Description / Abstract:
This standard establishes basic requirements for the control
schemes of electrically controlled ac highvoltage circuit breakers
rated above 1000 V. This standard is applicable to any type of
power-operated mechanism and for both ac and dc control power. Only
the basic control elements of the circuit breaker, including
reclosing where required, are included in this standard. This
standard does not include devices or circuits for protective
relaying, special interlocking, etc., since these are dependent
upon the specific application of a particular circuit breaker.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish basic requirements
for ac high-voltage power circuit breaker control schemes so that
users and manufacturers can affect engineering and production
economies by reducing the multiplicity of special control schemes
that are specified in the absence of standards.
