12、NAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, subst

Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. T

20、2.9-2014 ii 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Foreword (This foreword is not part of American National Standard C12.9-2014.) This standard is a major revision of ANSI C12.9-2005, American National Standard for Test Switches for Transformer-Rated Meters. It was developed by the Accre
21、dited Standards Committee on Electricity Metering, C12, for full consensus approval as an American National Standard. This revised version supersedes ANSI C12.9-2005. This standard covers the dimensions and functions of meter test switches for transformer-rated watthour meters when used in conjuncti
22、on with instrument transformers. It also adds specifications for test jacks used in conjunction with the test switches. These additions ensure that test jacks used in conjunction with switches meeting this standard will operate properly and safely. Suggestions for improvements of this standard are w
23、elcome. They should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to: ANSI Committee C12 Secretary National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street Rosslyn, Vi

25、the side of the contact jaw. f) The following sequence of tests shall be performed: 1) Apply rated current until temperatures become constant (see item b). No temperature shall exceed 30C above ambient. 2) After temperatures have become constant, apply 150% of rated current. Operate each switch for
26、18 cycles at a rate of six cycles per min. The enclosure or cover described in item c may be either left open or removed for this test. 3) Reduce the current to zero and allow the test switch to cool for 2 hr or until it reaches ambient temperature. 4) Repeat step 1.

(2) If a positive stop is provided on the probe blade to limit insertion depth of the probe to M by bottoming out against S of the switch, then L may exceed Lmax provided M Dmin Smax = 0.030”. Dimension M is understood to be the distance at which further insertion
31、 into the test switch is guaranteed to be limited by a positive stop against S.
