Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 4: Procédures de manipulation de l'hexafluorure de soufre (SF6)

La CEI 62271-4:2013 s'applique aux procédures de manipulation du SF6 lors de l'installation, de la mise en service, du fonctionnement normal ou anormal, et de l'élimination en fin de vie de l'appareillage à haute tension. Cette première édition annule et remplace la première édition de la CEI/TR 62271-303 parue en 2008. Cette première édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:  a) remplacement de la description des effets potentiels sur la santé des produits de décomposition du SF6 (anciennement Annexe D de la CEI/TR 62271-303:2008) par les méthodes de calcul pour évaluer les effets potentiels sur la santé des produits de décomposition du SF6 (voir Annexe H);  b) ajout d'informations concernant la régénération cryogénique du SF6 (voir Annexe I);  c) ajout de procédures de manipulation pour les mélanges contenant du SF6 les plus courants (voir Annexe J).

Visokonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 4. del: Ravnanje z žveplovim heksafluoridom (SF6) (IEC 62271-4:2013)

Ta del standarda IEC 62271 se uporablja za postopke za ravnanje z žveplovim heksafluoridom (SF6) med vgrajevanjem, zagonom, normalnim in nenormalnim delovanjem, odstranitvijo po koncu življenjske dobe visokonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav. Ti postopki se obravnavajo kot minimalne zahteve za zagotavljanje varnosti osebja, ki dela s SF6, in čim večjo omejitev emisij SF6 v okolje. Ta standard se na splošno uporablja tudi za plinske zmesi, ki vsebujejo SF6. Posebnosti, ki veljajo za ravnanje z njimi, so obravnavane v dodatku J.

and its mixtures

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 62271-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 17A: High-voltage
switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 17: Switchgear and controlgear.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC/TR 62271-303 published in
2008.
This first edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant
technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the description of the potential effects on health of SF by-products (former Annex D of
6
IEC/TR 62271-303:2008) has been replaced by the calculation methods for evaluating of
the potential effects on health of SF by-products (see Annex H);
6
b) information about cryogenic reclaim of SF .have been added (see Annex I);
6
c) handling procedures for the most popular SF mixtures have been added (see Annex J).

HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR –

Part 4: Handling procedures for sulphur hexafluoride (SF )
6
and its mixtures



1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 62271 applies to the procedures for handling of SF during installation,
6
commissioning, normal and abnormal operations, disposal at the end-of-life of high-voltage
switchgear and controlgear.
These procedures are regarded as minimum requirements to ensure the safety of personnel
working with SF (see Annex B) and to minimize the SF emission to the environment.
6 6
This standard generally applies also to gas mixtures containing SF . The particularities for
6
their handling are covered in Annex J.
NOTE 1 Throughout this standard, use of the term High-Voltage (refer to IEC 60050-601:1985, 601-01-27) means
a rated voltage above 1 000 V. However the term Medium Voltage (refer to IEC 60050-601: 1985, 601-01-28) is
commonly used for distribution systems with voltages above 1 kV and generally applied up to and including 52 kV.
NOTE 2 Throughout this standard, the term “electric power equipment” stands for “high-voltage and
medium-voltage switchgear and controlgear”.
NOTE 3 Throughout this standard, the term “pressure” stands for “absolute pressure”.
1.2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
