EN 61230:2008

Live working - Portable equipment for earthing or earthing and short-circuiting

IEC 61230:2008 is applicable to portable equipment, with or without matching connection points, for temporary earthing or earthing and short-circuiting of electrically isolated or de-energized a.c. and d.c. installations, distribution and transmission networks, whether they are overhead or underground or of low or high voltage. This standard covers equipment comprising an earthing or a short-circuiting or an earthing and short-circuiting device and insulating component. The performance of equipment, devices and components covered by this standard is based on electro-dynamic and electro-thermal effects acting during short-circuit. The withstand capability of the devices and equipment is expressed by their rated values of current, time and peak factor. No rated voltage is given, but the geometrical dimensions of the equipment are also linked to the voltage of the installation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993. It constitutes a technical revision. The major changes are: - extension of the scope to cover the use of equipment on d.c. installations; - extension of the use of aluminium to all conductive parts of the device; - possibility of using this standard for separate components of the equipment; - general revision of requirements and tests; - revision of existing annexes; - introduction of a new informative Annex D giving guidelines for determination of the equivalent r.m.s. value of a short-circuit current and of a new normative Annex F on classification of defects.

Arbeiten unter Spannung - Ortsveränderliche Geräte zum Erden oder Erden und Kurzschließen

Travaux sous tension - Equipements portables de mise à la terre ou de mise à la terre et en court-circuit

La CEI 61230:2008 est applicable aux équipements portables avec ou sans points de connexion assortis, pour mise temporaire à la terre ou mise à la terre et en court-circuit des installations électriques à courant alternatif ou à courant continu, isolées ou hors tension, des réseaux de distribution et de transport, qu'ils soient aériens ou souterrains et de tension basse ou haute. La présente norme couvre l'équipement comprenant un dispositif de mise à la terre ou de court-circuit, ou de mise à la terre et en court-circuit, et un composant isolant. La performance des équipements, dispositifs et composants couverts par la présente norme, est basée sur les effets électrodynamiques et électrothermiques mis en jeu durant le court-circuit. La capacité de tenue des équipements et dispositifs est exprimée par leurs valeurs assignées de courant, de temps et de facteur de crête. Aucune tension assignée n'est donnée mais les dimensions géométriques de l'équipement sont liées à la tension de l'installation. La seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 1993. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Les principaux changements sont: - l'extension du domaine d'application pour couvrir l'usage des équipements sur des installations à courant continu; - l'extension de l'usage de l'aluminium à toutes les parties conductrices du dispositif; - la possibilité d'utiliser la présente norme pour des composants séparés de ces équipements; - la révision générale des exigences et des essais; - la révision des annexes existantes; - l'introduction d'une nouvelle Annexe D informative proposant un guide pour déterminer la valeur efficace équivalente d'un courant de court-circuit et d'une nouvelle Annexe F normative traitant de la classification des défauts.
