BS EN 60071-1:1996 is a European Standard that specifies the requirements for the insulation co-ordination of high-voltage (HV) electrical systems, including HV substations, overhead lines, and cable systems. The standard provides guidelines for the selection of insulation levels and the coordination of insulation withstand voltages for equipment and installations.
The standard covers the following aspects:
Insulation levels: The standard provides guidelines for selecting the appropriate insulation levels for equipment and installations based on the system voltage, environment, and operating conditions.
Overvoltage protection: The standard specifies the requirements for overvoltage protection devices and systems, including surge arresters, capacitors, and protective relays.
Insulation coordination: The standard provides guidance on the coordination of insulation levels between different parts of the electrical system, such as transformers, switchgear, and cables, to ensure that the system can withstand the specified overvoltage levels.
Testing and evaluation: The standard outlines the requirements for testing and evaluating the insulation performance of equipment and installations, including type tests, routine tests, and sample tests.
BS EN 60071-1:1996 is an important standard for the design and operation of HV electrical systems and is widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. It has been updated several times since its initial publication to reflect the latest developments in insulation co-ordination technology and practices.
