IEC EN 62271-3 High Voltage Switchgear and Control Equipment - Part 3: Standard Test for Digital Interfaces

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62271-3 testing. IEC EN 62271-3 is applicable to high voltage switchgear and control equipment and their assemblies for all rated voltage levels above 1 kV and specifies equipment for digital communication with other parts of electrical network automation and its effect on testing. Replacing metal parallel wiring, this digital communication equipment can be integrated into high voltage switchgear, control device and their assemblies or can be external equipment to ensure existing switchgear and control equipment and their assemblies conform to standards.

IEC EN 62271-3 High Voltage Switchgear and Control Equipment - Part 3: Standard Test for Digital Interfaces

This standard is a product family standard for high voltage switchgear and control devices and their assemblies. In the world of high voltage switchgear and control equipment, it provides an implementation of the horizontal standard series IEC EN 61850 detailing the layered power grid communication architecture.

This International Standard is a product standard based on the IEC EN 61850 series. It deals with all relevant aspects of switchgear and control equipment and their mounting with a serial communication interface according to the IEC 61850 series. In particular, it defines:

  • A selection of information models supported by such switchgear and control devices and their assemblies from the IEC EN 61850 series;
  • Classes of conformity for the set of communication services supported by switchgear and control gear and their assemblies;
  • Modifications and extensions for type and routine testing of switchgear and control devices and their assembly required due to the serial communication interface.

The standard specifies the requirements for digital communications equipment used in high voltage switchgear, control gear and their assemblies, as well as related test requirements.

The relevant switchgear standards of the IEC EN 62271 series are generally valid with the additional features described in this standard.
