This guideline covers additions and additions when performing electrical work on or in
connection with Svenska kraftnät's high-voltage installations in addition to the
requirements set in the EBR electrical safety instructions ESA dated September 2019.
ESA refers to ESA (Basic + Work), ESA Instructed Person - Non-electrical work, ESA
Röjning i ledningsgata - Skog, as well as documents and forms belonging to these
publications. ESA, together with these supplementary guidelines, gives employers, in
collaboration with Svenska kraftnät's electricity plant managers, the opportunity to
work safely at, near or next to Svenska kraftnät's electrical installations. NOTE! These
instructions must always be followed.
This guideline is designed to correspond to the section structure within ESA - Foundation
and Work. The section numbering therefore restarts after each part.
As the guideline mainly deals with additions, clarifications and special
applications within Svenska kraftnät to ESA, sections may be missing. These
sections are clarified with a wording as follows: No supplementation,
clarification or special application of ESA Basic or Work.
NOTE! For additions, clarifications and special applications for ESA Instructed
Person, ESA Röjning i ledningsgata - Skog, Svenska kraftnät deviates from following
the section structure.
Systematic HSE requirements that are set for construction, civil engineering and
maintenance work, storage operations, consulting services in planning and design and
other similar assignments for Svenska kraftnät are found in TR13-01 and apply in parallel
with this guideline. Other work environment requirements are specified in Svenska
kraftnät's technical guidelines in the TR13-02 series.
Svenska kraftnät has adopted the electricity industry's common electrical safety instructions
ESA. Svenska kraftnät requires, in accordance with ESA, that the Supplier who carries out the
work on or in connection with the electrical installation has adopted ESA.
Svenska kraftnät recommends that special risk management be carried out for pregnant
employees when working at an electrical installation.
The requirements cover the operations that the Supplier conducts in accordance with contracts with
Svenska kraftnät. The requirements also apply to all Subcontractors and Sub-Consultants who work
within the assignment. The Supplier with whom Svenska kraftnät has signed an agreement is
responsible for ensuring that the requirements in this document are complied with.
Contractor and Projector / Consultant are referred to below as Supplier and Svenska
kraftnät as Client.

Purchaser.
3.1 Employer
Clarification
For any maintenance measures performed by the Purchaser's personnel or by hired
personnel, the Purchaser is to be regarded as the employer. Within the Purchaser, the
employer's duties are delegated to a special work environment delegation.
Tasks performed by the Supplier's personnel take place under the Supplier's employer
responsibility.
3.2 Holder
Clarification
The Purchaser's Director General is the holder of the Purchaser's electrical installations
(transmission network) with the materials, equipment and appliances that are installed in
the installation and that are needed for its operation. As the holder and electrical
installation manager, the Director General has delegated tasks in accordance with the
Purchaser's electrical safety delegation.
For the transfer of ownership responsibility, see TR13-03-01 (Svenska kraftnät's supplementary
requirements for reporting self-inspection of electrical installation and responsibility for
construction projects), section 6.
Special application
Electrical installation work regarding cable routing of the transmission network's 220 kV and 400 kV
high-voltage cables shall be carried out by companies that are registered within the business type
Electricity network High voltage1.
1 Trainingof installers who perform cable laying takes place on the basis of EBR document KJ41: 15. KJ41: 15 includes cable installations up to
145 kV Since the transmission network's high voltage cables exceed the voltage level for which KJ41: 15 is adapted, all cable routing for the
transmission network's high voltage cables must be carried out within the business type High Voltage Electricity Network.
> The limit for owner liability and electrical installation liability mainly coincides with the
ownership limit. Limit must be stated in the operating schedule.
> The boundary of the switching area with associated switching responsibility shall be
determined so that it fits the neighboring companies' Electrical Installation Managers. The
limit for connection responsibility must be clear and easy to observe. When determining
the limit, a switching device should preferably be selected in the vicinity of the limit for
electrical system responsibility, which in practice often means disconnectors to the busbar.
Deviations may, however, occur with regard to the design of the electrical system or for
organizational reasons. Limit must be stated in the operating schedule.
