1 Scope
This document applies to pressurized partitions used in indoor and outdoor installations of high-voltage AC and DC switchgear and
controlgear with rated voltages (Ur) above 1 kV AC / 1,5 kV DC and with design pressure
higher than 300 kPa, where the gas is used principally for its dielectric and/or arc-quenching
properties.
The partitions comprise pressurized barriers in electrical equipment not necessarily limited to
the following examples:
— circuit-breakers;
— switch-disconnectors;
— disconnectors;
— earthing switches;
— current transformers;
— voltage transformers;
— surge arresters;
— busbars and connections;
— cable connections/terminations;
— cable bushings.
