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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) 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.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –

Part 209: Cable connections for gas-insulated metal-enclosed

switchgear for rated voltages above 52 kV – Fluid-filled and extruded
insulation cables – Fluid-filled and dry-type cable terminations

1 Scope

This part of IEC 62271 covers the connection assembly of fluid-filled and extruded cables to
gas-insulated metal enclosed switchgear (GIS), in single- or three-phase arrangements where
the cable terminations are fluid-filled or dry-type and there is a separating insulating barrier
between the cable insulation and the gas insulation of the switchgear.

The purpose of this document is to establish electrical and mechanical interchangeability

between cable terminations and the gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear and to
determine the limits of supply. It complements and amends, if necessary applicable, the
relevant IEC standards. For the purpose of this document the term "switchgear" is used for
"gas-insulated metal enclosed switchgear".

It does not cover directly immersed cable terminations, as described in CIGRE

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Électrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l’IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent
également aux travaux. L’IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l’IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l’IEC

mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l’IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l’IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L’IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l’IEC. L’IEC n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification
indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à l’IEC, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou
mandataires, y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités
nationaux de l’IEC, pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre
dommage de quelque nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais
de justice) et les dépenses découlant de la publication ou de l'utilisation de cette Publication de l’IEC ou de
toute autre Publication de l’IEC, ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.
8) L'attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L'utilisation de publications
référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.
9) L’attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente Publication de l’IEC peuvent faire
l’objet de droits de brevet. L’IEC ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits
de brevets et de ne pas avoir signalé leur existence.

La Norme internationale IEC 62271-209 a été établie par le sous-comité 17C: Ensembles, du

APPAREILLAGE À HAUTE TENSION –

Partie 209: Raccordement de câbles pour appareillage sous enveloppe

métallique à isolation gazeuse de tension assignée supérieure à 52 kV –
Câbles remplis d’un fluide ou à isolation extrudée –
Extrémité de câble de type sec ou remplie d'un fluide

1 Domaine d’application

La présente partie de l'IEC 62271 est applicable à l'assemblage de raccordement de câbles

remplis d’un fluide ou à isolation extrudée au poste sous enveloppe métallique (PSEM), dans
une disposition unipolaire ou tripolaire. Les extrémités de câble sont remplies d’un fluide ou
de type sec et une séparation isolante se trouve entre le fluide d'isolation du câble et
l'isolation gazeuse de l'appareillage.

Le but du présent document est d'établir une interchangeabilité électrique et mécanique entre
les extrémités de câble et l'appareillage sous enveloppe métallique à isolation gazeuse et de
déterminer les limites de fourniture. Elle complète et modifie, le cas échéant, les normes
particulières de l’IEC. Dans le cadre du présent document, le terme «appareillage» est utilisé
pour «appareillage sous enveloppe métallique à isolation gazeuse».

Il ne s’applique pas aux extrémités de câble du type directement immergées telles que
décrites dans la brochure 89 du CIGRÉ [14] 1.
