Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

GB/T20995-2020 is the authoritative standard for the testing of thyristor valves for static VAR compensation devices (SVCs) in my country. It is equivalent to the IEC61954:2017 international standard, and focuses on standardizing the testing requirements for thyristor controlled reactors (TCRs), thyristor switched reactors (TSRs) and thyristor switched capacitors (TSCs) valves.


Major Technical Updates

Main Revision Points 2007 Edition 2020 Edition
Test Safety Factor 1.3(Partial Test) Uniformly adjusted to 1.15
Partial Discharge Test Unspecified Requirements New Factory Test Requirements
Redundant Thyristor Stage Processing Unspecified Proportional Factor Added kn=Ntot/(Nt-Nr) Calculation Formula

Detailed explanation of key test items

1. Insulation test system

The standard constructs a three-level insulation verification system:

  1. Valve end-to-ground insulation: Including AC withstand (1min/10min) and 1.2/50μs lightning impulse test
  2. Valve-to-valve insulation: Special requirements for multiple valve units (MVU)
  3. Valve-to-valve insulation: 20/200μs operation impulse test as the core

2. Innovations in operation tests

The new standard specifically emphasizes:

  • The periodic trigger test needs to reproduce the critical period of 0.2ms before current zero crossing to 1ms after current zero crossing
  • The loss margin of temperature rise test is increased from 5% to the most severe working condition + 5%
  • A fault handling mechanism that allows 3 repair opportunities is clearly defined

Implementation suggestions

Test scheme optimization

Differentiated test strategies are recommended for different types of valve bodies:

Valve type Key test items Special requirements
TCR valve 5.4.1 Periodic trigger test The full control range of αmin~αmax needs to be verified
TSC valve 6.4.1 Overcurrent test Bidirectional current pulse verification
MVU structure 5.2/6.2 Valve test Phase-to-phase insulation verification is required

Technology evolution direction

The standard reflects three major technological trends:

  1. Stricter electromagnetic compatibility requirements: New 7.2.3 Non-periodic triggered EMC verification
  2. Quantitative reliability management: Table 2 specifies the number of faulty thyristor stages allowed
  3. Test efficiency improved: 10min short-time test replaces the original 30min long-time test
