High-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Gas-filled cast aluminium alloy enclosures
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2016 | 30 |
This European Standard applies to cast aluminium alloy enclosures pressurized with dry air, inert gases, for example sulphur hexafluoride or nitrogen or a mixture of such gases, used in indoor or outdoor installations of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear above 1 kV, where the gas is used principally for its dielectric and/or arc-quenching properties with rated voltages
-
above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV and with gas-filled enclosures with design pressure higher than 300 kPa relative pressure (gauge);
-
and with rated voltage above 52 kV.
The enclosures comprise parts of electrical equipment not necessarily limited to the following examples:
-
Circuit-breakers
-
Switch-disconnectors
-
Disconnectors
-
Earthing switches
-
Current transformers
-
Voltage transformers
-
Surge arrestors
-
Busbars and connections
-
etc.
The scope also covers enclosures of pressurized components such as the centre chamber of live tank switchgear, gas-insulated current transformers, etc.
