(Main)Method of sampling insulating liquids
Method of sampling insulating liquids
IEC 60475:2011 is applicable to the procedure to be used for insulating liquids in delivery containers and in electrical equipment such as power and instrument transformers, reactors, bushings, oil-filled cables, oil-filled tank-type capacitors, switchgear and load tap changers. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - withdrawal of askarels; - addition of recommendations concerning general health, safety and environmental protection; - additional details regarding the sampling of oil from electrical equipment, using various types of sampling devices appropriate for the different types of oil tests to be performed in the laboratory.
Verfahren zur Probennahme von Isolierflüssigkeiten
Méthode d'échantillonnage des liquides isolants
La CEI 60475:2011 décrit le mode opératoire d'échantillonnage à utiliser dans des liquides isolants dans les récipients de livraison et les appareils électriques tels que les transformateurs de puissance et de mesure, les réacteurs, les traversées de transformateurs, les câbles à huile fluide, les condensateurs de puissance, l'appareillage de connexion et les changeurs de prise en charge. Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes: - retrait des askarels; - ajout de recommandations en matière de protection générale de la santé, de la sécurité et de l'environnement on été ajoutées en tant qu'Introduction; détails supplémentaires concernant l'échantillonnage de l'huile dans les appareils électriques, à l'aide de différents types de matériels d'échantillonnage correspondant aux différents types d'essais à l'huile à réaliser en laboratoire.
Metoda vzorčenja izolacijskih tekočin
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za postopek za izolacijske tekočine v transportnih vsebnikih in električni opremi, kot so močnostni in instrumentni transformatorji, dušilke, skoznjiki, oljni tlačni kabli, oljni kondenzatorji za nihajni krog, stikalne naprave in bremenski odcepni preklopniki (LTC). Ta standard se uporablja za tekočine z viskoznostjo, ki je pri temperaturi vzorčenja manjša od 1500 mm2/s (ali cSt). Uporablja se za mineralna in nemineralna olja (kot so sintetični estri, naravni estri, rastlinska olja ali silikoni).

METHOD OF SAMPLING INSULATING LIQUIDS
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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 60475 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 10: Fluids
for electrotechnical applications.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1974, and constitutes
a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
– since the publication of the first edition of this standard, askarels have been banned and
therefore have been withdrawn from this second edition;
– recommendations concerning general health, safety and environmental protection have
been added as an Introduction;
– the first edition was mainly about sampling from drums and tank cars. This second edition
addresses in more detail the sampling of oil from electrical equipment, using various types
of sampling devices appropriate for the different types of oil tests to be performed in the
laboratory, including dissolved gas analysis (DGA).

FDIS Report on voting
10/848/FDIS 10/871/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.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
General caution, health, safety and environmental protection
This International Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of the standard to establish appropriate health
and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
The insulating oils which are the subject of this standard should be handled with due regard to
personal hygiene. Direct contact with the eyes may cause irritation. In the case of eye
contact, irrigation with copious quantities of clean running water should be carried out and
medical advice sought.
