This comprehensive course is designed for electrical engineers, testing professionals, switchgear designers, consultants, commissioning engineers, maintenance engineers, manufacturers, laboratory professionals, and students who want to understand the practical application of IEC 62271-200. Throughout the course, we take a structured approach to the standard and explain the important requirements in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. You will learn how high-voltage switchgear is specified, tested, classified, installed, maintained, and evaluated for safe operation.
In this course, you will learn:
- The scope, ratings, design requirements, and general requirements of IEC 62271-200.
- Type tests and routine tests applicable to metal-enclosed switchgear.
- Dielectric testing, including power-frequency and impulse-related test requirements.
- Temperature-rise and continuous-current testing.
- Short-time and peak withstand current testing and post-test verification.
- Mechanical operation and interlock testing.
- Protection verification, tightness testing, and EMC testing.
- Internal Arc Testing, including test arrangements, room simulation, indicator arrangements, arc initiation, test parameters, and acceptance criteria.
- Internal Arc Classification (IAC) and its designation.
