PD IEC TS 63042-301:2018

What is PD IEC TS 63042-301-On-site acceptance tests for UHV AC transmission systems about?

PD IEC TS 63042-301 is the 301^st part of a multi-series standard that covers design specifications for on-site acceptance tests for UHV AC transmission systems prevents start-up issues after the delivery and installation of the electrical equipment.

PD IEC TS 63042-301 applies to on-site acceptance tests of electrical equipment with the highest voltages of AC transmission system exceeding 800 kV.

The electrical equipment exceeding 800 kV includes the following items:

• Power transformers and circuit breakers
• Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS)
• Surge arresters and shunt reactors
• Voltage and current transformers
• Series compensators and insulators
• Disconnectors and earthing switches
• High-speed earthing switches

Who is PD IEC TS 63042-301-On-site acceptance tests for UHV AC transmission systems for?

PD IEC TS 63042-301 for on-site acceptance tests for UHV AC transmission systems applies to:

• Electricity power grids
• Regulatory bodies
• Electrical and design engineers
• Quality and safety assurance services
• Manufacturers of equipment for UHV AC transmission systems

Why should you use PD IEC TS 63042-301-On-site acceptance tests for UHV AC transmission systems?

With the increase in voltage levels, the reliability and safety of high-voltage electric equipment is facing new challenges. On-site acceptance tests for newly installed electrical equipment are an important approach to judge whether the equipment is normal or abnormal after transportation and installation.

PD IEC TS 63042-301 provides you guidance on tests and checks for power transformers, circuit breakers, GIS, surge arresters, shunt reactors, series compensator and more that enables testing of equipment, ensuring the safety and operability in transmission systems.

Guidance in PD IEC TS 63042-301 enables you to develop on-site acceptance tests to ensure the performance and reliability of equipment in UHV AC transmission systems.
