This document revises the application guide for capacitance current switching for high-voltage circuit breakers rated in accordance with IEEE Std C37.04(TM) 1 and listed in IEEE Std C37.06(TM). It supplements IEEE Std C37.010(TM). Circuit breakers rated and manufactured to meet other standards should be applied in accordance with application procedures adapted to their specific ratings. This guide is intended for general use in the application of circuit breakers for capacitance current switching. Familiarity with other US national standards applying to circuit breakers is assumed, and provisions of those standards are indicated in this guide only when necessary for clarity in describing application requirements. Amendment Standard - Superseded. Covered in this amendment are changes in di/dt limitations for non-oil circuit breakers. A section has been added describing possible delayed current zeros when doing a rapid close—open of a line circuit breaker (CO) when shunt reactors are connected to a line or cable. Some minor errors have been corrected and references have been updated.