The basic rule is that the electric drive conductor who represents the owner of the border device is the
only one who has the right to operate the border device. Deviations from this rule must be agreed in
writing between the relevant electricity plant managers (operation). Operation of the boundary device,
as well as of the switches belonging to the union, shall take place after consultation between the
adjacent electrical system managers (operation).
Before a new electrical system part (line or busbar) can be slackened towards the transmission
network system, the system part must be inspected by the electrical installation company with
an approved result. Prior to commissioning, a commissioning check (according to the
Purchaser's internal governing document no. 77) must also be carried out by the electrical
system manager for maintenance and operation or its representative. The scope of the
inspection is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Special application
When working on submarine cable between countries, the following principles are applied:
> Within Swedish territorial waters, Swedish electrical safety legislation applies.
Correspondingly, the legislation of another country applies to its territorial waters.
In cases where the submarine cable runs in an international area, the middle principle applies
unless otherwise stated, ie. Swedish rules apply from the Swedish side to a center defined by
agreement on the submarine cable.
> In the case of overhead lines, an overhead line post defined by agreement at the national
border applies as a limit for the application of national legislation or regulations.
For neighboring connections, communication in English is permitted during care measures and
exchange of evidence.
Due to the fact that our neighboring countries' regulations in some cases deviate from the Swedish
regulations, earthing switches on the boundary line may need to be blocked in the closed position
before work without voltage - AYY.

1 Preface
2 Care measures
2.1 Generally
Clarification
Arrival and departure to the operating room, pipeline street or cable tunnel / cable culvert must always be
reported to the electrical operations manager. In the case of stay restrictions, section (2.1.2, page 31) applies.
> to increase safety margins as soon as possible in the event of a rescue operation (for
example when extinguishing a ground or forest fire in a main street, fire in switchgear,
removing a person from a pole)
> Emergency disconnection can also be performed as a direct connection measure in connection
with an acute and serious fault in the electrical system. In the event of an emergency break, the
electrical operation conductor disconnects the affected part of the system only with a switch.
However, the plant part may have a lower but still dangerous potential and must not be touched. If
a completely electrically safe system is required, disconnectors must be opened and blocked and
the system part earthed according to normal routing procedures (ESA working method - AUS). If an
emergency failure affects another person responsible for the electrical system, he shall
immediately notified.
Completion
Within the Purchaser, there are routines regarding restrictions for access to operating rooms and high-
voltage cable systems. What is meant by operating room and separate area within operating room is
illustrated in the picture.
Switchgear
advise / Separate
area of operation
room
Figure 2 which explains the operating room and a separate area within the operating room.
Access to operating room and high voltage cable system during normal operation
Access to operating rooms and high-voltage cable systems must be restrictive due to
general risks of fire, explosion or arc. Under certain conditions, there may also be a
danger of contact within these parts of the facility. Access may take place after risk
management. Access takes place mainly for periodic inspections, technical rounds,
inspections, inspections or maintenance measures.
Access restriction
The customer can issue a restriction for an entire operating room or separate area within the
operating room as well as a high-voltage cable system, e.g. radius of X meters from Y apparatus.
Access may then only take place to and from the control building. Affected parts are shielded
with marking tape and appropriations if the restriction is set up clearly visible to those affected.
If the restricted area extends outside the fence, clear signage and roadblocks for the public
must be carried out.
In the event of an access restriction, only ESA qualified personnel may enter the operating
room. For other persons, a restraining order applies to the facility. Short-term access to
switchgear area may only take place for a limited maintenance measure (check that the maneuvering
measure has been carried out and work grounding) after written risk management.
Access ban
Refers to an absolute ban on all access to the operating room, or separate area within the
operating room or high-voltage cable system within an area of Xmeter from Y device. The area
can be screened with marking tape after risk management and appropriations must be set up
in a suitable place and clearly visible in connection with access roads. If the prohibited area
extends outside the fence, clear signage and barriers for the public must be carried out. As the
ban makes it impossible for all forms of maintenance measures in the relevant facility, the
relevant facility section must be disconnected by the electrical operations manager before
access can take place.
