The terms and definitions in this standard are intended to encompass the products within the scope of ac (38 kV and below for air-insulated equipment, 52V kV and below for gas-insulated equipment) and dc (3.2 kV and below) power switchgear assemblies for switching, interrupting, metering, protection, and regulating purposes as used primarily in connection with generation, transmission, distribution, and conversion of electric power.
This is a guide describing the surge voltage, surge current, and TOV environment in low-voltage [up to 1000 V root mean square (rms)] ac power circuits. This scope does not include other power disturbances, such as notches, sags, and noise. The surge considered in this guide do not exceed one-half period of the normal mains waveform (fundamental frequency) in duration. They can be periodic or random events and can appear in any combination of line, neutral, or grounding conductors. They include surges with amplitudes, durations, or rates of change sufficient to cause equipment damage or operational upset (see Figure ). While surge protective devices (SPDs) acting primarily on the amplitude of the voltage are often applied to divert the damaging surges, the upsetting surges may require other remedies. The rationale for including a description of TOVs in this guide on the surge environment is given in .
This guide describes methods which may be used to evaluate the condition of stator cores of AC electric machines including generators, motors, and synchronous condensers, and summarizes background information relevant for the informed application of these methods. This guide is not intended to provide detailed inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures. Other IEEE standards and references related to stator core evaluations and repairs are listed in Clause 2, "Normative References". The… read more methods outlined herein are generally applicable to machines rated 1 MVA (1340 HP) and higher. However, these methods may be applicable to units of lower rating. read less
This standard is applicable to ac circuit switchers designed for outdoor installation and for rated power frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz and rated maximum voltages of 15.5 kV through 245 kV. It is applicable only to three-pole circuit switchers for use in three-phase systems. This standard is also applicable to the operating devices of circuit switchers and to their auxiliary equipment. It includes the basis of rating, preferred ratings and test procedures for circuit switchers.
This standard establishes basic requirements for the control schemes of electrically controlled ac high-voltage circuit breakers rated above 1000 V. This standard is applicable to any type of power-operated mechanism and for both ac and dc control power. Only the basic control elements of the circuit breaker, including reclosing where required, are included in this standard. This standard does not include devices or circuits for protective relaying, special interlocking, and so forth, since… read more these are external to and dependent upon the specific application of a particular circuit breaker. read less
This standard covers preferred ratings, construction and testing requirements, and application, loading, installation, operation and maintenance guidelines for all high-voltage enclosed and non-enclosed, indoor and outdoor air switches rated in excess of 1000 V. This includes such switch types as disconnect, horn-gap, fault-initiation, and ground for manual or power operation. The following switch types are not covered by this standard: interrupter switches, distribution cutouts fitted with… read more disconnecting blades, and switches used in metal-enclosed and pad-mounted switchgear.

This guide describes the testing of fault current limiters (FCLs) operating on condition-based impedance increase for AC systems 1000 V and above. This guide does not include constant impedance series reactors and single fuses. (For standards specific to these fault current limiting devices, see IEEE Std C57.16(TM)1,2,3 and IEEE Std C37.46(TM)). NOTE--Testing of FCL load current interrupting capabilities are not addressed in this guide and may be discussed between user and manufacturer.
This guide covers the application of surge voltage protective equipment to AC rotating machines rated 1000 volts and greater. The guide does not cover motors applied in solid-state switched adjustable speed drives. Part 1 covers the insulation surge withstand strength of motors and generators with windings having form-wound multi-turn coils and the application of surge protection to form-wound multi-turn coil motors. Part 2 will cover application of surge protection to generators with form-… read more wound multi-turn coils, plus insulation surge withstand strength and surge protection of single-turn coil generators and motors. read less
Part I of the guide discusses the effects of various aspects of the ac/dc interactions on the design and performance of dc schemes where the ac system appears as a high impedance at the ac/dc interface bus; i.e., low and very low short-circuit (short-circuit ratio [SCR]) conditions. AC systems having zero or inadequate mechanical rotational inertia, such as island schemes with no or with limited local generation, are also considered. Environmental, siting, and construction issues are not addressed. General issues, such as steady-state reactive compensation and ac and dc filter requirements, are not in the scope of this guide, but would be included in a complete study for a particular dc scheme design. In order to assist those not familiar with dc transmission and convertors, a brief description of basic rectifier and inverter operation is given in Annex A of Part I. Part II of this guide, which is bound together with Part I, considers how the ac/dc interaction phenomena described in Part I should be taken into account in the planning and the preliminary design of ac/dc systems having low or very low SCR values.
