IEC 62271-215:2021 is applicable to;phase comparators;designed to be plugged into the;testing points;of a;voltage detecting and indicating system;(;VDIS;) according to IEC 62271-213, to give an indication of the result of a phase comparison.
The main usage is to provide a clear evidence of the phase relationship between two energized parts of a high-voltage network, at the same;nominal voltage;and frequency before coupling them.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61243-5 published in 1997 and the first edition of IEC 62271-206 published in 2011. This edition constitutes a merging of the content of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-206.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous editions of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-206:;the document does not include the specific;phase comparators;(SPCs) as defined in IEC 61243-5, which was specific to manufacturers, and takes back the technical principles of the universal phase comparator (UPC) for;VDIS;of all manufacturers;the phase comparator for sequential connected operation is introduced to facilitate the operation of phase comparation of large MV panels.
