© IEC: 1996– 9 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION––––––––––INSULATION CO-ORDINATION –Part 2: Application guideFOREWORD1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object to the IEC is to promoteinternational cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organizationfor Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the twoorganizations.2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subjectof patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard IEC 71-2, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 28: Insulationco-ordination.This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1976 and constitutes atechnical revision.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:FDISReport on voting28/115/FDIS28/117/RVDFull information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report onvoting indicated in the above table.Annex A forms an integral part of this standard.Annexes B to J are for information only.SIST IEC 60071-2:1996

© IEC: 1996– 11 –INSULATION CO-ORDINATION –Part 2: Application guide1 General1.1 ScopeThis part of IEC 71 constitutes an application guide and deals with the selection of insulationlevels of equipment or installations for three-phase electrical systems. Its aim is to giveguidance for the determination of the rated withstand voltages for ranges I and II of IEC 71-1and to justify the association of these rated values with the standardized highest voltages forequipment.This association is for insulation co-ordination purposes only. The requirements for humansafety are not covered by this application guide.It covers three-phase systems with nominal voltages above 1 kV. The values derived orproposed herein are generally applicable only to such systems. However, the conceptspresented are also valid for two-phase or single-phase systems.It covers phase-to-earth, phase-to-phase and longitudinal insulation.This application guide is not intended to deal with routine tests. These are to be specified bythe relevant product committees.The content of this guide strictly follows the flow chart of the insulation co-ordination processpresented in figure 1 of IEC 71-1. Clauses 2 to 5 correspond to the squares in this flow chartand give detailed information on the concepts governing the insulation co-ordination processwhich leads to the establishment of the required withstand levels.The guide emphasizes the necessity of considering, at the very beginning, all origins, allclasses and all types of voltage stresses in service irrespective of the range of highest voltagefor equipment. Only at the end of the process, when the selection of the standard withstandvoltages takes place, does the principle of covering a particular service voltage stress by astandard withstand voltage apply. Also, at this final step, the guide refers to the correlationmade in IEC 71-1 between the standard insulation levels and the highest voltage forequipment.The annexes contain examples and detailed information which explain or support the conceptsdescribed in the main text, and the basic analytical techniques used.1.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,constitute provisions of this part of IEC 71. At the time of publication, the editions indicatedwere valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements basedon this part of IEC 71 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recenteditions of the normative documents indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintainregisters of currently valid International Standards.SIST IEC 60071-2:1996

The voltage stresses within these classes have severalorigins:–continuous (power-frequency) voltages: originate from the system operation undernormal operating conditions;–temporary overvoltages: they can originate from faults, switching operations such as loadrejection, resonance conditions, non-linearities (ferroresonances) or by a combination ofthese;–slow-front overvoltages: they can originate from faults, switching operations or directlightning strokes to the conductors of overhead lines;–fast-front overvoltages: they can originate from switching operations, lightning strokes orfaults;–very-fast-front overvoltages: they can originate from faults or switching operations in gas-insulated substations (GIS);–combined overvoltages: they may have any origin mentioned above. They occur betweenthe phases of a
system (phase-to-phase), or on the same phase between separated partsof a system (longitudinal).All the preceding overvoltage stresses except combined overvoltages are discussed asseparate items under 2.3. Combined overvoltages are discussed where
