Live working - Minimum approach distances for a.c. systems in the voltage range 72,5 kV to 800 kV - A method of calculation
Describes a method for calculating the minimum approach distances for live working, at maximum voltages between 72,5 kV and 800 kV. This standard addresses system overvoltages, and the working air distances between parts and/or workers at different potentials. The required withstand voltage and minimum approach distances calculated by the method described in this standard are evaluated taking into consideration the following: - workers are trained for, and skilled in, working in the live working zone; - the anticipated overvoltages do not exceed the value selected for the determination of the required minimum approach distance; - transient overvoltages are the determining overvoltages; - tool insulation has no continuous film of moisture present on the surface; - no lightning is seen or heard within 10 km of the work site; - allowance is made for the effect of conducting components of tools; - the effect of altitude on the electric strength is taken into consideration. For conditions other than the above, the evaluation of the minimum approach distances may require specific data, derived by other calculation or obtained from additional laboratory investigations on the actual situation.

Travaux sous tension - Distances minimales d'approche pour des réseaux à courant alternatif de tension comprise entre 72,5 kV et 800 kV - Une méthode de calcul
Décrit une méthode de calcul des distances minimales d'approche pour des travaux sous tension réalisés à des tensions maximales comprises entre 72,5 kV et 800 kV. Cette norme traite des surtensions de réseau et des distances de travail dans l'air entre des pièces et/ou des travailleurs à des potentiels différents. La tension de tenue requise et les distances minimales d'approche calculées suivant la méthode décrite dans cette norme sont évaluées en prenant en compte ce qui suit: - les travailleurs sont formés et qualifiés pour travailler dans la zone de travail sous tension; - les surtensions attendues ne dépassent pas la valeur choisie pour la détermination de la distance minimale d'approche requise; - les surtensions transitoires sont les surtensions déterminantes; - l'isolation des outils ne présente pas sur la surface un film continu d'humidité; - aucun éclair n'est vu ni entendu à moins de 10 km du lieu de travail; - l'influence des parties conductrices des outils est prise en compte; - l'effet de l'altitude sur la tenue électrique est pris en compte. Pour des conditions autres que celles ci-dessus, l'évaluation des distances minimales d'approche peut exiger des données spécifiques, provenant d'autres calculs ou obtenues à partir d'études additionnelles en laboratoire sur la situation concrète.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61472 has been prepared by technical committee 78: Live
working.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61472 published in 1998.
This second edition constitutes a technical revision.
This document has been prepared according to the requirements of IEC 61477: Live working
– Minimum requirements for the utilization of tools, devices and equipment, where applicable.
61472 © IEC:2004 – 9 –
Significant changes with regard to the first edition are the following: this second edition
– revises the application range of this method of calculation to 72,5 kV and above;
– expands in a detailed manner the calculation of the influence of floating objects;
– refers closely to the relevant brochures of CIGRE and to IEC 60071-2.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
78/582/FDIS 78/586/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
