This guide is intended for use in establishing a methodology to evaluate expected long-term performance of infrequently operated switch contacts used within insulating liquid-immersed transformers. These switch contacts are typically found in de-energized tapchangers, dual voltage switches, reversing switches, on-load tapchangers, and step-voltage regulators, but the test might possibly be used to evaluate any contact that is used in insulating liquids with similar operating characteristics and within similar environments.

Guide for Conducting Functional Life Tests on Switch Contacts Used in Insulating Liquid--Immersed Transformers
This guide establishes a methodology to evaluate expected long-term performance of infrequently operated switch contacts used within insulating liquid-immersed transformers. These switch contacts are typically found in de-energized tapchangers, dual voltage switches, reversing switches, on-load tapchangers, and step-voltage regulators, but the test might possibly be used to evaluate any contact that is used in insulating liquids with similar operating characteristics and within similar environments.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
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.
No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
