本标准适用于额定最大电压高于1000 V的交流高压断路器。本标准定义了对交流高压断路器进行的各种试验，但发电机断路器除外，IEC/IEEE 62271-37-013:2015（前身为IEEE Std C37.013（TM）-1997）涵盖了这些试验。它规定了测试，并描述了用于验证IEEE Std C37中定义的指定额定值的公认方法。04（TM）。4还描述了与生产和现场安装相关的测试程序。试验程序分为以下几类:a）设计试验；b） 生产测试；c） 一致性测试；d） 现场测试。注:设计测试被称为？A型？测试和生产测试被称为？常规？IEC标准中的测试。

This standard applies to ac high-voltage circuit breakers with rated maximum voltage above 1000 V. It defines various tests that are made on ac high-voltage circuit breakers, except for generator circuit breakers, which are covered in IEC/IEEE 62271-37-013:2015 (formerly IEEE Std C37.013(TM)-1997). It specifies the tests and describes the accepted methods used to verify assigned ratings defined in IEEE Std C37.04(TM). It also describes the test procedures associated with production and field installation. The test procedures are divided into the following classifications: a) Design tests; b) Production tests; c) Conformance tests; d) Field tests. NOTE--Design tests are referred to as “Type” tests, and Production tests are referred to as “Routine” tests in IEC standards.