Introduction of restrictions
When a known or suspected fault exists on an operational part of the facility which as a result
entails a risk to a person, a risk management must be carried out in order to assess the extent of
the risk and possibly introduce some type of restriction according to the definitions above. Risk
management must be documented. In risk management, it must also be evaluated who is to be
informed and to what extent. Decisions on restrictions are made by Maintenance Manager
Maintenance in consultation with interested parties.

5 Affected parties refer to, for example, the customer's electrical operations manager, maintenance contractor, Svk-Vhr, Svk-Vhi, Svk-Tib, Svk-press-
emergency services, as well as affiliated electricity managers
Special application
In the event of a operational changeover for the reconstruction of a network after a disturbance (test connections) or
in the event of a load redistribution, the contact position of the disconnector may be assessed by indication.
Maneuvering of disconnectors from actuators, so-called manual maneuvering, may only be carried out in exceptional
cases and only after risk management has been carried out and after permission from the electrical operation
conductor.

In the event of a deviation> 3%, a risk assessment shall be performed and the need for residence restrictions in
If work is carried out within a safety distance for high-voltage cable, a representative of the
Purchaser must be able to be present to carry out risk management and monitor the work. If
risk management shows that there is an electrical risk, an electrical safety conductor must be
appointed. If risk management indicates a high electrical risk, the work must be stopped until
the high-voltage cable can be de-energized so that the continued work can be carried out in a
safe manner. Vertical drilling, demolition, or excavation of pipes, terminals, piles or the like
must not be done within a safety distance for high-voltage cables.
Within the careful laying distance, high-voltage cables must be laid with great
care. Methods for careful exposure can be either by hand digging, sand suction,
or other suitable method. (See Figure 1 page 16).
More detailed information about the distance between objects and the grounded high-voltage
cable can be read in the Purchaser's document - Guidance for operations on the grounded
cable in the main network, which is available on the Purchaser's website.
Special application
The supplier must note that cable routing of 220 kV and 400 kV high voltage cables is not
supported by EBR training in cable routing. For cable routing of the transmission network's
high voltage cables, it is required that the installer is registered with the Swedish Electrical
Safety Agency under activity type Electricity network - High voltage.

> Different systems and different components in each system (eg inverters, DC
switchgear, cable, filter components, etc.) have different discharge times.
Function check of discharge equipment must be done before voltage test.
> Couplings are made to varying degrees by sequential coupling measures where disconnection,
blocking and earthing are included in a chain of measures. These measures do not always follow
the sequence specified in ESA. Maneuvering of individual objects is possible but should be avoided
for safety reasons, and may only take place with the permission of the electrical operator. Before
submitting the connection confirmation to the electrical conductor, a visual check must be made
that the intended connection position has been reached.
Special application
Explosion planning
When blasting next to the Purchaser's operational electrical systems, risk management must be carried
out with regard to both blasting technical risks and risks that are associated with the electrical system's
possible impact on charging and ignition kits. Considering the social significance of the electrical
installation and the electrical risks of the electrical installation if it is damaged during blasting, this must
also be taken into account when blasting next to the electrical installation.
Blasting must be planned in accordance with current regulations from the Swedish Work Environment
Authority, good explosion safety technical practice and in other respects in accordance with EBR IN068: 16.
Personnel carrying out blasting must have at least a competency certificate from ESA
Instructed Person. Alternatively, they must work under the supervision of an ESA Expert.
Instructed or Expert Electrical Safety Manager must be available at the workplace.
When blasting closer than 100 meters from the Purchaser's switchgear, or overhead line, (for
high voltage cable 20 meters), the blasting base must submit a blasting plane to the Purchaser no
later than three (3) weeks before blasting. As blasting can pose a serious risk to the electrical
systems' construction and operational reliability, the Purchaser may require blasting technical
control as well as equipment for vibration measurement.
Within a distance of 50 meters from the Purchaser's switchgear, overhead line or high
voltage cable, electrical ignition cables and detonator wires must not come into contact
with earth, as there may be a risk of accidental initiation due to ground potentials from the
power line. Non-electric ignition systems should be used in this area as they are not
initiated by electric fields. When the blasting plan for planned blasting work has been
submitted by the blasting base to the Purchaser, the following measures must be taken in
good time before the blasting:
> If the blasting is deemed to require an interruption in the electrical system or other electrical
safety measures due to high risk factors, the blasting base must submit a work request.
