Basic requirements intended to mitigate the effects of the harsh environments encountered by microprocessor-based controls of distribution switchgear rated above 1 kV up to and including 38 kV are covered. Basic requirements include the design, testing and application of microprocessor-based controls. Microprocessor-based controls covered by IEEE Std C37.68™ are intended to be applied in distribution switchgear which is normally mounted on power poles, in wet or dry vaults, or in pad-mounted switchgear enclosures.

No Superseded Standards
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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
