BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1:2011

What is BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1 - Electrical equipment condition monitoring for NPP about?

The IEC/IEEE 62582 series is a European Standard series that discusses various requirements of Instrumentation and control important to safety for nuclear power plants. BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1 is the first part of the IEC/IEEE 62582 , and specifies requirements for the application of the other parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 related to specific methods for condition monitoring in electrical equipment important to the safety of nuclear power plants. BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1 also includes requirements that are common to all methods. IEC/IEEE 62582 specifies condition monitoring methods in sufficient detail to enhance the accuracy and repeatability and provide standard formats for reporting the results. The methods specified are applicable to electrical equipment containing organic or polymeric materials. Some methods are specially designed for the measurement of the condition of a limited range of equipment whilst others can be applied to all types of equipment for which the organic parts are accessible. Although the scope of IEC/IEEE 62582 is limited to the application of instrumentation and control systems important to safety, the condition monitoring methods may be applicable also to other components which include organic or polymeric materials.
