This Technical Report may be used for the extension of the validity of type tests performed on one test object with a defined set of ratings to another switchgear assembly of the same family with a different set of ratings or different arrangements of components. It supports the selection of representative test objects composed of functional units of a family of switchgear and controlgear aimed at the optimization of type tests in order to perform a consistent conformity assessment.
This Technical Report utilises a combination of sound technical and physical principles, manufacturer and user experience and calculations to establish guidance for the extension of validity of type tests, covering various design and rating aspects.
