Applies to factory-assembled metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 72.5 kV for indoor and outdoor installations and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. This Standard is equivalent in technical content but not corresponding in full presentation to IEC 298:1990 and Amendment 1:1994.

This standard specifies requirements for factory-assembled metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for alternating current of rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV for indoor and outdoor installation, and for service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.For metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear containing gas-filled compartments, the design pressure is limited to a maximum of 3 bar (gauge). Gas-filled compartments having a design pressure exceeding 3 bar (gauge) shall be designed and tested in accordance with IEC 517.Metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for special use, for example in flammable atmospheres, in mines or on board ships, may be subject to additional requirements.This standard does not deal with components contained in metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for which individual specifications exist.NOTES1 Switchgear and controlgear assemblies having an insulation enclosure are covered by IEC 466.2 Metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 52 kV insulated by air at atmospheric pressure may be covered by this standard taking into account the insulation levels of IEC 694.3 Liquid-insulated hermetically sealed compartments are equal to gas-filled compartments with respect to independence from ambient atmosphere.
