Description / Abstract:
This standard applies to ac high-voltage circuit breakers with rated maximum voltage above 1000 V. It defines various tests that are made on ac high-voltage circuit breakers, except for generator circuit breakers, which are covered in IEEE Std 62271-37-013 (formerly C37.013). It specifies the tests and describes the accepted methods used to verify assigned ratings defined in C37.04. It also describes test procedures associated with production and field installation.
The test procedures are divided into the following classifications:
a) Design tests
b) Production tests
c) Conformance tests
d) Field tests
NOTE— Design tests are referred to as Type tests and Production tests are referred to as Routine tests in IEC standards.1
