22、997 Introduction Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are synthetic liquids which have been used throughout the world since the 1930s. In the electrical industry, they have been used, sometimes in combination with chlorobenzenes, as insulating and cooling liquids in power transformers and capacitors whe

23、re low flammability is of prime importance. The generic term askarels is applied to such liquids and is used in this document for insulating liquids having PCBs as a major constituent. Askarels have good electrical and thermal properties, and are chemically stable. However, they also possess a numbe

24、r of potential environmental disadvantages: being persistent in the environment and resistant to chemical and biological decomposition. They also bioaccumulate: tending to accumulate up the food chain. Furthermore, potential environmental problems can arise should askarels be involved in uncontrolle

25、d fire conditions; the consequences are such that restrictions may have to be placed on future access to the fire-affected areas. A list of some typical trade names for askarels is included in annex A. 1 Scope This Code of Practice gives guidance to users of fully enclosed askarel-filled electrical

26、equipment. National and local authority regulations (if any) take priority. This Code of Practice is applicable to fully enclosed electrical equipment which is designed to be filled with askarels: i.e. askarel-filled electrical equipment. This Code of Practice is applicable to electrical equipment w

27、hich contains more than five litres of askarels. This Code of Practice gives guidance on the precautions to be observed to avoid pollution of the environment by the correct installation, maintenance, operation, storage and transportation of askarel-filled electrical equipment. This Code of Practice

28、gives guidance on the safety precautions to be taken when handling askarels, the disposal of askarel-contaminated waste and on the retrofilling of transformers with an acceptable replacement liquid. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Code of Practice, the following definitions apply. 2.1 askarel

29、s A generic term for low flammability insulating liquids having polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as a major constituent, with or without the addition of polychlorinated benzenes. 2.2 askarel-filled equipment Equipment containing askarels which is designed to be filled with askarels as the insulating

30、 and/or cooling liquid. 2.3 contaminated with PCBs Having a PCB content greater than 50 mg/kg. 2.4 equipment Fully enclosed electrical equipment, except for small volume electrical equipment. 2.5 fully enclosed Completely encapsulated, closed circuit, not generally open to the atmosphere, but not ex

31、cluding a breather or pressure relief device. 2.6 insulating liquid A liquid with negligibly low electrical conductivity, used to separate conducting parts at different electrical potentials. 2.7 polychlorinated benzenes An insulating and/or cooling liquid consisting of a mixture of several isomeric

32、 and homologous compounds, obtained by replacement of at least three or four atoms of hydrogen in the benzene molecule with chlorine atoms. 2.8 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) An insulating and/or cooling liquid consisting of a mixture of several isomeric and homologous compounds, obtained by repla

33、cement of at least two atoms of hydrogen in the biphenyl molecule with chlorine atoms. 2.9 retrofilled equipment Equipment which contained askarels and has been subject to retrofilling. 2.10 retrofilling All operations designed to replace the askarels by a suitable substitute insulating and/or cooli

34、ng liquid not containing PCBs. 2.11 small volume Not greater than five litres. 2.12 water systems Systems which include: a) effluent systems, e.g. drains, sewers, etc.; b) water courses, e.g. ditches, streams, canals, rivers, lakes, etc.; c) water storage systems, e.g. reservoirs, etc. 3 Identificat

35、ion of askarels The normal point of identification of askarels is the manufacturers rating plate. Annex A identifies some typical trade names. In case of doubt, the original manufacturer may be consulted or the liquid may be suitably analysed.Page 4 EN 50195 : 1996 BSI 1997 4 Site design and constru

36、ction 4.1 General Precautions to prevent pollution of the environment should be taken into account at the design and construction stage (see clause 6, Pollution of the environment). For existing sites, these precautions should be implemented where reasonably practicable. Where equipment containing a

37、skarels is installed, adequate arrangements should be constructed to contain all spillage and prevent any waste products from reaching water systems. Adequate bunding of all areas containing askarels is of prime importance. A retention tank or drip tray of adequate capacity may be used. These bunded

38、 areas should not be rendered ineffective by ingress of rain water. 4.2 Surface sealants Bund floors and walls likely to become contaminated with askarels may be sealed with a suitable sealant. This protective measure will make it unnecessary to remove and dispose of any contaminated brickwork or ce

39、ment items. Gaps at cable entry points and other openings should be sealed with a suitable sealant. It has been found to be impracticable to chemically treat gravel or chippings etc., beneath askarel-filled equipment. Consequently, any askarel-contaminated chippings or soil should be removed and dis

40、posed of as described in clause 13, Disposal procedures. 4.3 Electrical protection Electrical protection should be provided, designed to be suitable to protect the askarel-filled equipment against internal faults and high through-faults, in order to minimize excessive stresses. 4.4 Mechanical protec

41、tion All askarel-filled equipment and areas where spares are stored should be adequately protected against mechanical damage, e.g., by fork lift trucks, etc., if such damage is possible. 4.5 Storage Storage areas containing askarels should not have drains which could cause pollution of the environme

42、nt. Spare askarels containers and equipment containing askarels in storage should be controlled to prevent accidental spillage or personal contact with askarels. Askarels or askarel-filled equipment should be stored away from other insulating liquids and any flammable substances, in such a way to mi

43、nimize the risk of fire. All storage areas should be secured, suitably labelled and protected from the effects of precipitation. Similar precautions as those described in 4.1 to 4.4 should also be taken. 4.6 Ventilation Where askarel-filled equipment is installed indoors, the room should have adequa

44、te ventilation which is separate and independent from other areas of the building. If not possible, the ventilation system may be designed to close down in case of fire. 5 Labelling 5.1 Labelling of askarels The following should be labelled: a) askarel-filled equipment; b) compounds containing askar

45、el-filled equipment; c) temporary storage areas containing askarel-filled equipment; d) containers containing askarels as spare or waste; e) containers containing waste materials contaminated with askarels. The label should be durable, indelible and should give adequate warning and suitable emergenc

46、y instructions. 5.2 Labelling of retrofilled transformers Labelling of retrofilled transformers should be in accordance with clause 12, Retrofilling of transformers. 6 Pollution of the environment The appropriate manner for disposal is referred to in clause 13, Disposal procedures. 6.1 Precautions t

47、o be taken to avoid pollution of the environment when working on equipment containing askarels or handling askarel in containers a) Liquid wastes containing askarels should not be disposed of into any water systems. Precautions should be taken to avoid any spillage or leakage from gaining access to

48、such systems. Adequate bunding of all areas containing askarels is of prime importance. NOTE. Askarel liquids have specific weights higher than that of water. They do not float on water that may be present in the drip tray beneath equipment. b) Under no circumstances should spilled askarels be hosed

49、 away into normal waste channels. If spillage or leakage is found to have occurred, it should be absorbed using vermiculite, sand, ash, or other inert non-combustible absorbent material which should be collected and later disposed of in an appropriate manner. Any residual askarels should be wiped from impervious surfaces using wipes or rags soaked in a suitable proprietary solvent. These rags should afterwards be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Appropriate precautions should be taken when handling solvents.Page 5 EN 50195 : 1996
