43、 Breakers Used in Enclosures. This revision of IEEE Std C37.13 incorporates a number of changes since the 2008 edition, but most significantly, it now includes preferred ratings previously in IEEE Std C37.16. ANSI C37.16 had historically been the responsibility of a NEMA working group. In 2003, this
44、 responsibility was transferred to the IEEE Standards Association. The Low Voltage Switchgear Devices subcommittee of the Switchgear Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society is now responsible for the ratings originally in IEEE Std C37.16. The 2009 edition of IEEE Std C37.16 contained preferre
45、d ratings for low voltage ac (635 V and below) and DC (3200 V and below) power circuit breakers. The present revision of IEEE Std C37.13 incorporates the preferred ratings for low voltage ac power circuit breakers from IEEE Std C37.16, so that the requirements for the circuit breakers and their pref
46、erred ratings are now in this edition of IEEE Std C37.13. This parallels changes occurring regarding low voltage dc power circuit breakers. The preferred ratings formerly in IEEE Std C37.16 are being incorporated in a revised edition of IEEE Std C37.14, presently in revision by the LVSD subcommittee
47、 of the Switchgear Committee. With approval of IEEE Std C37.13 and IEEE Std C37.14, IEEE Std C37.16 is to be superseded. Changes incorporated in this revision of IEEE Std C37.13 include the following: a) Incorporation of amendment 1 of IEEE Std C37.13a: 1) Revision to include rated maximum voltages
48、of 1058 V (1000 V nominal voltage) and 730 V (690 V nominal voltage). 2) Establishment of dielectric test voltages for the new maximum voltages, as shown in the following equation: 1000 +2NomDEtVV = where VDEt= dielectric test voltage VNom = nominal voltage group Nominal voltages groups are as follo
49、ws: 600 V (nominal voltage) and below 1000 V (nominal voltage) and below and abxove 600 V (nominal voltage) b) Ratings updated to address preferred ratings associated with rated maximum voltages of 730 Vac and 1058 Vac. c) Ratings for field circuit breakers were removed due to the withdrawal of IEEE Std C37.18 B5. d) All dc circuit breaker information has been removed, as this information will now be contained in IEEE Std C37.14. e) Added or revised definitions for the following terms: 1) anti-pump 2) clearing time Copyright 2015 IEEE.
