C37.59-1991
IEEE Standard Requirements for Conversion of Power Switchgear Equipment
Superseded by C37.59-1996 . Power switchgear equipment that is converted from the original manufacturer's designs, whether the conversion is performed in manufacturing plants or at installation sites, is covered.
C37.59-2002
IEEE Standard Requirements for Conversion of Power Switchgear Equipment
Directions and requirements are provided for the conversion of qualified power switchgear equipment. Examples such as low-voltage power circuit breakers; high-voltage outdoor and medium-voltage indoor drawout power circuit breakers; low- and medium-voltage fused contactors; low- and medium-voltage ground and test devices; medium-voltage fused load interrupter switches; and all metal-enclosed switchgear are covered. Existing design standards are referenced with appropriate guidance on design testing necessary to design-verify the conversions.
