About This Item
IEEE PC37.100.5/D2, Feb 2016 is a draft technical document for defining high voltage circuit breakers above 1000 Vac and 3200 Vdc, along with reclosers and other distribution equipment from 1000 Vac to 38,000 Vac. It is aimed at power and energy engineering applications where clear terminology and scope are important for design, specification, and evaluation. By setting definitions around these equipment classes, IEEE PC37.100.5/D2, Feb 2016 helps support consistent understanding across manufacturers, utilities, and technical teams.
IEEE PC37.100.5/D2, Feb 2016 overview
This draft IEEE standard focuses on terminology and technical definitions rather than installation guidance or operating procedures. Its purpose is to describe what qualifies as a high voltage circuit breaker, recloser, or related distribution device within the stated voltage ranges. In a standards library, IEEE PC37.100.5/D2, Feb 2016 is useful when a project needs precise language for equipment classification, procurement references, or engineering documentation tied to medium and high voltage power systems.
Typical use cases
This draft is most relevant when engineers, utilities, and equipment suppliers need a common basis for identifying switching and protection devices used in distribution networks. It may support specification work for circuit breakers, reclosers, and similar components in substations, feeder lines, and other power system applications. IEEE PC37.100.5/D2, Feb 2016 can also help during document review, bid preparation, and internal standards alignment where voltage ranges and device categories must be stated consistently.
Why this standard matters
Definitions matter because they reduce ambiguity in engineering, purchasing, and compliance-related workflows. For equipment in the stated voltage ranges, a shared technical vocabulary helps prevent mismatches between design intent and supplied products. IEEE PC37.100.5/D2, Feb 2016 supports clearer requirements writing, more accurate testing references, and better comparison of equipment offerings. That consistency can lower risk during project execution, especially where power system reliability and safety depend on correct equipment identification.