> (including risk management) to the Purchaser's unit for operational planning. The work request
must be received by the Purchaser no later than ten (10) working days before the planned
blasting.
> The customer's unit for operational planning then informs those involved, for example the
electrical operations manager, maintenance engineer, project manager, maintenance supplier
and the supplier's responsible for blasting, via an operation message about blasting.
ningen.
- Time
Implementation of blasting
Before blasting
> No later than two working days before blasting, the blasting base shall request a preliminary
permit for blasting from the Purchaser's unit for operational planning.
> Electrical operation conductor deactivates automatic reconnection for the affected system
before blasting
> Blasting base requests blasting permit for blasting of electrical conductors before charging
according to section (8.7, page 27)
> Blasting base notifies electrical conduction conductor before blasting takes place.
After blasting
> Blasting base reports to electrical operations managers on completed blasting and on
continued work.
> The customer checks measurement data from any vibration measurement.
Completion
Before the demolition of the Purchaser's high-voltage system begins, electrical
system operation must ensure that disconnection measures are carried out in
accordance with the Purchaser's governing document no. Other requirements
for demolition are specified in the Purchaser's technical guideline TR13-04-01
Requirements regarding the environment and health.
3.7 Disconnection
No supplementation, clarification or special application of ESA Arbete.
Blocking of the Purchaser's disconnecting switch takes place via remote or distance
maneuvers. During blocking maneuvers, the electrical switch is blocked both mechanically
and electrically via the control system. These two barriers can be done in one or two steps.
Signage is done by reliable indication on the actuator for the blockage,
by indication in the control system and in the Purchaser's operational monitoring
system. Signage and blockage must be checked visually on site.
Special application
In the case of connections where disconnecting switches form the boundary of the workplace, electrical
safety conductors can carry out additional safety measures by fitting locks on the mechanical lock of the
actuator. The electrical safety manager is responsible for removing the lock before the operating
certificate is submitted, or before the work certificate is returned. See section (3.17, page 43).
Voltage tests on DC system neutral conductors are not possible for technical reasons
perform.
Special application
Voltage testing according to ESA does not need to be performed in systems with disconnecting
switches as work grounding takes place via remote or distance maneuvers. Before remote or
distance maneuvering of working ground may take place without a prior voltage test, the
electrical operation manager / connection assistant must make sure that no personnel are
present within the switchgear area.
Completion
Voltage tests must always be performed on high-voltage equipment for HVDC
before starting work. In this context, special attention should be paid to longer
discharge times compared to AC systems. Function check of discharge
equipment must be done before voltage test.
Special application
The 400 kV switchgear in Lindbacka is of the GIS model and equipped with an interlocking
chain that does not allow blocking before working ground.
3.11.2 Disconnecting circuit breakers in Ajaure, Untra and reactor circuit breakers in
Odensala
Special application
In these stations, disconnecting switches are designed so that there is only one electrical
block before working ground. Work grounding and mechanical blocking take place
then in one and the same maneuver.
Completion
The customer's recommended value for transition resistance, <100 Ω. The employer at the
Supplier has the ultimate responsibility for determining a value that applies to the work in
question.
3.13.2 Release
Special application
In the Purchaser's operating order, working earth is only applied in the places from which voltage can
be supplied. The electrical safety manager is responsible for work grounding and possible equalization
of potential at the workplace.
Special application
When working with a sheathed high-voltage cable included in a transmission network
system, the end points of the high-voltage cable can be earthed with earthing devices with
an area corresponding to equipotential bonding, provided that the high-voltage cable has
been completely slackened off before working earth is applied. Minimum area of working
ground is 25 mm².
3.13.3 Switchgear
Special application
Special application
In connection with performing measurements for equalization of ground potential, the prevailing
potentials and currents caused by induction shall be taken into account. It must be handled in
Risk-P and Risk-U.
Special application
Common to the Purchaser's HVDC links are the interlock locking systems, which are a system
whose function is to ensure that valve halls are always versatile disconnected and grounded
before access to the hall is possible. In order to meet the technical requirements and design of
the locking system, it is required in some cases that working earths are applied before
disconnectors are opened.
