IEEE C37.61:1973 (R1992)

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn.
Information on the selection, application, operation, and maintenance of single-or multi-pole AC automatic circuit reclosers is provided. The principle characteristics of reclosers are identified, and the necessary system information is indicated. Step-by-step procedures for selecting reclosers for specific applications are given.

This application guide provides information on the selection, application, operation, and maintenance of single or multi-pole alternating-current automatic circuit reclosers. The guide is for use in conjunction with American National Standard Requirements for Automatic Circuit Reclosers for AC Systems, C37.60-1968, and Supplement C37.60a-1971. The definitions in American National Standard C37.60-1968 apply to this guide.
This application guide was developed to identify the principle characteristics of reclosers, indicate the system information needed, and give step-by-step procedures used to select reclosers for specific applications.
