IEEE C37.04-2018 PDF
This standard applies to ac high-voltage circuit breakers with rated nominal voltage above 1000 V. It establishes a rating structure, preferred ratings, construction and functional component requirements. This standard encompasses the following: – Three pole circuit breakers used in three-phase systems – Single pole circuit breakers used in single-phase systems – Attachments for these circuit breakers, such as bushings, current transformers, interlocks, shunt trips, etc., and auxiliary equipment sold with the circuit breakers such as closing relays and structural steel supports. This standard does not cover circuit breakers used at frequencies other than 50 Hz or 60 Hz or generator circuit breakers that are covered in IEC/IEEE Std 62271-37-013
Revision Standard – Active. The rating structure for all high-voltage circuit breakers, which include all voltage ratings above 1000 V ac and comprise both indoor and outdoor types, is covered in this standard. Preferred ratings are also provided. Typical circuit breakers covered by these standards have maximum voltage ratings ranging from 4.76 kV through 800 kV, and continuous current ratings of 600 A, 1200 A, 2000 A, 3000 A, and 4000 A associated with the various maximum voltage ratings. The rating structure establishes the basis for all assigned ratings, including continuous current, insulation capability (formerly dielectric withstand voltages), short-circuit current, transient recovery voltage, and capacitor switching, plus associated capabilities such as mechanical endurance, load current, and out-of-phase switching. Generator circuit breakers are covered by IEC/IEEE Std 62271-37-013.
