Notice and Disclaimer of Liability Concerning the Use of IEEE Documents: IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEESA) Standards Board. IEEE develops its standards through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards. Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other damage, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance upon any IEEE Standard document. IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained in its standards, and expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a specific purpose, or that the use of the material contained in its standards is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents are supplied "AS IS." The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE standard is subjected to review at least every ten years. When a document is more than ten years old and has not undergone a revision process, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE standard. In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing any IEEE Standards document, should rely upon his or her own independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, as appropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given IEEE standard. Translations: The IEEE consensus development process involves the review of documents in English only. In the event that an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE should be considered the approved IEEE standard. Official Statements: A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual shall not be considered the official position of IEEE or any of its committees and shall not be considered to be, nor be relied upon as, a formal position of IEEE. At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than the formal position of IEEE. Comments on Standards: Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice pertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any responses to comments and questions also receive the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questions except in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. Any person who would like to participate in evaluating comments or revisions to an IEEE standard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/wg/. Comments on standards should be submitted to the following address: Secretary, IEEE-SA Standards Board 445 Hoes Lane Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA Photocopies: Authorization to photocopy portions of any individual standard for internal or personal use is granted by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., provided that the appropriate fee is paid to Copyright Clearance Center.

Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std C37.122.2-2011, IEEE Guide for the Application of Gas-Insulated Substations 1 kV to 52 kV.

IEEE Std C37.122TM-1983 IEEE Standard for Gas-Insulated Substations was initiated in the early 1970s when the first gas-insulated substations (GIS) were introduced. Approved in 1983, 1993, and reaffirmed in 2002, it contains standards, recommended practices, and guides. Circumstances beyond the control of the responsible Technical Committees delayed its availability to users until late 1988. Simultaneous to its publication, the Gas-Insulated Substations Subcommittee of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Substations Committee began work on the necessary update and revision of the document. IEEE Std C37.122.1TM Guide for Gas-Insulated Substations was approved in 1993. That guide focused on the technical requirements for the design, fabrication, testing, and installation of a GIS in general 52 kV and above. Parameters to be supplied by the purchaser are suggested and technical requirements for the design, fabrication, testing, and installation to be furnished by the manufacturer is established. During the Working Group and Subcommittee deliberations on the update, it was recognized that users would be better served if the original documents IEEE Std C37.122-1993 (a standard) and IEEE Std C37.122.1-1993 (a guide) were supplemented with a guide for equipment rated 1 kV to 52 kV. The third document became IEEE Std C37.122.2TM-2011 IEEE Guide for the Application of Gas-Insulated Substations 1 kV to 52 kV. The three documents can be referred to individually or jointly depending on the purpose of the referral. IEEE Std C37.122.2 is also based on GIS of the same voltage range covered by IEC 62271-200.

Notice to users Laws and regulations Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements.

IEEE Std C37.122.2-2011 IEEE Guide for the Application of Gas-Insulated Substations 1 kV to 52 kV



Site plan



Site conditions (access restrictions, space limitations, ambient temperature, humidity, site altitude, pollution, special environmental conditions)



Building layout and arrangement



Primary equipment (requirements and ratings including instrument transformer requirements)



Secondary equipment (protection and control, metering, interlocking, station service sources ac and dc, etc.)



Engineering system data (star-point grounding method, short circuit duty, etc.)



Maintenance and operation requirements (local safety requirements, interlock schemes)



Project schedule and deliverables



Connections to other equipment (cable, cable bus, solid insulated bus, or gas-insulated bus)

Special attention has to be given to the interfacing between the GIS and other components of the network, such as overhead lines, transformers, cables, etc. The type and the location of these connections will have a major impact on the overall layout and cost. 4.1.2 GIS arrangement and bus schemes The bus schemes illustrated in Figure 1 are those most commonly applied in North America. These commonly applied arrangements are based on typical distribution system designs.

