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 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: distribution cutouts fitted with disconnecting blades, and… read more 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
This project will present uniform methods for testing insulation with direct voltages. It applies to AC electric machines. It covers acceptance testing of new equipment in the factory or in the field after erection and routine maintenance testing of machines that have been in service.
This standard covers the test procedures for enclosed low-voltage ac power circuit protectors. NOTE — In this standard, the term "circuit protector" shall be considered to mean "enclosed low-voltage ac power circuit protector," unless qualified by other descriptive terms.
This document revises the application guide for capacitive current switching for high-voltage circuit breakers rated in accordance with IEEE Std C37.04 and tested in accordance with IEEE Std C37.100.2.6 It supplements IEEE Std C37.010. Circuit breakers rated and manufactured to meet other standards should be applied in accordance with application procedures adapted to their specific ratings.
This recommended practice is intended to identify, organize and summarize information about high-voltage circuit breakers provided by the manufacturer that knowledgeable users will find useful for the receipt, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning of ac high-voltage circuit breakers above 1000 V. This recommended practice recommends categories and an arrangement for the presentation of information in circuit breaker instruction manuals.
This is a standard test procedure for the thermal evaluation and qualification of electrical insulation systems (EISs) for random-wound ac electric machinery, where thermal degradation is the dominating aging factor. This procedure compares the relative thermal performance of a candidate EIS to that of a reference EIS. This standard covers insulation systems for such machinery with operating voltage of up to 600 V at 50/60 Hz. This standard provides a statistical method for establishing a… read more relative life-temperature relationship for an insulation system. To have any significance, the reference insulation system must be supported with adequate field-service data. This procedure is intended to evaluate insulation systems for use in air-cooled, random-wound ac electric machinery with "usual service conditions." This procedure, on its own, does not cover insulation systems such as exposure to conducting contaminates, radiation, inverter applications, or operation in oils, refrigerants, or other media that potentially degrade insulating materials. read less
This application guide applies to the ac indoor and outdoor high-voltage circuit breakers rated in accordance with the methods given in IEEE Std C37.04 and IEEE Std C37.04a, listed in IEEE Std C37.06(TM), and tested in accordance with IEEE Std C37.09 and IEEE Std C37.09a.1 Circuit breakers rated and manufactured to meet other standards should be applied in accordance with application procedures adapted to their specific ratings or applications.
This guide is intended to provide a basis for synthetic testing of circuit breakers (see ANSI/IEEEC37.04-1979 [2]) and to establish the criteria for testing to demonstrate the short-circuit current rating of circuit breakers on a single phase basis. It is recognized that other test requirements exist (such as capacitor switching, or line dropping) but they will be reserved for future consideration. The guide contains typical circuits for demonstrating interrupting capability. These circuits are… read more those in general use and their inclusion should not exclude the development of additional circuits to demonstrate specific capabilities. read less
This standard covers the following types and preferred ratings for enclosed low-voltage ac power circuit breakers: a) Stationary or drawout type of two-, three-, or four-pole construction with one or more rated maximum voltages of 1058 V, 730 V, 635 V (600 V for units incorporating fuses), 508 V, or 254 V for application on systems having nominal voltages of 1000 V, 690 V, 600 V, 480 V, or 240 V respectively b) Unfused or fused type c) Manually operated or power operated, with or without a trip… read more system d) Fused drawout assemblies consisting of current-limiting fuses in a drawout assembly intended to be connected in series with a low-voltage ac power circuit breaker to form a nonintegrally fused circuit breaker; In this standard, the term circuit breaker shall mean enclosed low-voltage ac power circuit breaker, either fused or unfused. The term unfused circuit breaker shall mean a circuit breaker without either integrally or nonintegrally mounted fuses, and the term fused circuit breaker shall mean a circuit breaker incorporating current-limiting fuses, whether integrally mounted or nonintegrally mounted. read less
This standard specifies terms and definitions that encompass products within the scope of ac (48.3 kV and below for air-insulated equipment, 52 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.
