26、 non-metallic enclosed switchgear assemblies used in indoor stationary installations of traction systems, with nominal voltage not exceeding 3 000 V. It is intended that individual items of equipment, for example circuit breakers, housed in the assembly are designed, manufactured and individually te
27、sted (simulating the enclosure when necessary) in accordance with their respective parts of EN 50123 or, when appropriate, with another applicable standard. NOTE 1 The requirements covered in this European Standard are those concerning the assembly as such, its enclosure and the mutual influence of
28、the equipment enclosed. NOTE 2 EMC requirements are covered by EN 50121-5 and additional requirements concerning dependability (RAMS) are covered by EN 50126. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications. These normativ

34、embly enclosure; b) list of functional units enclosed; c) rated insulation voltages; d) rated values of the equipment enclosed as required in relevant standards; e) if constructed for an earth fault protection; f) detailed protection and control requirements (see EN 50123-7). Other important charact
35、eristics are listed in A.2. 6 Construction characteristics 6.1 General Enclosures are either metallic or non-metallic. Non-metallic enclosed switchgear shall not be used for nominal voltages above 1,5 kV. All requirements specified herein also apply when both conductive and insulating materials are
36、used, except for insulating clearances which shall be designed and tested as appropriate. A cell made of masonry shall not be considered as an enclosure, as far as this standard is concerned. The floor surface may be considered as part of an enclosure. The measures to be taken in order to obtain the
37、 degree of protection provided by floor surfaces shall be subject to an agreement between purchaser and supplier. The walls of a room shall not be considered as parts of the enclosure. Switchgear assemblies and relevant enclosures shall be designed so that normal service, inspection and maintenance
38、operations, earthing of connected cables or busbars, locating of cable faults, voltage tests on connected cables or other apparatus and the elimination of electrostatic charges, can be carried out easily and safely. 4 Service requirements Normal service requirements are detailed in clause 4 and Anne
39、x B of EN 50123-1 for indoor installations. In this European standard the pollution degree PD4 and overvoltage categories (see notes to Table 1 of EN 50123-1) as described in EN 50124-1 are considered to be the normal condition. - 6 -BS EN 50123-6:2003+A1:2014 EN 50123-6:2003+A1:2014 (E)European rul
40、es concerning noxious or toxic materials shall be observed. All identical devices, forming part of an assembly for a given use and with the same characteristics, shall be interchangeable. Withdrawable switching devices shall be prevented from insertion into functional units on the same switchgear as
41、sembly, having a different function or higher current ratings. Sufficient space shall be provided inside the compartments for the entry and termination of incoming cables without their minimum bending radii being infringed. The detachable parts of the protection enclosures shall be firmly attached t
42、o the fixed parts as specified in 6.7. Accidental untightening or detachment shall not occur because of the operation of the equipment. All apparatus and connections for the safe operation, control and protection of the equipment concerned, shall be provided whether or not specifically mentioned. Th
43、e equipment shall be adequately earthed, insulated, screened or enclosed as may be appropriate to ensure the protection of the equipment and safety of those concerned in its operation and maintenance. Control and auxiliary circuits and contacts shall comply with the requirements of 5.2 of EN 50123-1
44、. All components contained within the enclosure shall comply with their relevant standards. 6.2 Insulation requirements Test voltages and clearances are given in Table 1 of EN 50123-1. Recommended values for creepage distances are given in Annex D of EN 50123-1. The adverse effect of ionisation (due
45、 to arcs) on the clearances of other equipment in the assembly shall be taken into account. The minimum clearances between the arc chute of a switching device and metallic or non-metallic parts (i.e. above the arc chute and to the sides) shall be in accordance with those given by the switching devic
46、e manufacturer. Insulating material used to fully or partially line a metallic enclosure shall be firmly secured to the enclosure. In case of withdrawable units, where access within the enclosure is required during maintenance operations, the busbars and all other conductors shall be separated by a
47、barrier. Openings through such a barrier for the circuit and busbar connectors, etc., shall be shuttered and capable of being locked closed. All materials used shall be of the quality and of the class most suitable for working under the conditions specified. Special attention is to be paid to its ab
48、ility to withstand moisture and fire: unless Fire behaviour Class F0 is allowed (see Annex B of EN 50123-1), materials used shall be metallic or of the self extinguishing type, such that the risk of propagation of fire from one cubicle or compartment to another is minimised. The selection of materia
49、ls and the construction of the assembly shall be such that corrosion due to atmospheric and electrolytic effects are minimised. - 7 -BS EN 50123-6:2003+A1:2014 EN 50123-6:2003+A1:2014 (E)6.4 Location of the primary connections In case of non-withdrawable assemblies, the terminals for the primary connections shall be accessible with the functional units as in normal operating conditions. 6.5 Earthing NOTE Depending on the d.c. system earthing requirements, “earthing“ means connection either to earth or to the return circuit. 6.5.1 Earthing
