About This Item
PC37.06.1/D6, Oct 2017 is a technical standard for voltage above 1000 volts AC circuit breakers designated for definite-purpose service with fast transient recovery voltage rise times. It addresses a specialized breaker duty where switching and interruption performance must align with the electrical stresses created by rapid TRV conditions. For engineers and procurement teams, this document helps define a clearer basis for design review, product selection, and compliance assessment in high-voltage power applications.
PC37.06.1/D6, Oct 2017 overview
This standard focuses on the design and performance context of high-voltage AC circuit breakers intended for definite-purpose applications. Its emphasis on fast transient recovery voltage rise times suggests a need to verify breaker capability under demanding interruption conditions, where the recovery voltage after current interruption can rise quickly and affect dielectric performance. PC37.06.1/D6, Oct 2017 is therefore relevant to technical evaluation, equipment specification, and consistency in breaker-related engineering decisions.
Typical use cases
This document is commonly relevant when specifying or reviewing circuit breakers used in utility, industrial power, and high-energy electrical systems operating above 1000 volts AC. It may support equipment selection for applications where definite-purpose switching is expected and transient recovery voltage behavior must be considered during interruption studies. Engineering teams may use it when assessing breaker duties, comparing rated performance, or aligning technical requirements for substations, plant power distribution, and other power-system installations.
Why this standard matters
PC37.06.1/D6, Oct 2017 matters because interruption performance in high-voltage systems depends on more than nominal voltage and current ratings. Fast TRV rise times can place additional stress on insulation and interrupting components, so a defined standard helps reduce ambiguity in design and testing. It can also improve procurement consistency, support safer system integration, and give buyers and engineers a more reliable basis for evaluating breaker suitability for a specific duty.
