SRPS EN 50064:2009

Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy enclosures for gas-filled high-voltage switchgear and controlgear

Scope

This standard applies to fusion welded wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy enclosures pressurized with dry air, inert gases, for example sulphur hexafluoride or nitrogen or a mixture of such gases, used in indoor or outdoor installations of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear with rated voltages of 72,5 kV and above, where the gas is used principally for its dielectric and/or arc-quenching properties. The enclosures comprise parts of electrical equipment not necessarily limited to the following examples: circuit-breakers, switch-disconnectors, disconnectors, earthing switches, current transformers, voltage transformers, surge arrestors, busbars and connections. The scope covers also pressurized components such as the centre-chamber of live tank switchgear and controlgear, gas-insulated current transformers, etc.
