The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements for prefabricated metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for the following: (a) Alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installation. (b) Service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.
This standard defines several categories of metal enclosed switchgear and controlgear which differ due to
– the consequences on network service continuity in case of maintenance on the switchgear and controlgear;
– the need and convenience of maintenance of the equipment.
Metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for special use, for example, in flammable atmospheres, in mines or on board ships, may be subject to additional requirements.
Components contained in metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear are to be designed and tested in accordance with their various relevant standards. This standard supplements the standards for the individual components regarding their installation in switchgear and controlgear assemblies.
This standard does not preclude that other equipment may be included in the same enclosure. In such a case, any possible influence of that equipment on the switchgear and controlgear is to be taken into account.
