The following dates were fixed: For products which have complied with the relevant national standard before 1991-06-01, as shown by the manufacture or by a certification body, this previous standard may continue to apply for production until 1996-06-01. This document forms a supplement to
16、 EN 50052:1986: “Cast aluminium alloy enclosures for gas-filled high-voltage switchgear and controlgear” and EN 50064:1989: “Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy enclosures for gas-filled high-voltage switchgear and controlgear”, concerning welded enclosures for the same type of switchgear and cont
17、rolgear but composed of parts made of cast and wrought aluminium alloys. It is based on the general specifications given in HD 358 S2 (IEC 517:1986 ed 2) which are however not sufficient to satisfy the conditions for the service allowance of pressurized high-voltage switchgear and controlgear. These
18、 specifications are appropriate for pressurized switchgear enclosures allowing an economic production without sacrificing aspects of safety. For unusual shapes dictated by electrical conditions they permit the verification of sound design by proof tests instead of calculations. Nevertheless this Eur
19、opean Standard makes use of many internationally well acknowledged calculation rules and the Technical Committee will in addition pursue the progress in standardization in CEN/TC 121 and ISO/TC 44 on welding and allied processes. For the time being reference can only be made to published Internation
20、al Standards as far as they are appropriate for the purpose of production of enclosures to be used in gas-filled switchgear and controlgear. The present EN has been established as an international specification for the design, construction, testing, inspection and certification of pressurized enclos
21、ures used in high-voltage switchgear and controlgear. This standard follows to that extent also Article 2 of the Directive 76/767/EEC. The European Standard contains one informative annex: “National Deviations”. List of standards referred to in this standard: Foreword to amendment A1 This amendment

28、ltage switchgear and controlgear, or for associated gas-filled equipment. Special consideration is given to these enclosures for the following reasons: a) The enclosures usually form the containment of electrical equipment, thus their shape is determined by electrical rather than mechanical consider
29、ations. b) The enclosures are installed in restricted access areas and the equipment is operated by experts and instructed persons only. c) As the thorough drying of the inert, non-corrosive gas-filling medium is fundamental to the satisfactory operation of the electrical equipment it is periodicall
30、y checked. For this reason, no internal corrosion allowance is required on the wall thickness of these enclosures. d) The enclosures are subjected to only small fluctuations of pressure as the gas-filling density shall be maintained within close limits to ensure satisfactory insulating and arc-quenc
31、hing properties. Therefore, the enclosures are not liable to fatigue due to pressure cycling. e) The operating pressure is relatively low. For the foregoing reasons, and to ensure the minimum disturbance hence reducing the risk of moisture and dust entering the enclosures which would prevent correct
32、 electrical operation of the switchgear, no pressure tests shall be carried out after installation and before placing in service and no periodic inspection of the enclosure interiors or pressure tests shall be carried out after the equipment is placed in service. 2 Scope and field of application 2.1
33、 Type of equipment This standard applies to welded composite enclosures of cast and wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy enclosures pressurized with dry air, inert gases, for example sulphur hexafluoride or nitrogen or a mixture of such gases, used in indoor or outdoor installations of high-voltage
34、 switchgear and controlgear, where the gas is used principally for its dielectric and/or arc-quenching properties, with rated voltages. 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV and with gas-filled compartments with design pressure and with rated voltage 72,5 kV and above. The enclosures comprise parts of
35、electrical equipment not necessarily limited to the following examples: circuit-breakers; switch-disconnectors; disconnectors; earthing switches; current transformers; voltage transformers; surge arrestors; busbars and connections. The scope covers also pressurized components such as the centre-cham
36、ber of live tank switchgear and controlgear, gas-insulated current transformers, etc. 2.2 Production The production of the enclosures shall be in accordance with documented welding procedures which shall be carried out by well trained and supervised welding personnel. Where International Standards (
37、ISO or CEN) are not available, National Standards may be used. NOTEThis standard will be revised as soon as possible when ISO or CEN standards covering the various aspects are available. 2.3 Quality assurance It is the intention of this standard, that the switchgear manufacturer shall be responsible
38、 for achieving and maintaining a consistent and adequate quality of product. Sufficient examinations shall be made by the enclosure manufacturer to ensure that the materials, production and testing comply in all respects with the requirements of this standard and ISO6213:1983. Inspection by the user
39、s inspectors shall not absolve the switchgear manufacturer from his responsibility to exercise such quality assurance procedures as to ensure that the requirements and the intent of this standard are satisfied. NOTEReference should be made to the ISO9000 series of standards for quality assurance sys
