What is BS EN 60071-5 - Insulation co-ordination of High-voltage direct current about?
BS EN IEC 6007-5 is an international standard that discusses insulation coordination. The main objective of the BS EN IEC 60071 series is to ensure HVDC offers the required levels of quality and performance.
BS EN 60071-5 is the fifth part of the multi-series that provides guidance on the procedures for insulation coordination of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations, without prescribing standardized insulation levels.
BS EN 60071-5 applies only for HVDC applications in high-voltage a.c. power systems and not for industrial conversion equipment. Principles and guidance given are for insulation coordination purposes only. The requirements for human safety are not covered by this BS EN 60071-5.
Who is BS EN 60071-5 - Insulation co-ordination of High-voltage direct current for?
BS EN 60071-5 on insulation co-ordination is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of electronic grid
- Electrical engineer
- Electronic component and equipment manufacturer
- Design engineers
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 60071-5 - Insulation co-ordination of High-voltage direct current?
Insulation co-ordination is the technique that specifies the selection of the dielectric strength of equipment in relation to the operating voltages and overvoltage that can appear on the system, and taking into account the service environment and the characteristics of the available preventing and protective devices.
BS EN 60071-5 specifies the principles that apply to transmission line insulation, the values of their withstand voltages can be different from the standard rated withstand voltages.
BS EN 60071-5 also provides typical HVDC converter station schemes, insulation co-ordination procedures, arrester characteristics, design procedures of insulation co-ordination with Study tools, and system modelling.
BS EN IEC 60071-5 can help ensure high-voltage installation impart that require level of electrical insulation. You can make sure that the dielectric strength helps maintain overall system integrity.
