21、t can resist without unacceptable effects. The values apply only to those parts designed to withstand short-circuit current. 3.2.1 1 Rated conditional short-circuit current Value of the prospective short-circuit current that a lance earthing, protected by a current-limiting switching device, can sat
22、isfactorily withstand for the operating time of this device under specified test conditions (see 4.6 of IEC 439-1). 3.2.12 Peak current lm Peak value of the highest current during the transient period following initial energizing of the circuit. 4 Electrical characteristics Each component of a lance
23、 earthing that is exposed to short-circuit current is characterized by rated current I, and rated time t,. Six values of rated time are standardized: 3; 2; 1 ; 0,5; 0,25 and 0,l s i, shall be specified for one of these standard times or as a rated conditional short-circuit current for a specified co
24、mbination with an, effective current-limiting protection. No pari of a lance earthing shall be exposed to a current or Joule-integral higher than that defined by its rated values. NOTE - The equipment may be used for a longer short-circuit time than its rated time if the Joule-integral /: f, is not
25、exceeded. 5 Requlrements 5.1 General Equipment shall permit safe and simple earthing and short-circuiting of electrical installations (see annex C). Devices, when installed according to instructions for use, shall be able to withstand all stresses from fault currents that they will be exposed to in
26、practice without causing electrical, mechanical, chemical or thermal danger to persons. For indoor use, accepted temperatures and materials shall be Co-ordinated so as to avoid any interference with the evacuation of personnel to avoid harmful concentrations of toxic vapours as well as serious, perm
27、anent damage to installations or buildings. BSI BS*EN*bLZL 94 Lb24bb 0423256 T90 Category Warm (W) Cold (C) Page 10 EN 61219 : 1993 Temperature range - 5 “C to + 70 “C - 40 “C to + 55 “C Reliable current-limiting fuses and circuit breakers are available for low voltage. If a low- voltage lance earth
28、ing designed for continued use is effectively protected by a current-limiting switching device, the requirements can be based on the rated conditional short-circuit current. Equipment for continued used after short-circuit exposure shall, as an additional requirement, be in perfect condition after e
29、xposure to the severest short-circuit stresses for which it is designed. The following clauses specify the requirements and tests necessary to verify that a device meets these requirements (see table 2). Agreement may be made between manufacturer and customer on additional requirements and tests pre
30、scribed in the customers specification. With respect to climatic conditions, equipment for stationary use in normal indoor atmosphere shall refer to a temperature range + 5 OC to + 55 OC. For mobile and outdoor equipment, normal use shall refer to a temperature range - 25 OC to + 55 OC. Two special
31、categories for high (W) and low (C) temperature use are included (see table 1). Table 1 - Special temperature categories 5.2 Earthing cables Earthing cables shall be sized for expected fault currents. For mechanical reasons the conductor shall have as a minimum a 16 mm2 copper equivalent cross-secti
32、on. The cable shall have an insulating cover for mechanical and chemical protection and shall be connected in such a way as to ensure reliable contacts and excellent fatigue resistance. This is achieved by selecting earthing cables according to IEC 1138 and end fittings according to 4.4 of IEC 1230.
33、 NOTE - There are two common practices regarding the colour of the covering: a) users; b) although such transparency is usually lost after repeated use. a bright colour, such as orange or red, to increase the visibility of the device. Preferences differ among transparency to permit inspection of the
34、 conductor for signs of corrosion or surface strand damage, BSI BS*EN*b1217 74 M 1b24bb 0423257 927 Page 11 EN 61219 : 1993 Compliance shall be verified by testing in accordance with relevant parts of IEC 1230 and- by visual inspection. 5.3 Lances, lance contacts and guiding components After full in
35、sertion into lance contacts, the lance earthing shall protect against dangerous voltage and electric arc due to accidental energization. Lances, lance contacts and guiding components shall be Co-ordinated to give reliable securing and contact even under short-circuit conditions. Lances (including sh
36、ort-circuiting frames of multiple lances), lance contacts and guiding components shall withstand the short-circuit stresses for which they are designed as well as the push, pull, bending and torsional stresses arising in normal use without any harmful influence on contacts by reduction of contact su
37、rfaces or contact pressures. Lances designed for continued use after short-circuit exposure shall have their current limited to the following values: - copper lance: 180 Almm2; - aluminium lance: 120 A/mm2; - steel lance: 65 Almm2. Compliance shall be verified by tests according to 6.3 and 6.4 and b
38、y visual inspection. 5.3.1 lhe lance shall be designed to facilitate reliable operation with reasonable physical effort by the user. Installing and removing of lances Lances shall be Co-ordinated with lance contacts and other guiding components to attain accurate and smooth application. In lance ear
39、things using earthing lance contacts, the lance shall always enter the earthing lance contact before line lance contacts. The forces needed to insert and remove a lance shall not exceed 400 N. If the equipment is designed for continued use after short-circuit exposure, this requirement shall be fulf
40、illed even after such exposure. It may be impossible or unsuitable to size lances for continued use even in installations where reduction of outage time is very determinant. If so, a special agreement between customer and manufacturer on the removability of lances after short-circuit exposure may be
41、 required. The lance shall meet a mechanical stop in the fully inserted position. Another stop may be arranged for a single lance in systems not solidly earthed with disconnecting earth fault protection in a position where it has reached full contact with the first line lance contact. The aim of thi
42、s is to give a time margin for disconnection before short-circuiting. BSI BS*EN*bL2LS 94 W 1624669 0423258 863 Page 12 EN 61219 : 1993 Stops shall withstand reasonable excess forces. Compliance shall be verified by tests in accordance with 6.2 and 6.3, by measuring and checking manually and by visua
43、l inspection. 5.3.2 Lance earthings shall be equipped with arrangements for blocking of the lance in fully inserted position. The blocking shall be of a type that is not affected by vibrations. Lance earthings for enclosed switchgear or controlgear assemblies shall have arrangements for making or co
44、mpleting the blocking with a padlock with a 5 mm solid shackle. Blocking and locking of lances in fully inserted position Blockings shall withstand reasonable excess forces. Compliance shall be verified by test in accordance with 6.3, by checking manually and by visual inspection. 5.3.3 Insulating e
45、lements The insulating elements used with lances are insulating handles and earthing poles, f xed to the lance conductor or detachable. Insulating elements shall offer protection against puncture, flash-over and creepage current at the voltages to which they are exposed in practice. Insulating handl
46、es are permitted for voltages s 36 kV. Earthing poles shall be used for voltages 36 kV and wherever necessary for raising and reaching. Insulating handles shall have a grip and a handguard that prevents the hand from sliding out on the bare conductor (see figure 6). The handguard height shall be at
47、least 20 mm. With regard to pushing and pulling forces, the handle shall, if necessary, be suitable for two-handed operation. The minimum grip length shall be 115 mm for one-hand lances and 220 mm for two-hand lances. Where a problem is present for raising and reaching, for instance open switchgears
48、 and overhead lines, an earthing pole is normally preferable. If the operator is not sufficiently distanced from live parts by the length of the lance, the earthing pole length shall be given the necessary additional length. Rules for the selection of earthing poles are given in IEC 1230, annexes A
49、and C (see also IEC 855 and 1235). Interim rules for the selection of earthing poles are given in annexes A and C of IEC 1230. There shall be no conductor along the earthing pole, either outside or inside.

All insulating handles and earthing poles including couplings shall withstand reasonable excess forces without failing or being damaged. Complianc
