本标准采用IEC 60214 1:2014，并对澳大利亚和新西兰进行了修改，规定了电阻器和电抗器型有载分接开关、断电分接开关及其电机驱动机构的性能要求和测试方法。 本标准主要适用于根据AS 60296浸入矿物绝缘油中的分接开关，但也可用于具有空气或气体绝缘或浸入其他绝缘液体中的分接头开关，只要条件适用。 本标准主要适用于水龙头- 具有电弧触点的开关，但在适用条件下也可用于无电弧有载分接开关（如电子开关）。 本标准适用于所有类型的电力和配电变压器以及电抗器。 本标准不适用于安装在铁路机车车辆上的变压器和电抗器。

This Standard adopts IEC 60214 1:2014 with modifications for Australia and New Zealand, which specifies performance requirements and test methods for on-load tap-changers of both resistor and reactor types, de-energized tap-changers, and their motor-drive mechanisms. This Standard applies mainly to tap-changers immersed in mineral insulating oil according to AS 60296 but may also be used for tap-changers with air or gas insulation or immersed in other insulating liquids insofar as conditions are applicable. This Standard applies mainly to tap-changers with arcing contacts but may also be used for arcing-free on-load tap-changers (such as electronic switching) insofar as conditions are applicable. This Standard applies to power and distribution transformers of all types and to reactors. This Standard does not apply to transformers and reactors mounted on railway rolling stock.
