This standard is intended to be a consolidatio
3、n of the following standards: IEEE Std C37.30-1997, ANSI C37.32-2002, IEEE Std C37.34-1994, IEEE Std C37.35-1995, IEEE Std C37.36b-1990, and IEEE Std C37.37-1996. This standard incorporates relevant material from earlier standards and replaces IEEE Std C37.30, ANSI C37.32, IEEE Std C37.34, IEEE Std
4、C37.35, IEEE Std C37.36b, and IEEE Std C37.37. In addition, the Consolidation of C37.3x Series Working Group has strived to make minimal technical changes to the text from these standards. This consolidation effort is the first phase of a two-part process to facilitate harmonization of the IEEE C37.
5、30 series of standards with existing International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) documents covering switch devices. The second phase of the process will be to incorporate technical changes where needed and to harmonize with IEC standards. This comprehensive document is the consummation of effort
6、s of the Consolidation of C37.3x Series Working Group of the High Voltage Switches Subcommittee of the IEEE Switchgear Committee. Notice to users Laws and regulations Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the provisions of any IEEE Stan
7、dards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication of its standards, intend to urge action that is not in compliance w
8、ith applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed as doing so. Copyrights This document is copyrighted by the IEEE.

13、/index.html. Users are encouraged to check this URL for errata periodically. Patents Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect
14、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 Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-SA website http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Lette
15、rs of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination to applicants desiring to obtain such licenses
16、. Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of Patents Claims, or determining whether any
17、licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or nondiscriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringemen
18、t of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association.

Overview 1.1 Scope This standard covers preferred ratings; construction and testing requirements; and application, loading, installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines for all high-voltage enclosed and nonenclosed, indoor and outdoor a
43、ir switches rated in excess of 1000 V. This includes such switch types as disconnect, horn-gap, fault-initiation, and ground for manual or power operation. The following switch types are not covered by this standard: interrupter switches, distribution cutouts fitted with disconnecting blades, and sw
44、itches used in metal-enclosed and pad-mounted switchgear. This standard also does not apply to load-break separable insulated connectors, circuit breakers, circuit switchers, or reclosers. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to provide a basic standard for air switches.