4.1.2.1 Arrangement philosophy and constraints The GIS arrangement is influenced by a number of important constraints including: a)

Bus and bus sections: The arrangement may influence the length of the bus, the orientation of the equipment, and the number of bus sections required.

b)

Position indicators and viewports: The arrangement should afford a clear view of all position indicators for disconnecting and grounding switches. All position indicators should be visible from the floor or a readily accessible platform. Viewports provide direct verification of switch contact (blade) position and should be easily accessible with minimal need to remove hardware, covers, etc.

c)

Expansion: The arrangement should be such that expansion of the original installation can be accomplished with minimum GIS downtime.

d)

Auxiliary connections: The length and the number of terminal points of low-voltage control wiring and SF 6 gas connections should be minimized.

e)

Operation: All operating handles should be accessible and grouped for simplified operation. All indicating devices and gauges should be clearly labeled, visible, and easily accessible.

f)

Configuration: The GIS should be modular and the configuration of the combined components should promote flexibility, a compact design, and simplify retrofit applications.

The GIS equipment arrangements illustrated in Figure 2 are several common arrangements that can be applied. These commonly applied arrangements are based on typical distribution system designs and configurations offered by GIS manufacturers.

Voltage detectors/indicators: A capacitive device, used to detect voltage presence without the use of a hot-stick, is typically provided. Three-position disconnect switches: A three-position disconnect switch consists of a single-contact system with one drive that has three positions: connected, open, and grounded. This switch is usually a non-load break switch. The threeposition switch is used to isolate the fixed-mounted vacuum circuit breaker and is also used to ground a line or load in combination with the circuit breaker. Terminations: Cable—Plug-in type cable terminations are the standard of the industry to connect power cables to GIS up to 52 kV. Air bushings—Directly mounted air bushings are not typically used in GIS. Bus bar and connections—All bus bar conductors are usually without insulating sleeves, boots, or coverings. Connections between GIS and transformers—These connections can be made through solid insulated bus, gas-insulated bus, bus duct, cable bus, or cable. Surge arresters—Plug-in, dry type surge arresters are commonly used in GIS. 4.1.5 Secondary equipment, control and protection data This subclause outlines in detail the required devices used for the control and protection of the GIS, and details the system interfaces with other components of the associated power system. The following describes the typical secondary equipment for the GIS: 

Protection, control, and interlocking



Monitoring



Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and communication interface



Wiring connections and interconnection requirements



Annunciation and alarms



Mimic bus diagram

The general requirements and specifications for secondary equipment data for the GIS do not differ substantially from those for conventional metal-clad switchgear and the associated IEEE and IEC standards can therefore be used as a reference. It should also be noted that GIS has disconnect and grounding switches that can be motorized as an option. The additional load of motor-operated switches needs to be considered in designing the station dc system.

IEEE Std C37.122.2-2011 IEEE Guide for the Application of Gas-Insulated Substations 1 kV to 52 kV

4.1.5.1 Controls Prior to preparing a detailed procurement specification, the user has to make the decision between conventional electro-mechanical controls and microprocessor-based multi-function relays for control, protection, and metering. Microprocessor-based multi-function control units, often called bay control units, offer a number of advantages over conventional controls. These devices greatly simplify the controls design and reduce the amount of secondary wiring by means of internal software logic. Software and hardware are permanently self-supervised. An integrated liquid crystal display (LCD) displays the single-line diagram with active position indications as well as measured signals, alarm annunciation, and other functions. Pushbuttons are available to select switching devices and operate them. All interlocking between the different switching devices of the GIS as well as interlocking with external devices are pre-programmed in the bay control unit. A serial interface for remote communication is standard for these devices and facilitates integration of the GIS into SCADA systems. All presently available types of microprocessor-based multi-function control units can be installed into the local control cabinet which is usually part of each section of the GIS. 4.1.5.2 Relay protection All required protection functions should be shown on a detailed metering and relaying one-line diagram. The user should list all protective functions that are required in a relay list that accompanies the single-line diagram. Common practice is to utilize multi-function microprocessor based protective relays that offer a choice of different protection functions as well as controls. Separate panels for protective relays may be required by the user. 4.1.5.3 Remote control interface It is important to specify the type of remote control and SCADA system that is desired. In the case of hardwired signals to a remote terminal unit (RTU), the user should specify the type and number of control and indication points to be wired. The GIS manufacturer should make sufficient provisions for terminal blocks and transducers. If a serial interface for protective relays or bay control units is utilized for remote control and supervision, it is important to provide detailed specifications for the communication medium and for the communication protocol in addition to the number and type of signals. 4.1.5.4 Interlocking The basic interlocking between disconnect switches, ground switches, and circuit breakers are provided by the manufacturer as a standard. In most cases, these interlocks are either electrical or intrinsic (in the case of three-position switches). If microprocessor-based bay control units are used, the interlocking becomes part of the control logic. The user should specify any additional interlocking requirements such as mechanical/key interlocking in the specification. External interlocking with connected switchgear or other parts of the GIS must be specified.

