Substations and high voltage installations exceeding kV a.c.
Standards Australia
Abstract
Provides minimum requirements for the design and erection of high voltage installations in systems with nominal voltages above 1 kV a.c. and nominal frequency up to and including 60 Hz.
Scope
This Standard provides minimum requirements for the design and erection of high voltage installations in systems with nominal voltages above 1 kV a.c. and nominal frequency up to and including 60 Hz, so as to provide safety and proper functioning for the use intended.
For the purposes of this Standard, a high voltage installation is considered to be:
(a) An electricity network substation, under the control of an electricity network operator or entity authorized by a licence or other legal instrument to convey electricity.
(b) The high voltage parts of an electrical installation of a power station including all auxiliary systems and interconnecting lines and cables between power stations if on the same site.
(c) Electrical installations built at offshore platforms, e.g. offshore wind power farms.
(d) The high voltage parts of an electrical installation that are not covered in (a) or (b) above. This may include but not be limited to consumer and customer electrical installations serving premises such as factories, commercial facilities, industrial plants, institutional facilities and mine sites.
A high voltage installation includes, but is not limited to, the following equipment:
(i) High voltage electrical installations on masts, poles and towers.
(ii) Switchgear and/or transformers and/or electrical equipment located outside a closed electrical operating area.
(iii) Rotating electrical machines.
(iv) Switchgear, controlgear and assemblies.
(v) Transformers and reactors.
(vi) Converters.
(vii) Cables.
(viii) Lines.
(ix) Wiring systems.
(x) Batteries, battery chargers and associated d.c. supply systems.
(xi) Capacitors.
(xii) Earthing systems.
(xiii) Buildings and fences that are part of a closed electrical operating area.
(xiv) Associated protection, control, auxiliary and ancillary systems.
(xv) Structures, foundations, earthworks and drainage.
NOTE: In general, a product Standard for an item of equipment takes precedence over this Standard.
