Abstract

The purpose of testing switchgear and controlgear assemblies is to access the product compliance interns of design aspects, materials used and manufacturing competency. The latest IEC 62271 series of standards reveals the test requirements and evaluation criteria to judge the performance of the equipment. This paper discloses key aspects of the continuous current test requirements, evaluation and interpretations on medium voltage switchgear components as per latest International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) series of standards. During this study more than sixty-four medium voltage (MV) switchgear are considered for this analysis. The temperature rise values at the significant parts of medium voltage switchgear components with respect to applicable limits are used to judge the behaviour and life of contacts and connections.