4.1.5.5 Control power The control voltage should be specified by the user. Control voltages are typically: 120 Vac, 240 Vac, 48 Vdc, 125 Vdc, 250 Vdc. 4.1.6 Control wiring practices The general control wiring practices for the GIS do not differ substantially from those of conventional metal-clad switchgear. The requirements of IEEE Std C37.20.2 can also be applied to the GIS. The following summarizes those requirements and highlights specific user requirements for the GIS. 4.1.6.1 Control, secondary, and logic-level wiring Flame-retardant, 600 V, 90 °C, insulated stranded tinned copper wire should be used for internal wiring between components of switchgear assemblies and to terminals for connection to external controls, metering, or instrumentation. Wiring within components is assumed to be covered by standards applicable to those devices and is not covered by this guide. Wiring for the purpose of providing power to external GIS loads is not covered by this guide. The GIS manufacturer is responsible for the performance of the wiring system provided by the manufacturer within the switchgear. This applies to the integrity of internally generated signals in the control wiring and may require the use of special precautions such as shielded wire and segregation of certain wires. 4.1.6.2 Wiring across hinges The wiring that crosses a hinge should be sufficiently flexible to withstand repeated door movement without sustaining damage to the wire strands or insulation. The loop formed by the wiring as it crosses the hinge should be covered by a protective wiring harness and secured to the equipment. The wire loop should be protected against damage if the door is removed. No sharp edges or objects should be allowed in the path of the wire loop while the door is operated. 4.1.6.3 Wire sizes Wire sizes should be specified by the manufacturer and shall be designed for the required maximum steady-state loads. The sizes chosen also should accommodate voltage drop within the switchgear, including the effect of intermittent heavy loads (shunt trip and close coils, inrush from relays, etc.). As a minimum, the criteria of IEEE Std C37.20.2, should be met. 4.1.6.4 Wire protection and support Bushings, grommets, or other mechanical protection should be provided for wiring where it passes through a metal sheet, barrier, or raceway. Wiring should be adequately supported to prevent stress from causing damage to the conductors or the insulation.

