IEC EN 60265-2 High Voltage Switches - Part 2: High Voltage Switches for Rated Voltages of 52 kV and Above

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60265-2 testing. It is applicable to three-phase alternating current switches with breaking and breaking current ratings, for indoor and outdoor installations, for rated voltages of 52 kV and above and rated frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.

This standard is applied to three-phase alternating current switches with opening and breaking current values ​​for indoor and outdoor installations with rated voltages of 52kV and above; and for rated frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.

The main purpose of this standard is to specify requirements for switches used in transmission and distribution systems.

General purpose switches for this application will be suitable for the following service applications:

• Carrying rated normal current continuously;
• carrying short-circuit currents for a certain period of time;
• Replacement of predominantly active loads;
• Switching of no-load transformers;
• Switching the charging current of unloaded cables, overhead lines or busbars;
• Switching of closed-circuit circuits;
• Making short circuit currents.

Another purpose of this standard is to specify requirements for limited purpose and special purpose switches used in transmission and distribution systems. Limited purpose switches will comply with one or more of the service implementations listed above.
