5、or otherwise, without theiiIEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the IEEE Societies and the StandardsCoordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and withoutcompensation. They are not necessarily members of the I
6、nstitute. The standards developed within IEEE represent aconsensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE whichhave expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard.Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. T
7、he existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no otherways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEEStandard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to chan
8、gebrought about through developments in the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. EveryIEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is morethan five years old, and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable
9、to conclude that its contents, although still of somevalue, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have thelatest edition of any IEEE Standard.Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
10、 membership affiliationwith IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together withappropriate supporting comments.Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate tospecific applicati
11、ons. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiateaction to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned interests, it isimportant to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of
12、 a balance of interests. For this reasonIEEE and the members of its technical committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requestsexcept in those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.Comments on standards and requests for interpretations sh

15、n of terms and definitions relating to power switchgear and should beconsidered to reflect common and current usage of that industry. It is an update of the 1981 revision with additions andchanges.The 1981 revision of this standard incorporated the definitions formerly contained in IEEE C37.90-1978,
16、 IEEEStandard for Relays and Relay Systems Associated with Electric Power Apparatus (ANSI). The agreement to movethese definitions from IEEE C37.90-1978 to IEEE C37.100-1981 was based on identifying the definitions for primeresponsibility. Accordingly, the code shown was adopted and is used in the c
17、urrent edition as well. Each of the eightparticipating entities of the Power System Relaying, Substations, and Switchgear Committees of the TechnicalOperations Department of the IEEE Power Engineering Society identified definitions in which they had basicresponsibility. This is shown immediately fol
18、lowing the definition. The code indicates interest and consent required forany changes.The size of this standard has been kept to a minimum by omitting all terms satisfactorily covered in readily availabledictionaries. In many instances, terms and definitions of related products exhibiting minor var
19、iations have beencombined for greater clarity.International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) definitions have been adopted wherever possible, without change, orwith minor modifications.Specifications and ratings have been excluded from definitions where possible. This information is included instan

ScopeThe terms and definitions in the standard are intended to encompass the products within the scope of the C37
30、projectthat include power switchgear for switching, interrupting, metering, protection, and regulating purposes as usedprimarily in connection with generation, transmission, distribution, and conversion of electric power.The definitions of terms and explanatory notes relating thereto contained in th
31、is standard are not intended to embraceall possible meanings of the terms. They are intended for the sole purpose of establishing only those meanings of termsused in switchgear standards. They do not purport to embrace other meanings that the terms may properly have whenused in connection with other
32、 subjects.In some instances, terms and definitions that are not identical to those in this standard have been developed by otherbranches of industry. Where this situation exists, the definitions in this standard shall be used for power switchgearwithin the C37 product scope.2. GeneralIn this standar
33、d, preferred terms are in some instances followed by less favored or alternate terms in parentheses. Also,since the terms are arranged alphabetically, application phrases have been parenthetically appended to many terms.For definitions of terms of related component parts, accessories, etc., not cove
34、red in this standard, reference should bemade to standards covering those products; for example, IEEE C57.13-1978, and IEEE Std 21-1976.3.
