This standard has been revised to include a 5000 Ampere frame size in tables 1 through 5 and tables 22A and 228 for low-voltage AC power circuit breakers. In addition, both 1000 voit and 1200 volt ratings for DC breakers in tables 11, 17, and 12 are now included, since both ratings of breakers are now available. ‘The titles of tables 11 and 12 have been clarified to differentiate between “heavy duty” and “ight duty" applications. ‘The 1997 version was revised to reflect industry trends such as deleting the 225 ampere frame size throughout since itis not utilized any longer; adding a 2000 ampere frame size fused circuit breaker (Tables 17 and 19, Line 4) which is now available: incorporating the C37.16a-1994 DC circuit breaker Tables 8, 9, 10, 11, 11 and 12, which correlated with C37.14-1992; and incorporating the electronic trip device ratings. ‘This standard was first published by the American Standards Association (now the American National Standards Institute) in 1956, using material developed by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Reference should be made to the appropriate American National Standards for service conditions, “ON Bury ‘be oun koe} ~pea ued our ag oun —| suede sacar ouioara | — Son ion wong | umurven | _ erepeuver Tina | eneewe:s |‘ eunestueuns, | puaeaia | Beion EE ssunrnows Sunes | Suz01q | ununeew pore Revitenetrenrn (e1-2¢0 333NSNV 995) (Aej1 ajoutos 40 ywouo}o Aejop-eusp-HOYS) swuowiajo din oseyd Bugoe-yo0u1p snoeuEWueFSu nom Sioyeo1q IND1}9 somod Dy @BEVOA-Mo} 0} SBuNe pa1s9}e1d ~ Z 1481 rit by the Nona Ekctical MonuactwetsAssciton pens STD-NEMA C37-2b-ENGL ANSI C37.16-2000, Page 4 2000 MM Lu7024?
