This standard specifies the basis of rating, preferred ratings, and test procedures for ac circuit switchers, which are designed for outdoor installation and for rated power frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz and rated maximum voltages of 15.5 kV through 245 kV. The standard applies only to three-pole circuit switchers for use in three-phase systems. This standard also applies to the operating devices of circuit switchers and to their auxiliary equipment.

C37.016-2018
IEEE Standard for AC High Voltage Circuit Switchers Rated 15.5 kV through 245 kV
This standard is applicable to ac circuit switchers designed for outdoor installation and for rated power frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz and rated maximum voltages of 15.5 kV through 245 kV. It is applicable only to three-pole circuit switchers for use in three-phase systems. This standard is also applicable to the operating devices of circuit switchers and to their auxiliary equipment. Included in this document are the normal and special service conditions under which the ratings are based and requirements for design and construction, which include those for interrupting media, stored energy systems, operating characteristics, mechanical loading and operation capabilities, electrical insulation, and auxiliary devices. The rating structure establishes the basis for all assigned ratings, including continuous current, dielectric withstand voltages, primary-bus fault breaking current, transformer-limited fault breaking current, short-circuit making current, transient recovery voltages, and capacitor switching, plus associated capabilities such as mechanical endurance and operation under high- and low-temperature environmental extremes. Routine (production) tests are defined and requirements for their execution documented.

IEEE Standard for AC High Voltage Circuit Switchers 15.5 kV through 245 kV - Corrigendum 1
This corrigendum is to improve the current IEEE Std C37.016.
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.
C37.016-2006
IEEE Standard for AC High Voltage Circuit Switchers rated 15.5kV through 245kV
This Standard is applicable to AC circuit switchers designed for outdoor installation and for rated power frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz and rated maximum voltages of 15.5 kV through 245 kV. It is only applicable to three-pole circuit switchers for use in three-phase systems. This Standard is also applicable to the operating devices of circuit switchers and to their auxiliary equipment.
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.