Neutral conductors on SwePol Link are system grounded in Stärnö. These must always be
earthed before they are separated from the zero point in Stärnö.
Completion
When maneuvering or working, the chassis must be earthed in fixed earth roofs for the relevant system.
Work basket on lift must be connected to the grounding point of the load-bearing machine.
Note that intermediate booms on lifts, concrete pumps, sugars, mobile cranes or other similar
implements must be equipotential bonded to the ground point of the load-bearing machine.
Work on management
Chassis on rubber wheels or rubber-banded implements or vehicles must be
ground to the ground when moving to avoid any influence.
When maneuvering or working, the chassis must be earthed with a ground screw to the local
earth socket with reliable transition resistance according to section (3.12.1, page 39). To avoid
dangerous energization of implements in the event of thunderstorms or earth faults on the line,
earthing via the ground on the line pole must be avoided. Grounding via a pipe pole may only be
used if local earthworks cannot be secured, for example when working on rock, rock masses or
dry sand.
Work basket on lift must be connected to the grounding point of the load-bearing machine.
Note that intermediate booms on lifts, concrete pumps, sugars, mobile cranes or other similar
implements must be equipotential bonded to the ground point of the load-bearing machine.
3.18 Work
No supplementation, clarification or special application of ESA Arbete.
3.20 Connection
No supplementation, clarification or special application of ESA Arbete.
Completion
When working on the Purchaser's overhead line and ground-level high-voltage cable, it
must be taken into account that the line network can always be affected by induction,
either by its own parallel line sections or by other lines responsible for electrical
installations.
3.21.2 Influence
No supplementation, clarification or special application of ESA Arbete.
3.21.3 Induction
No supplementation, clarification or special application of ESA Arbete.
Completion
The supplier is responsible for taking forward method instructions for handling
complementary safety measures when working on parallel lines.
Clarification
Induction can be measured or calculated according to the following methods:
> Induction measurement, residual voltage between current conductor and earth must be performed
continuously.
> Calculated according to the method described in ESA Work, Appendices 1 and 2
Special application
> The customer's facilities can always be affected by induction.
> Due to induction, the Supplier must always perform supplementary safety measures in
accordance with the Supplier's method instructions for induction work.
3.21.6 Calculation
No supplementation, clarification or special application of ESA Arbete.
After working grounding and equipotential bonding have been performed and before
starting work, the remaining induced voltage must be measured. Measurement is made
between the current object and soil. If the influence from the parallel line is so great that it
exceeds 50 V, the distance between working ground / equipotential bonding must be
reduced. This should be checked continuously via manual measurement or alarm function
as the residual induced voltage is constantly changing.
Important: If the distance between working ground / equipotential bonding is longer than
4 km, additional working ground must be applied so that the distance of 4 km is not
exceeded.
It is of the utmost importance that all working earths and equipotential bonding at a
workplace are connected to earth with the same earth extraction point. This avoids
separate systems with different potentials. The recommended value of the transition
resistance in the ground is <100 Ω. The employer at the Supplier has the ultimate
responsibility for determining a value that applies to the work in question.
Figure 4 Principle sketch for earthing measures for tow-free rope pulling.
Grounding by line trolley with built-in trailer ground according to (fig. 5) must be done with at least 50
mm² Cu and a short-circuited spark gap to the ground conductor. The down line is mounted between
the lower arc ring (arc horn) and the rule so that it cannot abut against the phase line.
All machines and vehicles from which ropes run must be equipotential bonded (braking machine,
pilot machine, tractor, drum stand, trailer for pilot line and trailer for traction line) and connected
to a common ground. Trailing ground should be used on each line. There must be a distance for
the trailer earths. Once the phase and top lines have been laid, all lines must be connected
(equipotential bonded) and connected to a common
ground roof
Fig. 6 Grounding measures on brake position and traction position in connection with rope pulling.
NOTE! Prior to mounting / dismounting grounding clamps, the spark gap must be
temporarily shorted with a working ground. Spring-loaded clamp of, for example,
the type of battery cables is not approved for use as a temporary short circuit of
spark gaps.
Short circuit of spark gap (Fig. 7) means a potential equalization. It provides the conditions
for an efficient (local) working ground on the pole.

