5.0 NEMA/IEC DIFFERENCES
5.1 General
This specification is primarily written for switchgear manufactured in accordance with the American
(ANSI/NEMA) Standards.
If it is necessary or advantageous to purchase High Voltage SF6 Switchgear in accordance with

International (IEC) Standards, the specification can still be utilised but the salient differences occurring
should be noted as detailed below.
5.2 Salient Differences
This section does not attempt to list every difference between American (ANSI/NEMA) standards and
IEC standards, but covers only those salient differences that could affect the final installation if not
properly addressed during the design phase.
5.2.1 Units - SI Units
The ANSI/NEMA Standards in many cases utilise imperial units (horsepower, feet, pounds, degrees
fahrenheit, foot candles, etc), whilst the IEC Standards utilise SI units (metres, grammes, degrees
celsius etc).
Note:
For electrical equipment, the (American) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) have
recommended that the use of the imperial (British-American units in use be reduced as rapidly as
possible in favour of the SI units, with certain implementations such as the use of horsepower being
phased out first.
Where practicable, both systems have been shown in this standard and on the Electrical Data Sheets
since the transition will take some time to fully implement.
5.2.2 Terminal Markings (IEC 60034 Part 8/NEMA G1)
NEMA G1, (1993) part 2, gives terminal major markings with a "T" prefix whereas the IEC code
utilises U, V, W for phases.
The ANSI/NEMA switchgear standards do not specifically state recommended terminal markings and
state only that they should align with the relevant schematic diagrams.
5.2.3 Grounding
Concerned with nature and location of an intentional electrical interconnection between the Electrical
System Conductors and Ground.
In British Practice, the terms `Grounding' and `Ground' are replaced by `Earthing' and `Earth'.
5.2.4 Cable Conductor Cross Sectional Area (CSA)
IEC cable CSAs are always in the metric dimensions (mm²). American conductor sizes are often
American wire gauge (AWG) for the smaller sizes and circular mils (c.mil) for larger sizes.
Rev 0 1999
