IEEE C37.37

Description / Abstract: This loading guide applies to ac high-voltage air switches in excess of 1000 V rated in accordance with IEEE Std C37.30-1992.¹ This standard does not apply to switches used in enclosures covered by IEEE Std C37.20.2-1993, IEEE Std C37.20.3-1996, IEEE Std C37.23-1987, IEEE Std C37.71-1984, and ANSI C37.72-1987. Moreover, interrupter switches covered by IEEEP C37.39 are excluded from the scope of this standard. If an air switch is equipped with a load-break device or interrupter, it may not successfully interrupt currents above the nameplate rating.
