    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Applies to three-phase alternating current switches and switch-disconnectors designed for internal and external installations for rated voltages between 1 kV and 52 kV and power frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. Applicable also to the operating devices of these switches and to their auxiliary equipment.
