This standard pertains to the requirements for direct-acting current and voltage protective functions of the following that are integral with low-voltage ac and dc power circuit breakers covered by IEEE Std C37.13 and IEEE Std C37.14: a) Direct-acting overcurrent electromechanical trip devices b) Direct-acting overcurrent electronic trip systems c) Reverse-current trip systems for dc circuit breakers d) Undervoltage trip devices This standard describes the requirements for available settings… read more and time delay characteristics for preferred protective functions as well as their operational and calibration requirements. The functional requirements for the overall circuit breaker, including test requirements (whether design, production, or conformance) are specified in the latest versions of IEEE Std C37.13, IEEE Std C37.14, and ANSI C37.50. This standard does not restrict the inclusion of additional internal or external functionality in the trip system or device. read less
This guide applies to unfused low-voltage ac power circuit breakers of the 635 V maximum voltage class with separately-mounted current-limiting fuses for use on ac circuits with available short-circuit currents of 200 000 A (rms symmetrical) or less. Low-voltage ac fused power circuit breakers and combinations of fuses and molded-case circuit breakers are not covered by this guide. In this guide, the term circuit breaker means unfused low-voltage ac power circuit breaker.

This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to three-phase AC high-voltage generator circuit-breakers, hereafter called generator circuit-breakers, designed for indoor or outdoor installation and for operation at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on systems having voltages above 1 kV and up to 38 kV. It is applicable to generator circuit-breakers that are installed between the generator and the transformer terminals. Requirements relative to generator circuit-breakers intended for use with generators and… read more transformers rated 10 MVA or more are covered specifically. Generator circuits rated less than 10 MVA and pumped-storage installations are considered special applications, and their requirements are not completely covered by this document. This document is also applicable to the operating mechanisms of generator circuit-breakers and to their auxiliary equipment. read less
This part of International Standard 62271 provides methods for the measurement of sound pressure level produced by outdoor alternating current circuit-breakers in a free-field environment. These methods may also be used indoors or in restricted field, provided that precautions are observed in the measurement and interpretation of the results.

This standard provides requirements for low-voltage (600 V ac and below) definite-purpose switching (LVDPS) devices (other than power circuit breakers) for use in metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear described in IEEE Std C37.20.1(TM). These switching devices may be used in motor control or other repetitive duty applications and have the following characteristics: a) Drawout type, three-pole construction; b) Integral current-limiting fuses for short-circuit protection; c)… read more Power operated, with integral or separately mounted overcurrent protective devices; In this standard, the term "LV-DPS device" denotes a low-voltage definite-purpose switching device conforming to the requirements of this standard. read less
This amendment implements corrections and adds new information essential to properly test AC high-voltage circuit breakers as well as further harmonize this document with other industry standards. Considered modifications are regarding the TRV values and their harmonization with IEC 62271-100 and IEEE C37.016, introduction of alternative testing procedures for T100s or introduction of an integrity check for vacuum circuit breakers.
This standard provides the preferred ratings for low-voltage ac (635 V and below) power circuit breakers,fused low-voltage ac (600 V and below) power circuit breakers, general purpose dc (325 V and below) power circuit breakers, and low-voltage dc (3200 V and below) power circuit breakers.