4.1.6.5 Terminal blocks Terminal blocks incorporating plug-in or screw terminals should accommodate wire lugs or similar devices affixed to stranded wire. Plug-in or screw type terminals intended for use with stranded wire should be such that all strands of the conductor are confined. Terminal blocks that incorporate pressure connectors should not damage the wire, and when terminating stranded conductors, all strands should be clamped within the connector. Terminal blocks for external control connections and current transformer connections to shorting type terminal blocks should be screw or ring tongue connections, and should be suitable to accept up to a wire size of AWG No. 10 stranded wire. 4.1.7 Grounding The grounding of the GIS equipment shall be in accordance with IEEE Std 80 and IEEE Std 142. 4.1.7.1 General The frame of each enclosure section should be provided with a grounding terminal pad or ground bus bar for connection to a grounding conductor suitable for the specified fault conditions. The short-circuit current ratings applicable to the grounding circuit shall be equal to or greater than the rated short time and rated peak withstand current rating. 4.1.7.2 Grounding of the primary circuit To ensure personnel safety during maintenance work, all parts of the main circuit to which access is required or provided shall be grounded prior to becoming accessible to personnel. This does not apply to removable parts (e.g., plug-in arresters or voltage transformers) which become accessible after being separated from the switchgear. Grounding may be accomplished by a combination of circuit breaker and three-position switch or by the application of worker’s grounds using a “hot stick” and grounding clamps after the circuit has been deenergized and tested for potential. 4.1.7.3 Grounding of the enclosure A ground bus should be included that will electrically connect together the structures in the GIS assembly in or on which primary equipment or devices are mounted. The GIS ground bus shall be connected to the ground grid in two locations or more as required by the manufacturer or by the grounding study. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) demands for the installation may require a special approach in the grounding of the switchgear. Factory-built transport units shall be interconnected during final installation through a grounding conductor. This interconnection between the adjacent transport units shall be capable of carrying the rated short-time and peak withstand current for the grounding circuit. If using single-phase enclosed switchgear, bonding connections (i.e., the interconnections between the enclosures of the three phases) should be installed to carry the induced current. Each of these bonding connections should be connected as directly as possible to the general ground grid by a conductor capable of carrying the rated short-time and peak withstand current for the grounding circuit. 17

4.1.8 Seismic requirements The following sub-sections contain guidelines to ensure functional adequacy of GIS installations under seismic disturbances. General recommendations on seismic design of substations are provided in IEEE Std 693. Further information is also provided in IEEE Std C37.122.1. In addition to this guide and the above-mentioned IEEE Standards and Guides, further detailed and sitespecific information has to be considered by the design engineer and discussed with the manufacturer. 4.1.8.1 Seismic features There are several features that distinguish the behavior of gas-insulated from air-insulated switchgear under seismic influence. a)

The GIS up to 52 kV is for indoor installation only. As a consequence, the building design needs to incorporate the site-specific seismic requirements.

b)

The GIS is characterized by a number of individual gas compartments. Their structural design ensures gas-tightness even under seismic conditions.

c)

The GIS typically improves the withstand capability under seismic stress due to increased compactness.

4.1.8.2 Seismic qualification methods The use of the methods and procedures described in IEEE Std 693 satisfies the requirements of this guide. Alternative methods that can be agreed between the user and the manufacturer include the following (for further description, see IEEE Std C37.122): 

Mathematical modeling



Analytical methods (static or dynamic)



Seismic testing per IEEE Std 693



Simplified seismic verification procedure for low seismic exposure

4.1.8.3 GIS building and foundations As much as practical, it is recommended to place all interconnected equipment on a monolithic foundation to reduce differential movement. If interconnected equipment is not on the same foundation, means to accommodate the expected differential movement should be provided. The building design and layout should follow the applicable building codes and have at least the same seismic withstand capability as the GIS, to prevent damage to the equipment from falling debris or collapse of the building. 4.1.8.4 Floor anchoring The GIS is typically bolted with leveling bolts or anchors to the floor frames or profiles that are embedded into the grouting of the foundation. Anchor systems should be designed to accommodate the tensile, shear, moment, and axial loads and any combination thereof that might be experienced during the design earthquake. Specific anchoring by means of bolting or welding should be considered in locations where

IEEE Std C37.122.2-2011 IEEE Guide for the Application of Gas-Insulated Substations 1 kV to 52 kV

seismic qualification is required. Tolerances for leveling of the line up should be coordinated with the manufacturer. 4.1.8.5 Interconnections to adjacent equipment Interconnections between items of equipment should accommodate large relative, axial, lateral, moment, and torsional motions as structurally and dynamically dissimilar structures experience large relative displacements under seismic conditions. Leads and interconnections should be designed to allow such displacement without damage. The methods and materials used for interconnections are an important consideration (e.g., cable connections versus bus connections) that should be discussed between the user and the manufacturer. 4.1.9 Monitoring systems 4.1.9.1 Gas pressure and density monitoring The gas pressure or gas density in the GIS is measured with manometers, electronic gas pressure sensors, or gas density monitors. All gas compartments are monitored. Typically one or more auxiliary contacts are provided for remote or local signaling of pressure alarm indication. The low pressure lock-out function typically used for high-voltage SF 6 breakers is not typically applied in this type of GIS, because the interruption performance of the vacuum circuit breakers is not affected by the surrounding SF 6 pressure.

