This recommended practice establishes methods by which equipment may be tested for resistance to the effects of arcing due to an internal fault. Equipment types covered in this recommended practice include metal-enclosed switchgear as defined by IEEE Std C37.20.1™, IEEE Std C37.20.2™, IEEE Std C37.20.3™ and IEEE Std C37.20.9™; metal-enclosed bus as defined by IEEE Std C37.23™; medium-voltage ac controllers as defined by UL 347; motor control centers as defined by UL 845; switchboards as defined… read more by UL 891; and metal-enclosed medium-voltage air-insulated circuit breakers for outdoor application defined by IEEE Std C37.04™ (see note).8 This recommended practice applies only to equipment utilizing air or other insulating gas as the primary insulation medium and rated 52 kV ac or below. It applies to both indoor and outdoor equipment; however, special consideration should be given to the building size and construction for indoor applications (not fully addressed by this document). The tests and assessments described in this recommended practice are only applicable to arcing faults occurring entirely in air within the enclosure when doors and covers are properly secured in accordance with the rated accessibility type. This recommended practice does not apply to arcing faults that occur within components of the equipment, such as instrument transformers, sealed interrupting devices, fuses, and so on. Designs that meet the requirements of this recommended practice will be referred to as arc-resistant. NOTE--These circuit breakers are sometimes referred to as dead-tank circuit breakers. read less
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.
The requirements for gas-insulated substations (GIS) for alternating current (ac) applications above 52 kV are contained in this standard. GIS is an assembly of switching and bus components and may contain a number of buses, circuit breakers, switches, instrument transformers, arresters, and primary terminations. This standard includes all the requirements (including switching requirements) of disconnect switches, ground switches, and fault making ground switches included in a GIS. For the… read more other components comprising the GIS, the additional and/or specific GIS requirements are contained in this standard. read less
This standard covers the design, testing, and installation of metal enclosed switchgear that incorporates gas (typically SF6) at higher than ambient pressure as an insulation medium for alternating-current applications above 1 kV to 52 kV. Contents of switchgear may include but are not limited to circuit breakers, switches, bushings, buses, instrument transformers, cable terminations, instrumentation, metering and controls, and protective relays. In a vertical section of the switchgear, some or… read more all of the medium voltage compartment(s) shall be comprised of a gas pressure system for the primary insulating medium.
