IEC 60517:1990
(Main)Gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear for rated voltages of 72.5 kV and above
Gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear for rated voltages of 72.5 kV and above
Specifies requirements for gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear in which the insulation is obtained, at least partly, by an insulating gas other than air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltages of 72.5 kV and above, for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. For the purpose of this standard the term 'switchgear' is used for 'gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear'.
Appareillage sous enveloppe métallique à isolation gazeuse de tension assignée égale ou supérieure à 72,5 kV
Cette norme spécifie les exigences pour l'appareillage sous enveloppe métallique à isolation gazeuse dont l'isolation est réalisée, au moins partiellement, par un gaz isolant autre que l'air à la pression atmosphérique, pour courant alternatif de tension assignée égale ou supérieure à 72,5 kV, pour l'installation à l'intérieur et l'installation à l'extérieur, et pour des fréquences de service inférieures ou égales à 60 Hz. Dans le cadre de la présente norme, le terme «appareillage» est utilisé pour «appareillage sous enveloppe métallique à isolation gazeuse».
