IEEE PC37.10

Revision Standard - Active - Draft.
Practices and processes to perform, analyze, and report failure investigations of power circuit breakers are provided

This recommended practice provides practices and processes to perform, analyze, and report failure investigations of AC high voltage circuit breakers and circuit switchers.
The purpose of this recommended practice is
a) To provide recommendations and promote uniform, thorough analysis of circuit breaker and circuit switcher failures
b) To provide recommendations for systematic and uniform data collection so that valuable evidence is not lost or destroyed
c) To provide a consistent methodology by which the most probable cause of any particular circuit breaker or circuit switcher failure may be determined, whether equipment or system issue
d) To encourage cooperative efforts by users and manufacturers during failure analysis
e) To provide recommendations for reporting failures of circuit breakers and circuit switchers
