Abstract: The testing procedures for allhigh-voltage circuit breakers that include voltage ratingsabove 10o0 V ac and prise both indoor and outdoor types having the preferred ratings as listedmaximum voltage ratings from 4.76 kV through 800 kV and continuous current ratings of 600 Aall assigned ratings including continuous current dielectric withstand voltages short-circuitmechanical endurance load current and out-of-phase switching. Production test procedures arealso included. This standard does not cover generator circuit breakers as these are covered in IEC/IEEE 62271-37-013.

Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are wele from any interested party regardless of membership affliation with IEEE. However IEEE does not provide consulting information or adviceogs sp s s sdproposed change of text together with appropriate supporting ments. Since IEEE standards represent a consensus of concerned interests it is important that any responses to ments and questions also receiveCoordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to ments or questions except in the concurrence of a balance of interests.
