This standard establishes specifications for high voltage (above 1000 volts) expulsion type distribution class fuses, fuse cutouts, fuse disconnecting switches, their associated fuse links and disconnecting cutouts, and accessories for these devices. All of these devices are intended for use on alternating current distribution systems. These specifications apply to the following specific types of equipment: a) Open and enclosed types of fuses and fuse cutouts b) Open and enclosed fuse disconnecting switches c) Fuse links of the type used exclusively with distribution class fuses, fuse cutouts, and fuse disconnecting switches. d) Open-link types of fuses, cutouts, and their associated fuse links e) Open and enclosed types of disconnecting cutouts f) Fuse supports, fuse mountings and fuse hooks of the type used exclusively with distribution class fuses, fuse cutouts, fuse disconnecting switches, and disconnecting cutouts. g) Fuse holders and removable switch blades of the type used exclusively with distribution class fuse supports. h) Mounting brackets used for distribution class equipment and other accessories.

C37.42-2016
IEEE Standard Specifications for High-Voltage (>1000 V) Fuses and Accessories
Specifications for high voltage (above 1000 volts) Class A and Class B expulsion and current-limiting fuses. This includes: a) Expulsion type Class A [distribution class] fuses, fuse cutouts, fuse disconnecting switches, their associated fuse links or refill units, disconnecting cutouts, and accessories for these devices with rated voltages from 1 through 38 kV. b) Expulsion type Class B [power class] fuses, fuse disconnecting switches, their associated fuse links or refill units, disconnecting cutouts, and accessories for these devices with rated voltages from 1 through 170 kV. c) Class A and Class B current-limiting fuses and accessories for these devices with rated voltages 1 through 38 kV. d) Distribution and power class expulsion, current-limiting, and combination-type external capacitor fuses and accessories, with rated voltages from 1 kV through 38 kV, for protecting shunt capacitors complying with IEEE Std 18 and NEMA CP 1. e) Any of the above devices used in fuse enclosure packages. f) All of these devices are intended for use on alternating current distribution systems. This standard also supersedes IEEE C37.43-2008, IEEE C37.46-2010 and IEEE C37.47-2011.
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.
C37.40-1981
American National Standard Service Conditions and Definitions for High-Voltage Fuses, Distribution Enclosed Single-Pole Air Switches, Fuse Disconnecting Switches, and Accessories
Service conditions and definitions for high-voltage fuses (above 1,000 V), distribution enclosed single-pole air switches, fuse disconnecting switches, and accessories for ac distribution systems are covered. These include enclosed, open, and open-link types of distribution cutouts and fuses; distribution current-limiting fuses; distribution oil cutouts; distribution enclosed single-pole air switches; power fuses, including current-limiting types; outdoor and indoor fuse disconnecting switches; fuse supports, mountings, hooks, and links, all of the type used exclusively with the above; and removable switch blades for certain products among the above.
C37.40-1993
IEEE Standard Service Conditions and Definitions for High Voltage Fuses, Distribution Enclosed Single-Pole Air Switches, Fuse Disconnecting Switches & Accessories
Service conditions and definitions for high-voltage fuses (above 1000 V), distribution enclosed single-pole air switches, fuse disconnecting switches, and accessories for ac distribution systems are covered. These include enclosed, open, and open-link types of distribution cutouts and fuses; distribution current-limiting fuses; distribution oil cutouts; distribution enclosed single-pole air switches; power fuses, including current-limiting types; outdoor and indoor fuse disconnecting switches; fuse supports, mountings, hooks, and links, all of the type used exclusively with the above; and removable switch blades for certain products among the above.
C37.48-1987
IEEE Guide for Application, Operation, and Maintenance of High-Voltage Fuses, Distribution Enclosed Single-Pole Air Switches, Fuse Disconnecting Switches, and Accessories
Superseded. Information on the application, operation, and maintenance of high-voltage fuses (above 1000 V), distribution enclosed single-pole air switches, fuse disconnecting switches, and accessories for use on AC distribution systems is provided. This guide is one of a series of complementary standards covering various types of high-voltage fuses and switches, so arranged that two of the standards apply to all devices while each of the other standards provides additional specifications for a particular device. For each device, IEEE Std C37.40-1993, IEEE Std C37.41-1994, plus the standard covering that device, constitute a complete set of standards for each device. In addition, IEEE Std C37.48-1997 is an application, operation, and maintenance guide for all the devices.

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.
C37.53.1-1989
American National Standard High-Voltage Current-Limiting Motor-Starter Fuses -- Conference Test Procedures
These tests shall be used to demonstrate that the motor-starter fuses being tested conform with the specified ratings and characteristics. The standard is designed to cover a product that can be used with Class E2 controllers (fused) as described in Table 27.1 and elsewhere in the American National Standard Safety Standard for High Voltage Industrial Control Equipment, ANSI/UL 347-1985.
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
