The following enclosed low-voltage ac power circuit breakers are covered in this standard: a) stationary or drawout type of two-, three-, or four-pole construction, with one or more rated maximum voltages of 1058 V, 730 V, 635 V (600 V for units incorporating fuses), 508 V, or 254 V for application on systems having nominal voltages of 1000 V, 690 V, 600 V, 480 V, or 240 V; b) unfused or fused circuit breakers; c) manually or power operated; and d) with or without electromechanical or electronic trip devices. Service conditions, ratings, functional components, temperature limitations and classifications of insulating materials, insulation (dielectric) withstand voltage requirements, test procedures, application, and the preferred ratings are discussed in this standard.

C37.13-2024
IEEE Draft Standard for Low-Voltage AC (1058 V and Below) Power Circuit Breakers Used in Enclosures
The following enclosed low-voltage ac power circuit breakers are covered in this standard: a) stationary or drawout type of two-, three-, or four-pole construction, with one or more rated maximum voltages of 1058 V, 730 V, 635 V (600 V for units incorporating fuses), 508 V, or 254 V for application on systems having nominal voltages of 1000 V, 690 V, 600 V, 480 V, or 240 V; b) unfused or fused circuit breakers; c) manually or power operated; and d) with or without electromechanical or electronic trip devices. Service conditions, ratings, functional components, temperature limitations and classifications of insulating materials, insulation (dielectric) withstand voltage requirements, test procedures, application, and the preferred ratings are discussed in this standard.
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.
C37.13-1990
IEEE Standard for Low-Voltage AC Power Circuit Breakers Used in Enclosures
This standard covers enclosed low-voltage AC power circuit breakers of the stationary or draw-out type of two- or three-pole construction, with one or more rated maximum voltages of 635 V (600 V for units incorporating fuses), 508 V, and 254 V for application on systems having nominal voltages of 600 V, 480 V, and 240 V; with unfused or fused circuit breakers; manually or power operated; and with or without electromechanical or solid-state trip devices. It deals with service conditions, ratings, functional components, temperature limitations and classifications of insulating materials, insulation (dielectric) withstand voltage requirements, test procedures, and application.

C37.13a-2012
IEEE Standard for Low-Voltage AC Power Circuit Breakers Used in Enclosures Amendment 1: Increase of Voltages to 1000 V AC and Below
Amendment to IEEE Std C37.13-2008. The addition of the maximum voltages of 1058 V, 730 V and nominal voltages of 1000 V, 690 V are addressed in this amendment. Updates are made with respect to the dielectric test voltages.
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.
