IEEE Standard for the Qualification of Switchgear Assemblies for Class 1E Applications in Nuclear Power Generating Stations

Abstract

The methods and requirements for qualifying switchgear assemblies for indoor areas outside of the containment in nuclear power generating stations are described in this document. These assemblies include: metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear assemblies, as defi ned in IEEE Std C37.20.1(TM); metal-clad switchgear assemblies, as defi ned in IEEE Std C37.20.2(TM); metal-enclosed bus, as defi ned in IEEE Std C37.23(TM); and metal-enclosed interrupter switchgear assemblies, as defi ned in IEEE Std C37.20.3(TM).