4.2 Installation, operation, and maintenance 4.2.1 Safety The recommendations of this subclause are not intended to replace or invalidate present applicable standards of safety, but rather to augment such standards with respect to the special factors involved in the operation and maintenance of GIS equipment. 4.2.1.1 General The GIS is intended to operate in all cases where the installation and maintenance is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation and maintenance instructions. The GIS should be operated and maintained by skilled and trained personnel only. 4.2.1.2 Operational safety Due to the gas-tight sealing, foreign solid objects and dust cannot enter the compartments. Depending on the basic design of the switchgear, any moisture penetrating the seals is absorbed by desiccant agents mounted inside the individual compartments. The GIS pressure systems are sealed for the expected operational life of the switchgear and have gas pressure or density monitoring equipment. In the case of gas losses, the switchgear can still be operated since the rated performance is ensured down to the minimum operating pressure as stated by the manufacturer. The pressure alarm is typically set to

initiate before the lowest permissible pressure is reached. Provision should be made for the alarm(s) to be transmitted to the user’s central control room. The user should consult the manufacturer on the course of action to take as a result of loss of gas pressure. 4.2.1.3 Personnel safety The GIS offers a high level of safety to the operator regarding electric shock with respect to the primary circuit. When viewports are used as a means of switch contact position verification, a sign should be installed near each viewport to warn of possible danger when viewing the interior during switch operation. The suggested wording is as follows: WARNING Do not look into the view port during switch operation. Arcing may damage your eyes. The area around the viewport and/or viewport cover should be painted in a distinctive color for easier identification of viewport locations. 4.2.1.3.1 Personnel safety during normal operation GIS incorporating vacuum circuit breakers does not produce toxic by-products originating out of current quenching arcs. The insulation gas stays stable. If the gas needs to be removed in case of maintenance work, then gas maintenance equipment should be used to minimize environmental effects. 4.2.1.3.2 Personnel safety in the event of faults Gas leakage may occur after a severe electrical or mechanical failure of the enclosure system. In such a case leakages of SF 6 can be expected from the compartments concerned. If heat (fire, arcing) is involved, additional decompositions may be expected as part of the leaking gas. Personnel should not enter rooms in this case. Rooms should only be entered when sufficient forced ventilation is in place. In the event of an internal arc fault, pressure builds up in the enclosure and gas with by-products will be relieved through a rupture disk/pressure relief device into the switchgear room. Hot gasses should be routed away from the operating areas to minimize the risk of injuries. After such an incident, the switchgear room should be ventilated thoroughly before any personnel enter the room. Protective equipment such as masks, gloves, etc. should be used while cleaning the equipment and the switchgear room. Dry, powdery residual substances should be removed, preferably with an industrial vacuum cleaner (filter size 0.3 µm). For more specific information refer to CIGRE 276. 4.2.2 Installation, transport, storage, and equipment handling It is essential that the transport, storage, and installation of the GIS as well as their operation and maintenance in service, be performed in accordance with instructions given by the manufacturer.