Special application
Work according to ESA working method Work with voltage - AMS is not permitted at
the Purchaser's HVDC facilities.
Completion
Electrical conductors must immediately inform electrical safety leaders in cases where protection or
protective cooperation is out of order so that electrical safety leaders can perform new risk management
(Risk-U).
When working with the working method Working with tension - AMS, bulky tools must meet the
requirements required by the working method.
Flushing of switchgear
Flushing can be done using fixed flushing equipment or manually.
Flushing of switchgear can be carried out as Work with voltage, Special work with voltage (sAMS).
The work may only be carried out by a professional who is trained in the current method for
flushing switchgear. Regardless of whether the work is carried out with fixed rinsing equipment
or manual rinsing, the following measures must be taken;
> The employer plans the work, carries out Risk-P and appoints electrical safety
managers. Electrical safety managers must be fully familiar with both the work, the
workplace and any equipment, as well as current regulations, standards and
instructions.
> A prerequisite for all work is that personal protective equipment is used and
that the insulated tools and equipment necessary for work with voltage must be
able to be used for the work.
> A work request must be made in writing to the electrical operations manager.
> When working on a live system with automatic reconnection (såi, fåi,
or duba) the automation must always be out of order.
> To warn that work with voltage is in progress and to prevent connection of tripped circuit
breakers, marking should be performed in the electrical conductor's monitoring system at
the points from which connection can take place.
> Written work certificates are submitted by the electrical operations manager to the electrical safety manager.
> Risk management during execution (Risk-U) is carried out and documented
before work begins.
When flushing with fixed flushing equipment, the electrical operation conductor must
ensure that automatic reconnection (såi, fåi, or duba) is taken out of operation, both in the
affected switchgear and in adjacent switchgear. Manual flushing of switchgear must always
be carried out by disconnecting incoming cables in adjacent stations. However, switchgear
does not need to be blocked or grounded.

1.2 Work
Clarification
Forest maintenance measures at the customer's electrical installations must be conducted so
that vegetation is not given the opportunity to involve electrical risks for the installation or for
the personnel who are to work with forest measures. The customer's lead streets must be tree-
safe.
Work must mainly be planned as non-electrical work, which means that the work must
preferably be carried out with automatic reconnection in operation. Removal of
vegetation that after risk management requires ESA methods Work Near Tension-
ANS, especially Work With Tension-sAMS, or Work Without Tension-AUS
shall be specially planned and executed in accordance with ESA rules.
1.3.1 Generally
Clarification
Topping of tall trees under the bevel lines shall mainly be conducted as Work Near
Tension (ANS). If risk management identifies additional risks, alternative ESA Work
Without Voltage-AUS must be used. The work must be carried out so that the distance
between vegetation and live phase line is determined by measurement before the
topping.
Special application
DC links with pole and neutral conductors in the same poles are built as a tree-
safe lead street.
Special application
Since the customer's lead streets are tree-safe, the customer's electrical system
manager has not seen the need to decide on special routines for this. Any
removal of storm-felled trees on some DC link return lines should be performed
by an ESA expert in view of the special risks associated with these lines.

Special application
With proximity to electrical installation also refers to all maintenance work within the
management street. Depending on the design of the assignment, the distance in question
may also extend beyond the direct pipeline, but this is apparent from the employer's
planning and Risk-P.
Clarification
Everyone who professionally performs non-electrical work (the Purchaser's own employees
or the Supplier's employees) in a station facility (operating room) or within the pipeline
street must be trained in ESA Professional or ESA Instructed Person. Any lay people must be
accompanied by ESA Expert during the work.
Clarification
The customer's maintenance supplier has the task of acting as the electrical installation manager's
representative. The customer's maintenance supplier must, in an internal routine, ensure which persons
have the authority to perform the task as a representative of the electrical installation responsible. The
plant responsible for the system must meet the following requirements:
> have the necessary competence and experience for the assignment.
It is the task of the electrical installation manager's representative to inform the instructed
electrical safety manager on site before starting non-electrical work. Thereafter, it is the
task of the instructed electrical safety manager to pass on information in agreement
to any additional staff.
Special application
