IEC EN 62271-308 High Voltage Switchgear and Controller - Part 308: Asymmetrical Short Circuit Break Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62271-308 testing. This technical report contains information and test procedures for type testing of circuit breakers regarding short-circuit breaking performance during the asymmetric test task (T62271a) as required by IEC EN 100-100. This whitepaper covers all possible test cases such as single-phase, three-phase, direct tests, synthetic tests, first pole to zero multipliers 1,3 and 1,5.

IEC EN 62271-308 High Voltage Switchgear and Controller - Part 308: Asymmetrical Short Circuit Break Test

IEC 100-62271 test procedures for short-circuit breaking performance during the asymmetric test task (T100a) only have the time constant of the DC test circuit equal to or close to the nominal DC.

This whitepaper is generally applicable and the time constant of the DC test circuit is equal to or different from the rated DC. time constant of the rated short-circuit breaking current. To allow for more than one rated DC, tolerances in the test parameters are also given. the time constant can be covered by a single test series. This concept of asymmetry equivalence can also help the user to balance system needs with rating requirements.

When the time constant of the DC test circuit is different from the rated DC. the time constant of the rated short-circuit breaking current, the test procedures given in IEC EN 62271-100 cannot be directly applied and the test procedure given in this technical report must be followed. The procedures given in this manual, the time constant of the DC test circuit is equal to the rated DC.
