1 Guideline for Creating Disconnection Points and Establishing a Not Document Number: Authorised by: Issue Date: 29 June 2012 Previous Document: 12 February 2010 Principal Authors: J Dohmen Powerlink D Brown Ergon R Gordon Energex. Page 1 of June 2012
2 1.0 Introduction This Guideline has been developed by Powerlink, Ergon Energy and Energex to provide an industry Guideline for the creation of HV Disconnection Points and HV Not Electrically Connected Areas. The provision of this Guideline is to support safe systems of work for activities in a High Voltage electricity network environment. Note: Where practical, preference shall be given to using the Queensland Electricity Entity Procedures for Safe Access to High Voltage Electrical Apparatus (SAHVEA) and Electricity Entity approved procedures 2.0 Scope The requirements of this Guideline apply to all persons intending to establish or are establishing a Not for the purposes of conducting work on or Near previously commissioned Electricity Entity HV Electrical Apparatus. This Guideline shall not be applied to any structures with multiple circuits unless all sources of supply are Disconnected from the network by Disconnection Points and deemed Not Electrically Connected (e.g.: twin circuit HV towers or poles or a combination of circuits on a pole). A Not Notice (the Notice) shall be issued whenever work is being performed in a Not. Only one Notice shall be on issue for any delineated Work Area within a Not. 3.0 Purpose To provide guidelines for the creation and control of an area suitably disconnected from all possible sources of High Voltage supply or energisation. To provide a guideline for establishing a Not for High Voltage Electrical Apparatus by the creation of Disconnection Points and other Control Measures. To ensure that: A safe working environment is achieved when working on or Near High Voltage Electrical Apparatus within a Not, High Voltage Electrical Apparatus within a Not is in an electrically safe condition through the creation of Disconnection Points and the application of earthing. The Queensland Electricity Entity Procedures for Safe Access to High Voltage Electrical Apparatus or Approved High Voltage Live work methods or Approved LV procedures are used to establish a Not. Establishing a Not is conducted in a safe and coordinated manner. Any sources of supply capable of causing inadvertent High Voltage energisation are Disconnected. Switching Coordinators are aware of the status of the High Voltage network. Page 2 of June 2012
3 Data and Records pertaining to Electrical Apparatus are available before a Not is created. All persons and mobile plant and equipment are clear before High Voltage Electrical Apparatus is handed over for re-energisation. The Issue of the Notice has been recorded as a switching operation on an associated Switching Sheet. The return of the Notice is recorded in accordance with Electricity Entity Procedures. 4.0 Defining a Not 4.1 Substations For substation High Voltage Electrical Apparatus, any Not shall be delineated in accordance with the Queensland Electrical Supply Industry Substation Barrier Chart, by the use of the following: A barrier of white tape or white flag bunting with NOT ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED black text erected at a height of approximately 1.3 metres from ground level with a single appropriately sized opening; or A combination of steel mesh panels with a white tape or white flag bunting with NOT ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED black lettering and erected at a height of approximately 1.3 metres from ground level with a single entry point. The barrier shall not be erected within the relevant Exclusion Zone to the Live side of the Disconnection Point. A white sign bearing the words NOT ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED in black text shall be placed at the entrance point to the Work Area. 4.2 Overhead and Underground HV Lines For Overhead and Underground HV Electrical Apparatus, any Not Electrically Connected Area established shall be delineated by: A white sign bearing the words NOT ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED in black text placed at each Disconnection Point on the Not side; or A barrier of white tape or white flag bunting with NOT ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED black text attached around the tower/pole at a height of approximately 1.3 metres from ground level at each Disconnection Point on the Not side; or A combination of both of the above methods Note: Barriers and signs used to delineate the Not shall not be removed or altered without the consent of the Entity Representative and the On Site Supervisor, with all amendments recorded on the Not Notice. Page 3 of June 2012
4 5.0 Establishing a Not A Not can be established provided Disconnection Point/s and Control Measures are established in accordance with this Guideline. An application for work or Live work shall be submitted to the relevant Outage Coordinator in accordance with Electricity Entity requirements for all work to establish a Not Electrically Connected Area on the previously commissioned network. The following shall be recorded on the Notice: a) Description of the HV Electrical Apparatus Not Electrically Connected b) Disconnection Points including any sources of supply which may cause inadvertent HV energisation c) Earthing applied prior to the issue of the Notice d) Barrier and signage details e) Work details and location f) Nearby Live HV/LV g) Additional Earthing applied and removed to limit the rise in potential difference at the Work Area h) Issue, Receipt and Return details (date, Issuer name and signature, Receiver name & signature) i) Workgroup sign on, sign off j) Abnormalities. In addition to the above: a) Any known sources of stored energies and other identified hazards in the Not shall be recorded on the Notice b) A site plan or other appropriate diagram/drawing may be required to identify the Work Area and Disconnection Points to parties associated with the Not. 6.0 Establishing a Disconnection Point High Voltage Electrical Apparatus can be considered to be Not Electrically Connected provided Disconnection Point/s and Control Measures in accordance with this Guideline are established. Where a non-flashover distance is to be utilised in the establishment of a Disconnection Point, it must be assessed and Approved by an appropriately qualified and authorised electrical engineer on a case by case basis. Any such approval shall be documented. NOTE: WHERE A DISCONNECTION POINT IS ESTABLISHED BY MAINTAINING NON- FLASHOVER DISTANCES, IT MAY NOT MAINTAIN OR PROVIDE THE RELEVANT EXCLUSION ZONE CLEARANCES! Page 4 of June 2012
5 To establish a Disconnection Point: a) A section of Conductor shall be removed in accordance with the relevant Electricity Entity s Approved procedure and may include the removal of VT connections as possible energisation points b) Removal of one end of the Conductor is acceptable, in accordance with Approved Electricity Entity procedures, if Approved by an appropriately qualified and authorised electrical engineer. c) Queensland Electricity Entity Procedures for Safe Access to High Voltage Electrical Apparatus [SAHVEA] or Approved HV Live Work methods shall be used. 7.0 Earthing The Electricity Entity shall ensure the Not Electrically Connected HV Electrical Apparatus has initial earthing applied prior to the issue of a Not Notice. The On Site Supervisor shall ensure that while work is in progress, earthing is maintained to suit the progress of work and to limit the rise in potential difference at the Work Area. Only appropriately trained and qualified persons shall apply and remove earths. All Earths placed and removed shall be recorded on the Not Notice. 8.0 Working 8.1 Prior to any work being performed or undertaken in a Not, the Notice shall be issued. When work is being performed within a defined Not, care must be taken to ensure that all personnel are aware of the relevant Exclusion Zone that is required to be maintained by them at all times. Personnel or Mobile Plant are not permitted to pass through barriers used to delineate the Not without the consent of the On Site Supervisor after a valid risk assessment has been performed and all Control Measures identified are in place. All known sources of supply and sources of stored energy in the area shall be identified to the work group during induction processes into the Not.
