Specifies seismic severity levels and gives a choice of methods that can be applied to demonstrate the performance of HV circuit breakers for which seismic qualification is required. Applies to ground mounted high voltage (HV) circuit breakers. Does not cover the seismic qualification of circuit breakers in metal enclosed switchgear. Coverage includes definitions and severities.
