About This Item
PC37.06.1/D3, Jul 2016 is a technical standard focused on voltage greater than 1000 volts AC circuit breakers designated for definite-purpose applications with fast transient recovery voltage rise times. It is relevant to power and energy engineering where breaker performance must align with demanding interruption conditions and system behavior. For buyers and specifiers, PC37.06.1/D3, Jul 2016 provides a targeted reference for design, testing, and compliance decisions in higher-voltage switching equipment.
Overview of PC37.06.1/D3, Jul 2016
This standard addresses a specialized class of AC circuit breakers used in definite-purpose service, where the transient recovery voltage can rise quickly after interruption. In practical terms, that means the document is concerned with how the breaker is expected to perform under challenging electrical recovery conditions, rather than general-purpose switching only. PC37.06.1/D3, Jul 2016 is useful when engineering teams need a clear basis for rating, verification, and application of high-voltage breaker designs within power system equipment.
Typical use cases
PC37.06.1/D3, Jul 2016 is typically consulted for high-voltage breaker selection and evaluation in utility or industrial power systems where fast recovery voltage behavior affects interruption performance. It may support equipment design reviews, procurement specifications, laboratory testing plans, and application engineering for circuit breakers used in defined operating duties. The standard is especially relevant when coordinating breaker capabilities with system protection requirements, insulation coordination, and switchgear or substation equipment interfaces.
Why it matters
This standard matters because interruption performance in high-voltage AC circuits depends on more than simple current rating. Fast transient recovery voltage rise times can place stress on breaker contacts, insulation, and associated protection schemes, so a clear technical reference helps reduce misapplication risk. Using PC37.06.1/D3, Jul 2016 can improve consistency between design intent, test expectations, and purchasing criteria, which supports safer operation and more reliable specification of definite-purpose breaker equipment.
