BS EN 62271-4:2013 8 62271-4 IEC:2013 HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR Part 4: Handling procedures for sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and its mixtures 1 General 1.1 Scope This part of IEC 62271 applies to the procedures for handling of S
41、F6during installation, 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 SF6(see Annex B) and to minimize the SF6emission to the e
42、nvironment. This standard generally applies also to gas mixtures containing SF6. The particularities for 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
43、 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 an
44、d 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 are indispensable for its application.

49、mission of gas at a higher rate than the equipment designed leak rate. As soon as an abnormal SF6leak is detected, appropriate measures to locate and eliminate it should be arranged. 2.2 handling of SF6any process which might involve transfer of SF62.3 evacuation transfer of a gas different from SF6(e.g. air or N2) which can be released into the atmosphere. The operation is performed utilising a vacuum pump 2.4 recovery of SF6
