Live working - Voltage detectors - Part 1: Capacitive type to be used for voltages exceeding 1 kV a.c. and up to 52 kV

Applies to portable voltage detectors with or without built-in power sources, to be used on electrical systems for voltages of 1 kV to 420 kV a.c. and frequencies from 15 Hz to 60 Hz. For the time being, it has been identified that : - For voltage levels up to 52 kV, the actual standard can be used in its entirety ; - For voltage levels above 52 kV, electric testing procedures are questionable from the point of view of their representativity and feasibility. For voltage detectors for use above 52 kV, manufacturers and customers should agree alternative electrical test arrangements, for example, electrical tests based on former national standards, until the publication of the second edition of this standard.

Travaux sous tension - Détecteurs de tension - Partie 1: Détecteurs de type capacitif pour usage sur des tensions alternatives de plus de 1 kV et jusqu'à 52 kV

S'applique aux détecteurs de tension portatifs avec ou sans alimentation incorporée pour utilisation sur réseaux électriques de tension alternatives de 1 kV à 420 kV et de fréquences de 15 Hz à 60 Hz. Pour l'instant, il a été identifié que : La présente partie de la CEI 1243 est applicable aux détecteurs de tension portatifs avec ou sans alimentation incorporée pour - Pour des niveaux de tension jusqu'à 52 kV, la présente norme est utilisable intégralement ; utilisation sur réseaux électriques de tension alternatives de 1 kV - Pour des niveaux de tension excédant 52 kV, les procédures d'essais électriques sont discutables en ce qui a trait à leur représentativité et à leur faisabilité. à 420 kV et de fréquences de 15 Hz à 60 Hz. Dans les cas de détecteurs de tension pour utilisation à des tensions excédant 52 kV, il convient que clients et fabriquants s'entendent sur l'utilisation de montages alternatifs d'essais électriques, par exemple, des essais électriques basés sur les normes nationales antérieures, et cela jusqu'à la publication de la deuxième édition de la présente norme.

Frequently Asked Questions

EN 61243-1:1997 is a standard published by CLC. Its full title is "Live working - Voltage detectors - Part 1: Capacitive type to be used for voltages exceeding 1 kV a.c. and up to 52 kV". This standard covers: Applies to portable voltage detectors with or without built-in power sources, to be used on electrical systems for voltages of 1 kV to 420 kV a.c. and frequencies from 15 Hz to 60 Hz. For the time being, it has been identified that : - For voltage levels up to 52 kV, the actual standard can be used in its entirety ; - For voltage levels above 52 kV, electric testing procedures are questionable from the point of view of their representativity and feasibility. For voltage detectors for use above 52 kV, manufacturers and customers should agree alternative electrical test arrangements, for example, electrical tests based on former national standards, until the publication of the second edition of this standard.
