be required from theinsulation in service is the acceptable failure rate (Ra)

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw

According to definition 322 of IEC 71-1 the performance criterion to be required from theinsulation in service is the acceptable failure rate (Ra)

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Performance criterion IEC 60071-2 Cl 32Performance criterion IEC 60071-2 Cl 32

According to definition 322 of IEC 71-1 the performance criterion to be required from theinsulation in service is the acceptable failure rate (Ra)

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw

According to definition 322 of IEC 71-1 the performance criterion to be required from theinsulation in service is the acceptable failure rate (Ra)

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

The performance of the insulation in a system is judged on the basis of the number ofinsulation failures during service Faults in different parts of the network can have differentconsequences For example in a meshed system a permanent line fault or an unsuccessfulreclosure due to slow-front surges is not as severe as a busbar fault or corresponding faults in a radial network Therefore acceptable failure rates in a network can vary from point to point depending on the consequences of a failure at each of these points

Examples for acceptable failure rates can be drawn from fault statistics covering the existingsystems and from design projects where statistics have been taken into account Forapparatus acceptable failure rates Ra due to overvoltages are in the range of 0001year up to 0004year depending on the repair times For overhead lines acceptable failure rates due to lightning vary in the range of 01100 kmyear up to 20100 kmyear (the greatest number being for distribution lines) Corresponding figures for acceptable failure rates due to switching overvoltages lie in the range 001 to 0001 per operation Values for acceptable failure rates should be in these orders of magnitude

Altitude correctionAltitude correction

In general withstand or breakdown voltages must be corrected for air density (pressure temperature) and absolute humidity

Temperature and absolute humidity tend to cancel out each other Thus correction is mainly required for pressure which has its strongest influence in the altitude of installation

Therefore in the procedure of insulation coordination an altitude correction must be performed in the step from the coordination withstand voltage Ucw to the required withstand voltage Urw
