This standard is developed according to the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 156-2007 Standard Voltage and the following changes have been made with respect to GB/T 156-2007:
——The nominal voltage of HVDC transmission system is added, forming a DC transmission voltage grade sequence of ±160, (±200), ±320, (±400), ±500, (±660), ±800 and ±1,100 kV (see Table 6);
——1.2V and 1.5V of DC part in the former standard are deleted, 400V preferred value is added, and 440V is changed to supplementary value; the note - "Because the voltage of the primary and secondary cells is below 2.4V, and the choice of the type of cell to be used in various applications will be based on properties other than the voltage, these values are not included in the table." is added (see Table 7);
——Rated voltage value of generator is deleted (see 4.8).
This standard has been redrafted and modified in relation to IEC 60038:2009 IEC Standard Voltages.
Compared with IEC 60038:2009, this standard has some changes in structure. Because 3.4~3.8 of Chapter 2 are deleted, the clause number after Chapter 2 is reduced by 1 compared with IEC 60038:2009.
Technical differences and their causes between this standard and IEC 60038:2009 are as follows:
——According to China's practical situation, in the Chapter – “Scope”, the nominal voltage is changed from "above 100V" to "above 220V"; the DC voltage is changed from "below 750V" to "below 1,500V"; "applicable to HVDC transmission system" is added; Note 1 describing the reason of international standard value is deleted; new Note 1 is added for the convenience of standard use; this standard only retains 50Hz voltage series (see Chapter 1);
——Considering special standard for permissible deviation of supply voltage (GB/T 12325) and the technical requirements are stricter, the normative reference IEC 60364-5-52 in IEC 60038:2009 is deleted;
——The terms like "supply terminal", "supply voltage", "supply voltage range", "utilization voltage" and "utilization voltage range" are deleted, and the term of "rated voltage (for equipment)" is added (see 2.4);
——230/400V and 400/690V specified in IEC Standard Voltages are modified to 220/380V and 380/660V; in addition, 1,140V used in some application fields is added (see Table 1);
——The last paragraph and note in 4.1 of IEC 60038:2009 are deleted (see 3.1);
——For nominal voltage of related traction systems, 3,000V is deleted for the DC part, and only 25,000V is reserved for AC part (see Table 2);
——For standard voltage of AC three-phase systems and related equipment, most voltage grades are reserved (see Tables 3, 4 and 5), and the nominal voltage of AC three-phase systems above 220kV is added (see Table 5);
