Description / Abstract:
This standard covers metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit
breaker switchgear assemblies containing, but not limited to, such
devices as low-voltage power circuit breakers (fused or unfused);
other interrupting devices; switches, control, instrumentation, and
metering; and protective and regulating equipment.
This standard is concerned with enclosed, rather than open,
indoor and outdoor switchgear assemblies. It includes types of
equipment that are part of secondary unit substations. It does not
apply to equipment covered by industrial control standards,
communication switchboards, communication switching equipment,
switchboards for use on board ships, or dead-front distribution
switchboards.
In this standard, metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit
breaker switchgear shall be called LV switchgear. For LV ac
switchgear, the nominal system voltage shall be 1000 Vac or below;
for LV dc switchgear, the rated maximum voltage shall be 3200 Vdc
or below.
