Revision of IEEE Std C57.12.44-2000. The performance, electrical and mechanical interchangeability, and the safety of the equipment are covered. The proper selection of such equipment is established as a basis for use in this standard. Certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics are described; and certain safety features of three-phase, 60 Hz, low-voltage (600 V and below) network protectors are taken into consideration. This equipment is used for automatically connecting and disconnecting a network transformer from a secondary spot or grid network.

This standard describes certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics and takes into consideration certain safety features of three-phase, 60 Hz, low-voltage (600 V and below) network protectors. They are used for automatically connecting and disconnecting a network transformer from a secondary spot or grid network.

This standard is intended for use as a basis for establishing the performance, electrical and mechanical inter-changeability, and safety of the equipment covered and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment.
