Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


PC37.21

Standard for Control Switchboards

This standard covers ratings, construction, and testing of dead-front control switchboards containing, but not limited to, devices such as switches, control devices, instrumentation, metering, monitoring, protective and auxiliary relays, and regulating devices and accessories.n n It includes switchboards for the control and protection of apparatus used for or associated with power generation, conversion, transmission, and distribution. n n It does not apply to industrial controls, communication equipment, switchboards for use onboard ships, or Class 1E switchboards for use in nuclear generating stations, nor does it address human factor considerations. n n In this standard, dead-front control switchboards are called control switchboards.

C37.21-2017

IEEE Standard for Control Switchboards

Ratings, construction, and testing of dead-front control switchboards containing, but not limited to, devices such as switches, control devices, instrumentation, metering, monitoring, alarms, annunciators, protective and auxiliary relays, and regulating devices and accessories are covered in this standard. It includes, but is not specifically limited to, switchboards for the control and protection of apparatus used for or associated with power generation, conversion, transmission, and distribution. Types of switchboards may include control, vertical, dead-front, enclosed, dual, or duplex switchboards. Other construction types include control desks, consoles, benchboards, dual or duplex benchboards, fixed rack, cabinet, and swing rack cabinets. It does not apply to industrial controls, communication equipment, switchboards for use on board ships, or Class 1E switchboards for use in nuclear generating stations.
