Revision Standard - Active - Draft.
Direction is provided for the selection of monitoring and for diagnostic parameters to be used with high-voltage circuit breakers (i.e., above 1000 V). Guidance on appropriate parameters to be considered for monitoring applied to various circuit breaker technologies is also provided

This guide provides direction for the selection of monitoring and for diagnostic parameters to be used with high-voltage circuit breakers (i.e., above 1000 V ac). It provides guidance on appropriate parameters to be considered for monitoring applied to various circuit breaker technologies. This guide leads users through an analysis of circuit breaker performance and application expectations. The analysis includes a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) of the circuit breaker and associated components, an analysis of the risks associated with failure of the specific application, and a discussion of the items to be considered in a cost-benefit study to justify application of monitoring in its many forms.
This guide provides advice on what parameters can be monitored to derive information about the condition of a circuit breaker. Circuits associated with the operation of the circuit breaker, which might include auxiliary contacts, X and Y relays, lockout switches, and so on, are included in this guide. External control circuits are not included in the scope of this guide. This guide is not intended to provide guidance on the monitoring of protection and control circuits, although they can have a significant effect on the overall circuit breaker functions.
