IEEE C37.27-2008

This guide applies to low-voltage ac power circuit breakers of the 635 V maximum voltage class with separately-mounted current-limiting fuses for use on ac circuits with available short-circuit currents of 200 000 A (rms symmetrical) or less. Low-voltage ac fused power circuit breakers and combinations of fuses and molded-case circuit breakers are not covered by this guide. This guide sets forth recommendations believed essential for the selection of current-limiting fuses (see NEMA FU-11 and UL 248-1) for use in combination with low-voltage ac power circuit breakers, rated in accordance with IEEE Std C37.13™ and applied in metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear in accordance with ANSI/IEEE Std C37.20.1™. NOTE—The combination of a circuit breaker and separately mounted fuses is limited to 600 V based on use maximum voltage ratings.



Revision Standard - Superseded. Information to assist in selection of current-limiting fuses for use with low-voltage ac power circuit breakers with separately mounted current-limiting fuses is provided.
