Mineral insulating oils in electrical equipment - Supervision and maintenance guidance
IEC 60422:2024 provides monitoring guidance and procedures that are required for the use and maintenance of mineral insulating oils and other hydrocarbon-based liquids in transformers and other electrical equipment, including strategic spares and tanks for holding spare parts and components.
This document is applicable to mineral insulating oils, originally supplied conforming to IEC 60296, in transformers, switchgear and other electrical apparatus where oil sampling is reasonably practicable, and where the normal operating conditions specified in the equipment specifications apply.
This document is also intended to assist the power equipment operator to evaluate the condition of the oil and maintain it in a serviceable condition. It also provides a common basis for the preparation of more specific and complete local codes of practice.
The document includes recommendations on tests and evaluation procedures, and outlines methods for reconditioning and reclaiming oil, and the decontamination of oil contaminated with PCBs.
NOTE The condition monitoring of electrical equipment, for example by analysis of dissolved gases, furanic compounds or other means, is outside the scope of this document.

Huiles minérales isolantes dans les matériels électriques - Lignes directrices pour la maintenance et la surveillance
L'IEC 60422:2024 fournit des recommandations et des procédures de surveillance nécessaires pour l'utilisation et la maintenance des huiles minérales isolantes et d'autres liquides à base d'hydrocarbures dans les transformateurs et autres matériels électriques, y compris les pièces de rechange stratégiques et les cuves qui contiennent les pièces et composants de rechange.
Le présent document s'applique aux huiles minérales isolantes qui satisfont à l'origine aux exigences de l'IEC 60296 et sont présentes dans les transformateurs, appareillages de connexion et autres appareils électriques pour lesquels le prélèvement d'échantillons d'huile est raisonnablement possible et auxquels les conditions normales de fonctionnement prévues dans les spécifications du matériel s'appliquent.
Le présent document est également destiné à aider l'opérateur du matériel électrique à évaluer l'état de l'huile et à la maintenir en état d'être utilisée. Il fournit également une base commune à l'élaboration de codes de pratique locaux plus complets et plus spécifiques.
Le document inclut des recommandations sur les essais et les procédures d'évaluation et indique des procédés de retraitement et de régénération de l'huile ainsi que de décontamination de l'huile contaminée par les PCB.
NOTE La surveillance de l'état des matériels électriques, par exemple par l'analyse des gaz dissous et des dérivés furaniques, ou par tout autre moyen, ne fait pas partie du domaine d'application du présent document.
