20、Introduction Multipurpose insulating sticks are used to operate high voltage (more than 1 kV) live equipment at distance, such as opening and closing switchgear, extracting and replacing fuses, etc. They are also used to carry out operations prior to dead working, as in the case of voltage verificat
21、ion, earthing and short-circuiting, etc. In all these cases the stick has two main functions, to reach the part of the installation that needs to be operated on and to protect the worker from risk of electrical injury, by providing the insulation level and maintaining the safety distance between the
22、 worker and the live or potentially live installation. According to the working and maintenance procedures adopted, additional protection can be added in order to attain the adequate safety level (see Annex A). The multipurpose insulating stick is used in accordance with EN 50110. This standard has
23、been prepared in accordance with the requirements of EN 61477. BS EN 50508:2009EN 50508:2009 - 6 - 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements and tests to be fulfilled by the multipurpose insulating sticks intended to perform a range of operations in high voltage installations by mean
24、s of the attached appropriate tools, for example: connection and disconnection of disconnectors or other equipment operated by the stick, fuse replacement with an attached tool, operations like: voltage absence verification, using a detector as a separate device in accordance with EN 61243-1; earthi
25、ng and short circuiting installations, using devices in accordance with EN 61230; placing insulating screens in order to provide protection against adjacent live parts; testing and measurement; any other operation or verification on the electrical installation, provided that the mechanical requireme
26、nts do not exceed those assured by the stick design and the worker shall remain at a safety distance; rescue of accident victims. This European Standard is applicable to the insulating sticks made of a single continuous tube or rod or multiple tube or rod sections connected to each other, to be used
27、 both indoors or outdoors on electrical systems for voltages of 1 kV to 765 kV a.c., frequencies of 50 Hz and/or 60 Hz and in the normal range of temperatures of -25 C to +55 C and at a relative humidity between 20 % and 93 %. For the purpose of this standard, “tube” is used for “tube” and “rod”. An
28、nex B includes considerations about the use under wet conditions. NOTE It is a general practice to use an insulating stick on d.c. installations with the same value of nominal voltage. That use shall comply with the national regulations. This European Standard is not applicable to sticks covered by
29、EN 60832, telescopic sticks covered by EN 62193, sticks with mobile internal or external operating rods, as those used directly for fuse replacement, single purpose sticks, especially designed to cover a single operation, generally as a complete equipment such as voltage detectors covered by EN 6124
30、3-1. NOTE Except where otherwise specified, all the voltages defined in this European Standard refer to values of phase-to-phase voltages of three-phase systems. In other systems, the applicable phase-to-phase or phase-to-earth (ground) voltages should be used to determine the operating voltage. BS
