21、 applies to external fuses used with high-voltage capacitors according to IEC 60871-1, Shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V Part 1: General. IEC 60871-1 is applicable to both capacitor units and capacitor banks intended to be used, particularly, for power-fact

22、or correction of a.c. power systems, and also to capacitors intended for use in power filter circuits. Fuses according to this standard are intended to clear either faults inside a capacitor unit to permit continued operation of the remaining parts of the bank in which the unit is connected (unit fu

23、ses) or faults on the whole capacitor bank to isolate the bank from the system (line fuses). In this standard the terms “capacitive current” and “inductive current” are used to indicate test currents that have a leading or lagging power factor, respectively, and in which the circuit contains predomi

24、nantly capacitive or inductive components. The word “capacitor“ is used when it is not necessary to lay particular stress upon the different meanings of the word “capacitor unit“ or “capacitor bank“. In some cases, fuses tested only to IEC 60282-1 or IEC 60282-2 may be suitable for use with capacito

25、rs if they are not required to interrupt capacitive currents (e.g. if capacitive currents cannot flow, or if they are acting as a “back-up”, to provide high inductive current breaking, to other devices that will clear capacitive currents). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or

35、General These fuses are not a substitute for a mechanical switching device, but when forming a part of a mechanical switching device such as a fused switch or a fused disconnector, they shall comply with this standard. When fuses are used for the external protection of a capacitor unit or a capacito

36、r bank (line fuses), their voltages and breaking ratings shall be adequate for the system. Fuses according to this standard shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60282-1 or IEC 60282-2, except those which are specifically excluded in this standard. The fuse is connected in series with the unit(s

37、) that the fuse is intended to isolate if the unit(s) become(s) faulty. The range in currents and voltages for the fuse is therefore dependent on the characteristics of the capacitor and the bank in which the fuse is connected as well as the parameters of the supply circuit. The operation of an exte

38、rnal fuse is, in general, determined by the following two factors: a) the power-frequency fault current resulting from either a partial or complete capacitor failure; b) the discharge energy from any units in parallel with the fault. However, this standard gives a method of separate checking of thes

39、e factors. These requirements are valid for capacitors switched by a switching device with a very low probability of restrike during interruption. If this is not the case, other requirements are to be agreed upon. As used in this standard, Uris the rated voltage of the capacitor unit and Urfis the r

40、ated voltage of the capacitor fuse. 4.2 Breaking requirements 4.2.1 Rated maximum capacitive breaking current The preferred rated maximum capacitive breaking currents for capacitor fuses are 1 kA r.m.s., 2,5 kA r.m.s., 3,15 kA r.m.s., 4 kA r.m.s., and 5 kA r.m.s Other values shall be the subject of

41、an agreement between manufacturer and user. 4.2.2 Rated capacitor discharge energy A rated capacitor discharge energy (joule rating) is assigned to a fuse based on the energy stored in a capacitor test bank prior to the time it is discharged through the fuse in the capacitor discharge breaking tests

42、 (5.5). Values should be selected from R10 series with a minimum of 10 kJ. The preferred value for current-limiting fuses is 40 kJ. To assign an “unlimited” rated capacitor discharge energy see 5.5.2. BS EN 60549:2013 8 60549 IEC:2013 The preferred frequency for the capacitor discharge breaking test

43、s of 5.5 is: f = 0,8 UrfWhere f is in hertz and Urfis the rated voltage of the fuse, in volts. 5 Type tests 5.1 General To comply with this standard, fuses shall be subjected to the tests specified in Table 1. For fuses belonging to a homogeneous series as defined in IEC 60282-1 and IEC 60282-2, it

44、is allowed that tests made on a reduced number of current ratings shall be valid for the other current ratings. Detailed information is given in 5.4.1 and 5.5.1.

47、e not likely to flow. Examples of such cases are capacitors having only a single internal group of elements, connected in delta or grounded star without capacitor units in series. dUnusual applications, such as back-to-back banks on the same pole with each bank having its own line fuse could require

48、 the fuse to be capable of interrupting capacitive discharge currents. Since the size of these banks would generally be small, most line fuses could satisfactorily handle the discharge currents. Consult the fuse manufacturer for these types of applications. 5.2 Test practices The fuse shall be new,

49、clean and in good condition. The fuse-link shall be tested in a fuse-base or directly mounted as specified by the manufacturer of the fuse-link. In making tests of a test duty within a series of renewable fuse-links, only the fuse-elements, refill units and parts normally replaceable shall be replaced. A new fuse-carrier shall be used for tests of the other test duty. 5.3 Power frequency inductive current tests These tests shall comprise the following: Test duties 1 and 2 according to IEC 602
