HV generator breakers
HV generator breakers
(OP)
I am curious to know what standards others use to qualify HV vacuum breakers for generators? I am aware of ANSI C37.013. Is this a common standard to use when specifiying? What other standards seem to be used most? I am sure this increases the cost greatly but what other guidelines/standards should be used to have some assurance of equipment installed?

and newly introduced testing for arc resitant features according to EEMAC G14-1, Type B.
Not to mention NEMA SG-4, CC1, SG-5 etc.
Some appply to breaker itself and some to the switchgear construction.
As I mentioned earlier, the leading manufactures are my sources of this type of information ( I am not in manufacturing business). Besides what is in those literatures, I do not know what exactly those standards requires or how to test the gear to acertain compliance.
RE: HV generator breakers
The EEMAC standard might say something, I need to read through it (free online but have several references to NEMA and other standards). SG-4 and CC1 might help too but could not find SG-5 on NEMA's sight.
I need to call some manufacturers and see what they have to say. Thanks for the posts.
