Annotation of standard text IEC 61472-ed.3.0 :

IEC 61472:2013 describes a method for calculating the minimum approach distances for live working, at maximum voltages between 72,5 kV and 800 kV. This standard addresses system overvoltages and the working air distances or tool insulation between parts and/or workers at different electric potentials. The required withstand voltage and minimum approach distances calculated by the method described in this standard are evaluated taking into consideration - if the workers are trained for, and skilled in, working in the live working zone; - if the anticipated overvoltages do not exceed the value selected for the determination of the required minimum approach distance; - if transient overvoltages are the determining overvoltages; - if tool insulation has no continuous film of moisture or measurable contamination present on the surface; - if no lightning is seen or heard within 10 km of the work site; - if allowance is made for the effect of conducting components of tools; and - if the effect of altitude, insulators in the gap, etc, on the electric strength is taken into consideration. For conditions other than the above, the evaluation of the minimum approach distances may require specific data, derived by other calculation or obtained from additional laboratory investigations on the actual situation. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61472 published in 2004. It constitutes a technical revision. Significant changes with regard to the second edition are: - the clarification of the scope; - the review of the definitions; - the clarification of the methodology of determining whether live working is permissible and the calculation of the minimum approach distances; - the modification of the basic equation for calculation of the minimum approach distance; and - the introduction of Table 1 for altitude correction factor simplification ka. The contents of the corrigendum of October 2015 have been included in this copy. La CEI 61472:2013 decrit une methode de calcul des distances minimales dapproche pour des travaux sous tension realises a des tensions maximales comprises entre 72,5 kV et 800 kV. La presente norme traite des surtensions de reseau et des distances de travail dans lair ou de lisolation des outils entre des pieces et/ou des travailleurs a des potentiels electriques differents. La tension de tenue requise et les distances minimales dapproche calculees suivant la methode decrite dans la presente norme sont evaluees en prenant en compte - si les travailleurs sont formes et qualifies pour travailler dans la zone de travail sous tension; - si les surtensions attendues ne depassent pas la valeur choisie pour la determination de la distance minimale dapproche requise; - si les surtensions transitoires sont les surtensions determinantes; - si lisolation des outils ne presente pas sur la surface un film continu dhumidite ou un niveau de pollution mesurable; - si aucun eclair nest vu ni entendu a moins de 10 km du lieu de travail; - si linfluence des parties conductrices des outils est prise en compte; - et si leffet de laltitude, de la presence disolateurs dans lintervalle, etc. sur la tenue electrique est pris en compte. Pour des conditions autres que celles ci-dessus, levaluation des distances minimales dapproche peut exiger des donnees specifiques, provenant dautres calculs ou obtenues a partir detudes additionnelles en laboratoire sur la situation concrete. Cette troisieme edition annule et remplace la deuxieme edition de la CEI 61472, publiee en 2004. Elle constitue une revision technique. Les modifications techniques majeures par rapport a la deuxieme edition sont: - la clarification du domaine dapplication; - la revue des definitions; - la clarification de la methodologie pour determiner si le travail sous tension est acceptable et pour calculer les distances minimales dapproche; - la modification de lequation de base pour calculer la distance minimale dapproche; - et lintroduction du Tableau 1 pour une simplification du facteur de correction en fonction de laltitude ka. Le contenu du corrigendum doctobre 2015 a ete pris en consideration dans cet exemplaire.
