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
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
(standards.iteh.ai)
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.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62271 applies to gas-insulated switchgear assemblies for alternating current
of rated voltages above 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installations, including their supporting
structure.
For switchgear devices, e.g. live tank circuit breakers, IEC/TR 62271-300 is applicable.
Guidance on interactions between the supporting structure and the soil / foundations is
provided in Annex B.
The seismic qualification of the switchgear assemblies takes into account testing of typical
switchgear assemblies combined with methods of analysis. Mutual interaction between
directly mounted auxiliary and control equipment and switchgear assemblies are covered.

4.1 General
The seismic qualification shall demonstrate the ability of the switchgear assemblies to
withstand seismic stress. It may be proofed by test or by a combination of test and analysis.
No failure on the enclosure and the main circuits as well as on the control and auxiliary
circuit, including the relevant supporting structures, shall occur.
For ductile material, minor permanent deformations are acceptable provided that they do not
impair the functionality of the equipment. The equipment shall properly operate after the
seismic event as defined in 7.2 and 7.3.
The qualification has to be done on one of the recommended levels of Table 1. For vertical
severities the direction factor is 0,5.
No qualification is required for low seismic level as far as construction practice and seismic
construction practice comply with the state of the art.
Other qualification levels which consist in requirements from the customer that can be based
on specific investigation at site or regulations in national standard, taking into account for

example the type of soil, soil structure interaction, building response, and elevation may be
used.

5.1 General
The test procedure for qualification of a test-set shall be in accordance with IEC 60068-3-3.
NOTE 1 For GIS it is not possible to test a complete substation on a shake table, because of the size and weight.
Numerical analysis is always needed to give information about the seismic qualification.
The seismic test needs to be carried out under the rated filling pressure of the GIS.
The rated filling pressure in the GIS is required to test under realistic situations. Nevertheless
test laboratories for seismic testing need adequate safety measures. Test laboratories are
available in USA, Europe and Japan.
NOTE 2 The circuit breaker operates much faster than any earthquake excitation and therefore a switching
operation has no practical impact on the test result.
If the auxiliary and control equipment or other parts of the equipment are dynamically
uncoupled, they may be qualified independently.
If a test-set cannot be tested with its supporting structure (e.g., due to its size), the dynamic
contribution of the structure shall be determined by analysis and taken into account in the
test.
The time-history test method is to be preferred, since it more closely simulates actual
conditions, particularly if the behaviour of the test-set is not linear. The test method shall be in
accordance with IEC 60068-2-57.
5.2 Mounting
The horizontal orientation of the test-set shall be in the direction of excitation acting along its
two main orthogonal axes.
Any fixations or connections that are required only the convenience of testing must not affect
the dynamic behaviour of the test-set.
Frequency range shall be 0,5 Hz to 33 Hz. The frequency range is applied to the resonant
frequency search test and the generation of artificial earthquake wave.
5.5.1 General
The recommended required response spectra are given in Figures 1 and 2 for the different
seismic qualification levels. The curves relate to 2 %, 5 %, 10 % of the switchgear
assemblies. If damping factor is unknown, 2 % damping is applied.

The total duration of the time-history shall be about 30 s, of which the strong part shall not be
less than 20 s. The duration of strong part shall start when the time-history excitation first
reaches 25 % of its maximum acceleration. It shall end when the time-history excitation drops
below 25 % of its maximum acceleration for the last time.
In some cases, the effect of the vertical acceleration results in negligible stresses and the
vertical excitation may be omitted. In such cases justification for the omission of the vertical
component shall be provided.
5.5.4.1 General
Before and after the tests, the following operating characteristics or settings shall be recorded
or evaluated (when applicable) at the rated supply voltage and at rated filling pressure for
operation p rm :
a) closing time;
b) opening time;
c) time spread between units of one pole;
d) time spread between poles (if multipole tested);
e) gas and/or liquid tightness;
f) resistance measurement of the main current path.
The resonant frequency search test and the damping measurement test shall be carried out
according to IEC 60068-3-3 over the frequency range stated in 5.4.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
5.5.4.4 (standards.iteh.ai)
Seismic qualification test
The test shall be performed by applying one of the procedures stated in the flow charts of
IEC 62271-207:2012
Annex A of IEC 60068-3-3:1991, depending on the test facilities.
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/f47e6cc0-d04d-4656-b706-
1df31fb24588/iec-62271-207-2012
The test shall be performed once at the level chosen in 4.2.
– strains of critical elements (e.g. bushings, flanges, enclosures and support structures);
– deflection of components where significant displacements are expected;
– electrical continuity of the main circuit (if applicable);
– electrical continuity of the auxiliary and control circuit at the rated voltage;
– acceleration.
6.1 General
Dynamic data (damping ratios, natural frequencies, stresses of critical elements as a function
of input acceleration) for analysis shall be obtained by one of the following:
Functional data may be obtained from a previous test performed on a similar test-set.
6.3.1 General
a) Mathematical model:
On the basis of technical information concerning the design characteristics of the
substation, a three-dimensional model of the test-set shall be created. Such a model shall
take into consideration the presence of actual compartments and of their supporting
structures, and shall have sufficient sensitivity to describe the dynamic behaviour of the
test-set in the frequency range being studied.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
b) Calibration of the model:
Using experimental data stated in 6.2, the mathematical model shall be calibrated in order
(standards.iteh.ai)
to assess its dynamic characteristics. Considering the modularity of switchgear
assemblies, the mathematical model implemented and calibrated for the test-set may be
extented to a complete substation, IECprovided that the right adaptations, related to the
62271-207:2012
structural differences existing for the different modules, are considered;
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/f47e6cc0-d04d-4656-b706-
c) Response of the analysis: 1df31fb24588/iec-62271-207-2012
The response, in the frequency range stated in 5.4, using either of the methods described
in the following subclauses has to be determined. Other methods may be used if they are
properly justified.
When the seismic analysis is carried out by the time-history method, the ground motion
acceleration time-histories shall comply with the RRS (see Table 1). Two types of
superimposition may generally be applied depending on the complexity of the analysis:
a) separate calculation of the maximum responses due to each of the three components
(x and y in the horizontal, and z in the vertical direction) of the earthquake motion. The
effects of each single horizontal direction and the vertical direction shall be combined by
taking the square root of the sum of the squares, i.e. (x 2 + z 2 ) 1/2 and (y 2 + z 2 ) 1/2 . The
greater of these two values is used for dimensioning the switchgear assemblies;
b) simultaneous calculation of the maximum responses assuming one of the seismic
horizontal directions and the vertical direction (x with z) and thereafter calculation with the
other horizontal direction and the vertical direction (y with z). This means that after each
time step of the calculation all values (forces, stresses) are superimposed algebraically.
The greater of these two values is used for dimensioning the switchgear assemblies.
6.3.3 Modal and spectrum analysis using the required response spectrum (RRS)
When the dynamic analysis is carried out by the response spectrum method, the following
shall apply:
