venting purpose (Note: This should not be confused with the minor leaks due to the
IP3X protection at partitions). There shall not be any arc venting flaps between
compartments. Further, any partitions or shutters shall not blow away from their
respective positions during the test. The switchgear panels shall be designed for
automatic pressure relief. During normal service conditions, these arc venting
devices shall not permit any vermin, dust and shall remain damp-proof. In case of
additional chimney or duct will be used for some switchgear classes, it shall be
designed in such a way to avoid blocking of direct and easy access to bus bar

- IAC-AFLR @ 25.5kA for 1 sec for Group-A Panels
- IAC-AFLR @ 31.5kA for 1 sec for Group-B Panels
4. The additional acceptance criteria (as stated below) over and above those stated in
the IEC 62771-200 Annexure-A, need to be fulfilled for acceptance of the Internal Arc
Tests. The additional criteria are as follows:
- Any partitions or shutters between the compartments shall not blow-off from
their respective positions during the test
- The gas or vapour escaping under pressure through ventilating openings and vent
outlets does not endanger the operator
- There shall be no venting of flame, vapour or gases through other compartments
- The equipment in the adjacent compartments is not affected.

- The internal arc testing to be done while VT and the other internal components
are fitted in their positions in the concerned switchgear panel, to prove that VT
and the other internal components arrangement do not affect the safe clearance of
the internal arc fault. The type test report should clearly show this requirement.
5. The switchgear panels that satisfy above mentioned requirements (including the
additional requirements) is designed and manufactured, in principle, to prevent the
occurrence of internal faults. However, in the event of occurrence of the inter-fault,
the panels shall safely clear the fault with the requirements specified above.

the supply directly taken from the feeder through Capacitive voltage detector,
instead of separate auxiliary power source, to ensure validity of interlock.
