About This Item
IEEE C37.100b-1986 is a technical standard of definitions for TRV terms, helping engineers use consistent language when discussing transient recovery voltage in power-system applications. As part of the IEEE C37.100 family, it supports clear communication in areas where switching performance, interruption behavior, and related ratings matter. In power, energy, and industry applications, precise terminology can reduce misunderstanding in specification, testing, and design review.
What is IEEE C37.100b-1986?
IEEE C37.100b-1986 defines terminology for transient recovery voltage, or TRV, within the context of electrical power equipment and switching duty. Its role is to standardize how TRV-related terms are interpreted so that manufacturers, utilities, and engineers can work from the same technical vocabulary. This helps support consistent discussion of circuit interruption, rating considerations, and test conditions. The document is primarily a definitions standard, not a performance specification.
Where is IEEE C37.100b-1986 used?
IEEE C37.100b-1986 is commonly used in the planning, specification, and evaluation of switchgear, circuit breakers, and other interruption equipment where transient recovery voltage is a relevant design or test topic. It is useful in utility and industrial power systems, especially when comparing ratings or reviewing interruption performance. The standard may also support technical documentation and procurement work where precise TRV terminology is needed to avoid ambiguity between teams, suppliers, and testing groups.
Why is IEEE C37.100b-1986 important?
This standard matters because TRV terminology can affect how interruption capability, testing, and compliance requirements are understood. Using IEEE C37.100b-1986 helps reduce misinterpretation during engineering review, product selection, and specification writing. It can improve consistency across documents and organizations, which is especially important when equipment performance must be assessed against defined terms. Clear definitions also support safer and more reliable decisions in power-system applications.
