IEEE C37.10-1995 IEEE Guide for Diagnostics and Failure Investigation of Power Circuit Breakers

standard by IEEE, 11/30/1995

Full Description

Scope

This guide recommends procedures to be used to perform failure investigations of power circuit breakers. Althoughthe procedure may be used for any circuit breaker, it is mainly focused on high-voltage ac power circuit breakers usedon utility systems.Recommendations are also made for monitoring circuit breaker functions as a means of diagnosing their suitability forservice condition.

Purpose

The purpose of this guide isa) to provide a methodology by which the most probable cause of any particular circuit breaker failure may bedetermined;b) to provide sufficient guidelines and promote uniformity in the analysis of circuit breaker failures;c) to provide guidance for systematic and uniform data collection so that valuable facts are not lost or destroyed;d) to encourage cooperative efforts by users and manufacturers during failure analysis;e) to encourage consistency of nomenclature and compatibility with similar efforts by other organizations suchas CIGRE (International Conference on Large Voltage Electric Systems), EEl (Edison Electric Institute), IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission), NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), andAEIC (Association of Edison Alluminating Companies).

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Procedures to be used to perform failure investigations of power circuit breakers are recommended. Although the procedure may be used for any circuit breaker, it is mainly focused on high-voltage ac power circuit breakers used on utility systems. Recommendations are also made for monitoring circuit breaker functions as a means of diagnosing their suitability for service condition.
