This recommended practice identifies and summarizes circuit breaker manufacturer's information that knowledgeable users will find useful for the receipt, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning of high-voltage circuit breakers (Over 1000 Volts). This recommended practice recommends categories and an arrangement for the presentation of information in circuit breaker instruction manuals.
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 standard is applicable to bushings intended for use in high-voltage circuit breakers and gas-insulated switchgear. These bushings are intended for indoor and outdoor use, operating on alternating current with a rated voltage greater than 1000 V and a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. These bushings are usually a part of an apparatus and tested according to the apparatus of which they form part. Insulators or bushings used as an element of metal-enclosed switchgear assemblies, or in reclosers, sectionalizers, or similar equipment, are not included in the scope of this document. This standard does not apply to the following: a) High-voltage cable terminations b) Bushings for instrument transformers c) Bushings for test transformers d) Bushings for power transformers e) Bushings for oil-filled circuit breakers f) Oil-filled bushings in general
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 guide describes theoretical and practical ways to evaluate liquid-immersed power transformers, regulators, and reactors capabilities to withstand short-circuit currents resulting from external short-circuit faults. The equipment capabilities will be assessed based on calculations, design characteristics, construction techniques and material properties. The methods described are not mandatory and will not set forth requirements on how the transformer must be designed.
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 covers the following types, preferred ratings, and testing requirements of enclosed dc power circuit breakers: a) Stationary or drawout type of one- or two-pole functional construction b) Having maximum rated voltages of up to 3200 V c) Manually operated or power operated d) With or without overcurrent trip devices NOTE--In this standard, the use of the term "circuit breaker" is considered to mean "enclosed dc power circuit breaker."
This recommended practice provides information for selecting the proper circuit breaker for a particular application. This recommended practice helps the application engineer specify the type of circuit breaker, ratings, trip functions, accessories, acceptance tests, and maintenance requirements. It also discusses circuit breakers for special applications, e.g., instantaneous only and switches. In addition, it provides information for applying circuit breakers at different locations in the… read more power system and for protecting specific components. Guidelines are given for coordinating combinations of line-side and loadside devices. Acceptance testing and maintenance guidelines are provided so that reliable operation can be verified and maintained. This recommended practice does not cover the selection and application of circuit breakers such as marine circuit breakers and definite purpose circuit breakers. read less
