O.FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 28 June 1982, after the draft finalized by the High Voltage
Switchgear and Controlgear Sectional Committee had been approved b\
the Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.2 With the large scale manufacture of air-break isolators in the country,
the need for specifying uniform requirements for such equipment was felt,
particularly in view of different practices being followed by the manufacturers because of their tie-ups with different overseas manufacturers.. This
standard was therefore, originally prepared as IS : 1818 in 1961 to meet this
need and to provide guidance to the new manufacturers in this fieId.
0.3 The first revision of IS : 1818 was brought out in 1973. mninl~ for
the purposes of taking into account the developments at the internationnl
level and expanding the scope to cover ratings up to 420 kV. The revision,
in comparison to the original version, also covered oil-break type isolators
and earthing switches; the latter is considered similar in operation to the
former. In making the revision however, it was recognized that when both
the isolators and earthing switches are combined in one unit, an interlock
is needed to be provided to ensure proper operation and safety.
0.4 The last few years in the history of development of high voltage
switchgear had seen considerable advancement in knowhow on the performance of the equipment and the associated stipulations that are to be
precisely made in the national standards. Considerable modifications
therefore, became necessary in the specifications on circuit-breakers,
switches, fuses, etc, in order to keep pace with the international thinking on
the subject.
0.5 The present version of the standard on this subject is therefore, being
brought out to incorporate the latest in technology ps is also recognized in

COMPARISON WITH CORRESPONDING IEC PUBLICATION
A-O. This Indian Standard corresponds appreciably with the IEC Publioation referred to in 0.6 except for the deviations listed below:
Clause 3.Z- only those rated values which are applicable to the
Indian conditions have been retained in this standard. This has necessitated consequential changes in the text and accordingly Tables 1, 2, 3, 5, 6,
1I and 12 have been drafted. For the purposes of guidance on other
internationally accepted rated values, reference shall be made to IEC
Publication mentioned in 0.6.
Clause 3.3 - The rated frequency of disconnector ( isolator ) or
earthing switches, for the purposes of this standard is defined as 50 Hz.
For guidance on equipment meant for 60 Hz, reference shall be made to
the IEC Publication mentioned in 0.6.
