Moreover, interrupter switches covered by IEEE. PC37.39 are excluded from the scope of this standard. If an air switch is equipped with a load-break device or interrupter, it may not… read more successfully interrupt currents above the nameplate rating. 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 standard also does not apply to load-break separable insulated connectors, circuit breakers, circuit switchers, or reclosers. read less
The terms and definitions in this standard cover all high-voltage enclosed and non-enclosed, indoor and outdoor air switches rated in excess of 1000 V used primarily in connection with generation, transmission, distribution, and conversion of electric power.

This guide presents suggestions on application, installation, operation, and maintenance as an aid to obtaining satisfactory performance of indoor and outdoor high-voltage air disconnecting and interrupter switches rated in excess of 1000 Vac.It is offered in recognition of the continuing need for general guidelines to supplement, but not replace, the manufacturer's or user's detailed instructions on installation, operation, and maintenance of disconnecting and interrupter switches.
This standard covers indoor ac switches rated above 1 kV through 38 kV for use in metal-enclosed switchgear as follows: a) Stationary or drawout b) Manual or power operation c) Fused or unfused The term ''indoor'' is intended to indicate that the enclosure provides a degree of protection to the switch and the enclosure may be suitable for indoor, outdoor, or other service conditions and complies with the requirements of switchgear assemblies as defined by IEEE Std C37.20.2TM or IEEE Std C37.20.3… read more TM.1 This standard does not apply to switches for use in subsurface or pad-mounted switchgear in IEEE Std C37.74TM or to high-voltage air switches in IEEE Std C37.30TM. Within this standard, the words "switch(es)" shall be considered to mean metal-enclosed, indoor, three-phase, ac medium-voltage switch(es) as defined by this scope. There are switch designs that have short-circuit current interrupting capability, and these devices are covered by this standard only to the extent of meeting the listed testing requirements. However, due to the additional capability, additional testing is required and the manufacturers should be consulted. read less
