can equipment constructedfor 50Hz be tested at 60 Hz?
can equipment constructedfor 50Hz be tested at 60 Hz?
(OP)
should the asymmetrical factor for the short-circuit test be according to the test frequency or to the equipment rated frequency?






RE: can equipment constructedfor 50Hz be tested at 60 Hz?
The attached paragrapgh is from IEC62271-100
6.103.2 Frequency
Circuit-breakers shall be tested at rated frequency with a tolerance of ±8 %.
However, for convenience of testing, some deviations from the above tolerance are allowable;
for example, when circuit-breakers rated at 50 Hz are tested at 60 Hz and vice versa, care
should be exercised in the interpretation of the results, taking into account all significant facts
such as the type of the circuit-breaker and the type of test performed.
