For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordi-nating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or
17、 questions except in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not respond to interpretation requests.

24、Standards documentsUsers of IEEE Standards documents should be aware that these documents may be superseded at any time by the issuance of new editions or may be amended from time to time through the issuance of amendments, corri-genda, or errata. An official IEEE document at any point in time consi

When a document is more than 10 years old and has not undergone a revision process, it is reasonable to conclude that its
26、contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE standard.In order to determine whether a given document is the current edition and whether it has been amended through t

29、uire use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant has filed a statement of assurance via an Accepted Let
30、ter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-SA Website at http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation or under reasonable rates, with
31、 reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrim-ination to applicants desiring to obtain such licenses.Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not re-sponsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for w

42、ar Assemblies.This standard constitutes a compilation of terms and definitions relating to power switchgear assemblies and should be considered to reflect common and current usage of that industry.The size of this standard has been kept to a minimum by omitting all terms satisfactorily covered in re
43、adily available dictionaries. In many instances, terms and definitions of related products exhibiting minor variations have been combined for greater clarity.Specifications and ratings have been excluded from definitions. This information is included in standards cov-ering the specific products.This
44、 standard contains, in addition to many additions and modifications, the relevant terms from IEEE Std C37.100, which is scheduled to be withdrawn when its validity expires in 2018. IEEE Std C37.100-1992 covered the term “electric eels.” After much consideration, the working group felt this term shou
45、ld be at least mentioned (for historical purposes) within the Introduction of this standard.9Copyright 2016 IEEE. All rights reserved.Contents1. Overview . 101.1 Scope 101.2 Purpose . 102.
