Specifications for the re-use of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6 ) and its mixtures in electrical equipment

Edition date: 2019-04-04
In Force
Available languages: Spanish, English, French
Summary: IEC 60480:2019 provides criteria for the re-use of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and its mixtures after recovery and reclaiming from electrical equipment (e.g. for maintenance, at the end-of-life).
Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen (N2) and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), are gases commonly used for electrical equipment. Taking into account environmental concerns, particular attention is paid to re-use criteria for SF6 and its mixtures with N2 and CF4 for its use in electrical equipment. Procedures for recovering and reclaiming used SF6 and its mixtures are outside the scope of this document and are described in IEC 62271-4.
This document provides several annexes on the description of the different methods of analysis, on by-products, on the procedure for evaluating the potential health effects from by-products, on cryogenic reclaiming of SF6, and on reclaiming recommendations.
Storage, transportation and disposal of SF6 and its mixtures are outside the scope of this document and are covered by IEC 62271-4. Procedures to determine SF6 leakages are described in IEC 60068-2-17.
For the purposes of this document, the complementary gases used in SF6 mixtures will be limited to N2 or CF4.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2004. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
• specifications for the re-use of SF6 have been confirmed;
• specifications for the re-use of SF6 mixtures, namely SF6/N2 and SF6/CF4 mixtures are included;
• as a result of a new repartition of annexes in IEC 60376, IEC 60480 and IEC 62271-4, this new edition now contains the following five annexes:
– Annex A: Description of methods of analysis (on-site and laboratory);
– Annex B: By–products of SF6 and its mixtures;
– Annex C: Procedure for evaluating the potential effects on health from by products of SF6 and its mixtures;
– Annex D: Reclaiming recommendations.
– Annex E: Cryogenic reclaiming of SF6;

L'IEC 60480:2019 spécifie des critères de réutilisation de l’hexafluorure de soufre (SF6) et des mélanges contenant du SF6 après reprise et régénération depuis le matériel électrique (par exemple, pour la maintenance ou en fin de vie).
L’hexafluorure de soufre (SF6), l’azote (N2) et le tétrafluorure de carbone (CF4) sont des gaz communément utilisés pour le matériel électrique. Une attention particulière est accordée aux critères de réutilisation du SF6 et de ses mélanges avec N2 et CF4 pour leur utilisation dans le matériel électrique, afin de prendre en compte les aspects d’environnement. Les procédures de reprise et de régénération du SF6 usagé et des mélanges contenant du SF6 usagé ne relèvent pas du domaine d’application du présent document. Elles sont décrites dans l’IEC 62271-4.
Le présent document comprend plusieurs annexes qui décrivent les différentes méthodes d’analyse, traitent des sous-produits, de la procédure d’évaluation des effets potentiels des sous-produits sur la santé, de la régénération cryogénique du SF6 et donnent des recommandations relatives à la régénération.
Les procédures de stockage, de transport et d’élimination du SF6 et des mélanges contenant du SF6 ne relèvent pas du domaine d’application du présent document. Elles sont décrites dans l’IEC 62271-4. Les procédures de détermination des fuites de SF6 sont décrites dans l’IEC 60068-2-17.
Pour les besoins du présent document, les gaz complémentaires utilisés dans les mélanges du SF6 sont limités à l’azote (N2) ou au tétrafluorure de carbone (CF4).
Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2004. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
• les spécifications pour la réutilisation du SF6 ont été confirmées;
• les spécifications pour la réutilisation des mélanges contenant du SF6 en particulier SF6/N2 et SF6/CF4 sont incluses;
• les annexes de l’IEC 60376, l’IEC 60480 et de l’IEC 62271-4 ayant fait l’objet d’une nouvelle répartition, cette nouvelle édition contient à présent les cinq annexes suivantes:
– Annexe A: Description des méthodes d’analyse (sur site et en laboratoire);
– Annexe B: Sous-produits du SF6 et mélanges contenant du SF6;
– Annexe C: Procédure d’évaluation des effets potentiels sur la santé générés par des sous-produits de SF6 et des mélanges contenant du SF6;
– Annexe D: Recommandations relatives à la régénération;
– Annexe E: Régénération cryogénique du SF6.
