60 Supplementary requirements for Electrical Equipment with Level of
61 Protection “oc” for voltages greater than 15 kV and up to including 245 kV
62 D.1 General
63 The Annex D supplements and modifies the requirements of this standard.  Clause 4.3, 4.4
64 and 4.6 do not apply to equipment covered by this Annex D.
65 The voltage of explosion protected electrical equipment is limited for the type of protection
66 “oc” up to 15 kV rms. A.C. or D.C. Application of higher voltages exists to supply offshore
67 plants that are a long distance from the coast. Voltage levels up to 245 kV AC or DC are
RMS
68 needed to allow power transmission up to some hundred kilometres from shore to offshore or
69 between locations on shore/offshore. This Annex can be applied to liquid immersed
70 transformers, reactors, power regulators, tap changers and other liquid immersed HV
71 Electrical Equipment without dedicated IEC standards such as Oil-immersed Swivel for HV
72 Connections, Oil-immersed Earthing Resistors and Oil-immersed Switching Resistors.
