UNE-EN 62271-212:2017

This part of IEC 62271 specifies the service conditions, rated characteristics, general structural requirements and test methods of the assemblies of the main electrical functional units of a high-voltage/low-voltage Distribution Substation, duly interconnected, for alternating current of rated operating voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV on the high-voltage side, service frequency 50 or 60 Hz. This assembly is to be cable-connected to the network, and intended for installation within an indoor or outdoor closed electrical operating area. A Compact Equipment Assembly for Distribution Substation (CEADS) as defined in this standard is designed and tested to be a single product with a single serial number and one set of documentation. The functions of a CEADS are: - switching and control for the operation of the high-voltage circuit(s); - protection of the high-voltage/low-voltage transformer functional unit; - high voltage/low-voltage transformation; - switching and control for the operation and protection of the low-voltage feeders. However relevant provisions of this standard are also applicable to designs where not all of these functions exist (e.g. equipment comprising only high-voltage/low-voltage transformation and switching and control for the operation and protection of the low-voltage feeder functions or equipment without switching and control for the operation of the high-voltage circuit(s)). NOTE For the purpose of this standard a self-protected transformer is considered not as a CEADS, but as a functional unit, designed and type tested to its own product standard IEC 60076-13:2006.
