Ratings, performance requirements, and compliance test methods are provided for ac high-voltage generator circuit breakers rated on a symmetrical current basis that are installed between the generator and the transformer terminals. Guidance for applying generator circuit breakers is given. Pumped storage installations are considered a special application, and their requirements are not completely covered by this standard.

P62271-37-013-2021/Cor 1
IEEE/IEC Draft International Standard for High-voltage Switchgear and Controlgear--Part 37-013: Alternating current generator circuit-breakers - Corrigendum 1
This part of IEC 62271 is applicable to three-phase AC high-voltage generator circuit breakers, hereafter called generator circuit-breakers, designed for indoor or outdoor installation and for operation at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz on systems having voltages above 1 kV and up to 38 kV. It is applicable to generator circuit-breakers that are installed between the generator and the transformer terminals. Requirements relative to generator circuit-breakers intended for use with generators and transformers rated 10 MVA or more are covered specifically. Generator circuits rated less than 10 MVA and pumped-storage installations are considered special applications, and their requirements are not completely covered by this document. This document is also applicable to the operating mechanisms of generator circuit-breakers and to their auxiliary equipment.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
