BS EN 62146-1:2014+A1:2016 is applicable to grading capacitors used on circuit-breakers.Their function is to control the voltage distribution across the individual interrupter units of a
multi-break circuit-breaker.Grading capacitors can also be used in parallel to the interrupter unit on single break circuitbreakers
to modify the Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV).The grading capacitor is a sub-component for the circuit-breaker and shall be specified in
accordance with the circuit-breaker specifications.This standard applies to grading capacitors falling into one or both of the following categories
for:mounting on air-insulated circuit-breakers;mounting on enclosed circuit-breakers (for example immersed in SF6, in oil, etc.).The testing for each of the above applications is in some cases different.The object of this standard is:to define uniform rules regarding performances, testing and rating;to define specific safety rules;to provide a guidance for installation and operation.Cross References:CISPR 18-2:1986IEC Guide 109IEC 60050IEC 60060-1:2010EN 60060-1:2010IEC 60068-2-17:1994EN 60068-2-17:1994IEC 60071-1:2006EN 60071-1:2006IEC 60270:2000IEC 60270:2000/Corrigendum 1:2001EN 60270:2001IEC 60376:2005EN 60376:2005IEC 60507:1991EN 60507:1993IEC 60567:2011EN 60567:2011IEC 60721-1:1990IEC 60721-1:1990/A1:1992IEC 60721-1:1990/A2:1995EN 60721-1:1995EN 60721-1:1995/A2:1995IEC/TS 60815IEC 61462:2007EN 61462:2007IEC 62155:2003EN 62155:2003IEC 62271-1:2007EN 62271-1:2008IEC 62271-100:2008EN 62271-100:2009IEC 62271-203:2003EN 62271-203:2004IEC/TR 62271-300:2006IEC 60068-2-11EN 60068-2-11IEC 60068-2-42EN 60068-2-42Incorporates the following:Amendment, November 2016.
