This guide describes methodologies for establishing the expected life of lubricants as used in switchgear equipment. The types of switchgear equipment include the following: - Automatic reclosers and sectionalizers - Current limiting devices - Fuses and cutouts - Gas-insulated switchgear - Metal-enclosed buses and all buses included in switchgear assemblies - Power circuit breakers - Switches, including pad-mounted switches - Switchgear assemblies - Switchgear devices Lubricants used as a surface protectant, for applications other than reducing friction or wear, are not included.
