INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION


___________
HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR
Part 111: Overhead, pad-mounted, dry vault, and submersible
automatic circuit reclosers and fault interrupters
for alternating current systems up to 38 kV
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards,
Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter
referred to as IEC Publication(s)). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National
Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International,
governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has
representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC/IEEE 62271-111 has been processed through IEC subcommittee 17A: High-voltage switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 17:
Switchgear and controlgear.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standards


This Dual Logo International Standard is the result of an agreement between the IEC and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE). The original IEEE Standard was submitted to the IEC for
consideration under the agreement, and the resulting IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standard has been
published in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards
through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which
brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers
are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the
process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not
independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.
Use of an IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEC and IEEE disclaim liability for
any personal injury, property or other damage, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect,
consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance upon
this, or any other IEC or IEEE Standard document.
The IEC and IEEE do not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and
expressly disclaim any express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness
for a specific purpose, or that the use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement.
IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standards documents are supplied AS IS.
The existence of an IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to
produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the
IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is
approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the standard.
Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a
document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents,
although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to
determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
In publishing and making this document available, the IEC and IEEE are not suggesting or rendering
professional or other services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity. Neither the IEC nor IEEE is undertaking
to perform any duty owed by any other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing this, and any other
IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standards or IEEE Standards document, should rely upon the advice of a
competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.
Interpretations Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate
to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will
initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned
interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of
interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are
not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has
previously received formal consideration.
Comments for revision of IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standards are welcome from any interested party,
regardless of membership affiliation with the IEC or IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in
the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Comments on standards
and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

IEEE Introduction
This standard has been revised from IEEE Std C37.60-1981, incorporating signicant improvements
that reect the present state of the art in recloser technology. These include changes and additions in
the following areas:
a) Expanded the standard to include gas-insulated reclosers.
b) Revised the title and scope to limit the standard to 38 kV; deleted ratings above 38 kV nominal.
c) Added voltage ratings commonly used outside of North America with related dielectric
withstand capabilities taken from IEC 60694-2002.a
d) Added several new interrupting ratings in the 15.5 kV, 27 kV, and 38 kV ranges.
e) Revised limits of temperature and temperature rise to be consistent with circuit breaker
standards.
f) Reorganized the switching tests into 6.3 following a format similar to IEEE Std 1247TM-1998
and referenced IEEE Std 1247-1998 for switching test procedures.
g) Removed the requirement for transformer magnetizing tests; reference discussion in IEEE Std
1247-1998.
h) Claried the intent of the switching tests as related required capabilities and prohibited the use
of single-phase tests to qualify three-phase reclosers in the performance of the switching tests.
i) Removed the altitude correction factors. (Refer to the following paragraph and informative
Annex E.)
j) Removed the X/R footnote and table of multiplication factors from old 5.6 to new informative
Annex A with expanded information and data.
k) Added new informative Annex B.
l) Added transient recovery voltage (TRV) specications and informative Annex C and Annex D.
m) Restricted the use of single-phase testing to verify three-phase performance.
n) Reduced radio inuence voltage (RIV) limits.
o) Added Partial Discharge as a design and production test.
p) Reduced dc withstand voltage test time from 15 min. to 5 min.
Although this revised standard will be published before the work on IEEE PC37.100.1, Draft
Standard Requirements for Power Switchgear [B13]b is completed, it is the intention of the Recloser
Working Group to issue supplements or revisions to adopt common requirements. There was
considerable discussion in the Recloser Working Group regarding the addition of the partial discharge
test requirements suggesting that this topic should be revisited at the next revision cycle to see if the
data collected between now and then shall warrant any changes in the test procedure or test limits.

Information on references can be found in Clause 2.
