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.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
C37.013a-2007
IEEE Standard for AC High Voltage Generator Circuit Breakers Rated on a Symmetrical Current Basis - Amendment 1: Supplement for Use with Generators Rated 10-100 MVA
This amendment includes special requirements better suited for generator circuit breakers used to protect smaller generators rated between 10 MVA and 50 MVA and between 50 MVA and 100 MVA. It is important because the existing standards for typical distribution circuit breakers specifically exclude generator circuit breakers from the scope.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
