This part of IEC 60071 constitutes application guidelines and deals with the selection of insulation levels of equipment or installations for three-phase a.c. systems. Its aim is to give guidance for the determination of the rated withstand voltages for ranges I and II of IEC 60071- 1 and to justify the association of these rated values with the standardized highest voltages for equipment.
This association is for insulation co-ordination purposes only. The requirements for human safety are not covered by this document.
This document covers three-phase a.c. systems with nominal voltages above 1 kV. The values derived or proposed herein are generally applicable only to such systems. However, the concepts presented are also valid for two-phase or single-phase systems.
This document covers phase-to-earth, phase-to-phase and longitudinal insulation.
This document is not intended to deal with routine tests. These are to be specified by the relevant product committees.
The content of this document strictly follows the flow chart of the insulation co-ordination process presented in Figure 1 of IEC 60071-1:2019. Clauses 5 to 8 correspond to the squares in this flow chart and give detailed information on the concepts governing the insulation coordination process which leads to the establishment of the required withstand levels.
This document emphasizes the necessity of considering, at the very beginning, all origins, all classes and all types of voltage stresses in service irrespective of the range of highest voltage for equipment. Only at the end of the process, when the selection of the standard withstand voltages takes place, does the principle of covering a particular service voltage stress by a standard withstand voltage apply. Also, at this final step, this document refers to the correlation made in IEC 60071-1 between the standard insulation levels and the highest voltage for equipment.
The annexes contain examples and detailed information which explain or support the concepts described in the main text, and the basic analytical techniques used.

IEC 61857-32:2019 series is focused on applications where other possible factors need to be incorporated to evaluate any influence on the performance of the electrical insulation system (EIS). Multi-factor evaluation is the most complex type of project to design and conduct. Clear guidelines are needed to give the user of this document a uniform approach and a method to analyse the test results. This document is for applications where the stresses are some combination of other factors of influence identified in IEC 60505. The multi-factor stresses are applied during the diagnostic portion of each test cycle. A few examples of other factors of influence or multi-factor stresses are: – high vibration; – submersion in oils, water, or solutions; – voltage higher than the test voltage of the reference EIS; – decreased cold shock temperature.

This document is applicable to ceramic insulated outdoor bushings for highest voltages for equipment of 24 kV and 36 kV, with rated currents of 5 kA and 8 kA for insulating liquid filled transformers and frequencies from 15 Hz up to 60 Hz.
This document establishes dimensions to ensure interchangeability and adequate mounting of bushings.
Two types of construction are specified, type A and type B, both types for highest voltages for equipment 24 kV and 36 kV and rated currents of 5 kA and 8 kA. The mechanical stresses of the conductor tube define the difference between type A and type B. The conductor tube of type A is axially and radially fixed in the top of the bushing. The inner line terminal of the transformer can be flexible and without any special support for the lower end of the conductor tube.
For new installations bushings of Type A are expected to be used. Type B bushings can be supplied at the request of a customer.
In case of type B, the conductor tube is only radially fixed in the top of the bushing. In that case, a rigid support is mounted to fix the lower end of the conductor tube (for example, in combination with a drip proofed sealing end). The drip proofed sealing end is often required in the service requirements. In this case, it is not possible to use type A because of the existing double fixation. Therefore, both bushing types A and B are be specified.
The condition for the usage of type B is that the drip-proof sealing end is able to withstand the mechanical stress in axial direction.

The mechanical stresses of the conductor tube define the difference between type A and type B. The conductor tube of type A is axially and radially fixed in the top of the bushing. The inner line terminal of the transformer can be flexible and without any special support for the lower end of the conductor tube. For new installations bushings of Type A are expected to be used. Type B bushings can be supplied at the request of a customer. In case of type B, the conductor tube is only radially fixed in the top of the bushing. In that case, a rigid support is mounted to fix the lower end of the conductor tube (for example, in combination with a drip proofed sealing end). The drip proofed sealing end is often required in the service requirements. In this case, it is not possible to use type A because of the existing double fixation. Therefore, both bushing types A and B are specified. The condition for the usage of type B is that the drip-proof sealing end is able to withstand the mechanical stress in axial direction.
