This document describes the methods and requirements for qualifying switchgear assemblies for indoor areas outside of the containment in nuclear power generating stations. These assemblies include the following: a) Metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear assemblies, as defined in IEEE Std C37.20.1™; b) Metal-clad switchgear assemblies, as defined in IEEE Std C37.20.2™; b) Metal-enclosed bus, as defined in IEEE Std C37.23™; c) Metal-enclosed interrupter switchgear assemblies (1 kV to 38 kV), as defined in IEEE Std C37.20.3™
