Title :
New IEEE Temperature Limitations for Disconnecting Switches
Abstract :
The new IEEE air switch temperature limitations define classes of temperature rise and maximum temperatures for various materials used in switch construction. These temperature classifications allow more efficient utilization of switch materials, resulting in benefits to both user and manufacturer. The new temperature limitations have been proposed by IEEE for inclusion in the next revision of USASI Standards C37.30 and C37.34.
