MEDIUM VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR
These tests verify that the switchgear has suficient capability to withstand the lightning impulse and the power fre-quency voltage. The power frequency withstand voltage test is carried out as a type test,
Home / Voltage switch busbar bushing withstand voltage
The IEC 61439 standard applies to busbar assemblies that will be installed in electrical applications with a voltage rating up to 1000 V (for AC) and 1500 V (for DC). This standard defines the design verification, test requirements, and thermal performance of the assemblies. ents), and the electrical equipment, formed by the internal connections and by the incoming and outgoing termina is regard, there has been an evolution which has resulted in the replacement of the previous Standard IEC 60439 with the present Stand rd IEC 61439. Busbars and their supports are to be designed to withstand the mechanical stresses which may arise during short-circuits.
These tests verify that the switchgear has suficient capability to withstand the lightning impulse and the power fre-quency voltage. The power frequency withstand voltage test is carried out as a type test,
