It provides guidance on the managing of three-phase electrical switchgear with voltage ratings from 400-33,000 volts alternating current (a.c.). It covers selection, use, care and maintenance. The equipment covered includes switchgear using oil, air, sulphur hexafluoride or vacuum as the interrupting medium.
