62271Regelverket

The 62271-Regelverket is a set of technical standards for high-voltage switchgear, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2007. The term "Regelverket" is Swedish and translates to "standard regime." The 62271 series of standards provides detailed requirements and guidelines for the design, testing, and installation of high-voltage switchgear, which is used to control and protect electrical power systems.

The 62271-Regelverket covers a broad range of high-voltage switchgear, including circuit breakers, disconnectors, earthing switches, and current transformers. The standards address various aspects, such as performance, safety, and environmental considerations. They also include requirements for documentation, testing, and inspection of the switchgear.

The 62271 series of standards are widely adopted and referenced in the electrical industry, particularly in Europe and other regions where high-voltage switchgear is used extensively. They provide a common framework for the design, manufacturing, and installation of high-voltage switchgear, which ensures consistency, reliability, and safety in the operation of electrical power systems.

Compliance with the 62271-Regelverket is usually a mandatory requirement for suppliers and manufacturers of high-voltage switchgear. The standards are reviewed and updated periodically to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, and lessons learned from practical experience. The 62271 series of standards are available from the IEC in various languages, including English, French, and others.
