This document supersedes EN 50069:1991 and EN 50069:1991/A1:1993.
This document has been revised by CENELEC Technical Committee 17AC, "High-voltage switchgear and
controlgear". It supplements the relevant product standards on gas-insulated switchgear and controlgear in
that it provides specific requirements for pressurized high-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
The present EN has been written to get a European specification for the design, construction, testing,
inspection and certification of pressurized enclosures used in high-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
In this respect, this document constitutes the exclusion of HV switchgear from the scope of the Directive
2014/68/EU (superseding 97/23/EC) concerning pressure equipment. Article 1, 2. (l) excludes “enclosures
for high-voltage electrical equipment such as switchgear, controlgear, transformers, and rotating machines”
from the scope of the Directive.
This standard deals with gas-filled welded composite enclosures of cast and wrought aluminium alloys. For
different enclosure materials, other European Standards are available.
Introduction
This document covers the requirements for the design, construction, testing, inspection and certification of
gas-filled enclosures for use specifically in high-voltage switchgear and controlgear, or for associated gas-
filled equipment.
Special consideration is given to these enclosures for the following reasons.
(a) The enclosures usually form the containment of electrical equipment, thus their shape is determined by
electrical rather than mechanical requirements.
(b) The enclosures are installed in restricted access areas and the equipment is operated by instructed,
authorized persons only.
(c) As the thorough drying of the inert, non-corrosive gas-filling medium is fundamental to the satisfactory
operation of the electrical equipment, the gas is periodically checked. For this reason, no internal corrosion
allowance is required on the wall thickness of these enclosures.
(d) The enclosures are subjected to only small fluctuations of pressure as the gas-filling density will be
maintained within close limits to ensure satisfactory insulating and arc-quenching properties. Therefore, the
enclosures are not liable to fatigue due to pressure cycling.
(e) The operating pressure is relatively low.
Due to the foregoing reasons and to ensure maximum service continuity as well as to reduce the risk of
moisture and dust entering the enclosures which could endanger safe electrical operation of the switchgear,
no pressure tests should be carried out after installation and before placing in service and no periodic
inspection of the enclosure interiors or pressure tests should be carried out after the equipment is placed in
service.
1 Scope
This document applies to welded composite enclosures of cast and wrought aluminium alloy pressurized
with dry air, inert gases (e.g. sulphur hexafluoride or nitrogen or a mixture of such gases), used in indoor and
outdoor installations of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear with rated voltages 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 concerning gas-filled compartments with design pressure
higher than 300 kPa relative pressure (gauge);
— above 52 kV concerning all gas-filled compartments.
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.