4.2.2.1 Transport, storage, installation, and operation The manufacturer should provide the appropriate instruction manuals for the transport, storage, installation, operation, and maintenance of the GIS. The instructions for the transport and storage should be provided at a convenient time before delivery, and the instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance should be provided by the time of delivery at the latest. The operation manual may be a separate document from the installation and maintenance manual. The subject GIS is typically shipped partially or completely filled with SF 6 . Details and complete instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance should be provided by the manufacturer. 4.2.2.2 Conditions during transport, storage, and installation A special agreement should be made between the manufacturer and the user if the service conditions of temperature and humidity defined in the order cannot be guaranteed during transport, storage, and installation. Special precautions may be essential for the protection of insulation during transport, storage, and installation prior to energizing in order to prevent moisture absorption for instance, due to rain, snow, or condensation. Impact recorders or similar devices may be used to monitor impacts or vibrations during transport. Appropriate instructions should be provided. If the switchgear is to be stored for a long period of time, consult with the manufacturer. 4.2.2.3 Installation, unpacking, and lifting For each type of GIS equipment the instructions provided by the manufacturer should include the required information for unpacking and lifting safely, including details of any special lifting and positioning devices which may be necessary. 4.2.2.4 Assembly and installation When the GIS is not fully assembled for transport at the factory, all transport units should be clearly marked. Drawings showing assembly of these parts must be provided with the GIS. Instructions for the installation of the GIS and auxiliary equipment should include sufficient details of locations and foundations to enable site preparation to be completed. These instructions should also indicate the total weight of the apparatus including insulating gas, the weight of SF 6 gas, the weight of the heaviest part of the apparatus to be lifted separately if it exceeds 100 kg (220 lb), and instructions for leveling the switchgear assemblies. 4.2.2.5 Connections Instructions should include information on connections of conductors, connection of auxiliary circuits, connection of grounding, assembly of plug-in connections, and use of cable termination tool kits. 4.2.2.6 Final installation and inspection Instructions should be provided for inspection and tests which should be made after the GIS has been installed and all connections have been completed. These instructions should include a schedule of recommended site tests to establish correct operation, procedures for carrying out any adjustment that may be necessary to obtain correct operation, recommendations for any relevant measurements that should be made and recorded to help with future maintenance decisions, and instructions for final inspection and placing into service.

4.2.3 Gas handling 4.2.3.1 General characteristics of SF 6 SF 6 is a heavy, nontoxic gas consisting of one sulfur atom surrounded by six fluorine atoms. As fluorine is the strongest of oxidizers, the fluorine atoms of SF 6 are tightly bound to the sulfur atom, resulting in a highly stable molecule. As a result of its symmetry, the intermolecular forces between SF 6 molecules are very low, resulting in a very low liquefaction temperature for its relatively high molecular weight. Most materials of similar molecular weight are liquids or solids at room temperature. CAS number:

2551-62-4

Molecular weight:

146.05 g/mol, 5.15 oz/mol

Density:

6.07 kg/m³ at 20 °C and 100 kPa, 0.379 pound/foot³ at 68 °F and 14.5 PSI

Voltage withstand:

8.8 kV/cm bar (air: 3.3 kV/cm bar) , 22.35 kV/inch PSI (air: 8.38 kV/inch PSI) in homogeneous field. Highly electronegative.

For detailed information of physical characteristics see ASTM D2472. 4.2.3.2 Purchasing SF 6 is supplied highly compressed as a liquid in containers. New gas shall meet the requirements of ASTM D2472 or IEC 60376. Any consignment should be accompanied by a certificate of compliance or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). 4.2.3.3 Storage Containers should be handled with care and stored in dry cool places not exposed to the sun and away from any flammable or explosive material. Containers should be stored with their outlet valves directed upwards and well secured. The containers should be clearly labeled as to identify their contents. 4.2.3.4 Filling of switchgear Personnel should be familiar with the properties of SF 6 and should strictly follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the GIS for filling and/or evacuation. 4.2.4 Site work Foundations should be capable of carrying the load of the GIS with suitable excess margin as well as the desired rolling load. Further, the foundations should meet the relevant seismic codes. Further requirements with regard to leveling, surface, etc. shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction manuals. The connection between the ground bus of the GIS and the ground grid of the substation should have at least the same current withstand as the ground bus of the GIS. Preferably the ground connection to the ground grid should be made on either end of the GIS. The grounding of the GIS equipment should be in accordance with IEEE Std 80. 23
