Abstract

Standard GOST R 52565-2006 defines classification, rated characteristics, type and routine tests, insulation and switching requirements, mechanical and electrical performance, markings and documentation for alternating‑current circuit‑breakers with nominal voltages from 3 kV to 750 kV. The document harmonizes key provisions with IEC 62271‑100 and related IEC documents to align Russian technical requirements with international practice.

Scope

The standard applies to alternating‑current circuit‑breakers (including their drives) intended for switching under normal and fault conditions in three‑phase AC systems of 50 Hz with nominal voltages from 3 kV up to and including 750 kV. It covers classification, rated values and characteristics, technical requirements, test methods (type and routine), markings, and documentation necessary for design, manufacture and testing of such circuit‑breakers. The standard is used for both indoor and outdoor equipment and for breakers installed in metal-enclosed switchgear.

Key topics and requirements

• Voltage range and rated values: nominal system voltages from 3 kV to 750 kV and associated rated insulation and switching characteristics.
• Classification by installation type (indoor, outdoor, within metal‑enclosed switchgear) and by construction/arc‑extinguishing medium.
• Electrical performance requirements: rated currents, short‑circuit breaking and making capacities, duty cycles and switching sequence tests.
• Insulation and dielectric tests, including impulse and power‑frequency withstand voltages and clearances.
• Transient recovery voltage (TRV) / recovery characteristic guidance used for selecting breakers and for coordination with system parameters.
• Mechanical performance, endurance (operations), interlocks, drives and auxiliary equipment requirements.
• Reference and alignment with IEC standards (notably IEC 62271‑100 and IEC 60694) where applicable.

Typical use and users

Primary users are power system designers, utility engineers, switchgear and circuit‑breaker manufacturers, testing and certification laboratories, procurement/specification writers, and maintenance personnel. The standard is used when specifying, testing, selecting and verifying high‑voltage circuit‑breakers for substations, transmission and distribution systems and industrial high‑voltage installations. Manufacturers often cite compliance with GOST R 52565‑2006 when supplying equipment to markets that require Russian national standards.

Related standards

Key related standards and documents referenced or harmonized with GOST R 52565‑2006 include IEC 62271‑100 (high‑voltage switchgear — circuit‑breakers), IEC 60694 (common specifications for high‑voltage switchgear), older national standards such as GOST 687‑78 (where applicable), and other GOST/GOST‑R documents dealing with surge arresters, insulation and test methods. Users commonly consult the IEC 62271 series for complementary technical details and international test practices.
