DISCONNECTORS
Standard ( Part 3 ) which is identical with IEC Pub 947-3 ( 1990 ) is one in the series of standards on LV switchgear equipment covering requirements for switches and their family of items together with fuse combination units. This standard shall be read in conjunctron with Part 1 of this standard covering general requirements. The text of the IEC Standard has been considered and approved by ET 07, Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear Sectional Committee of BIS, as suitable for publication as Indian Standard, superseding the contents of IS 4064 ( Parts 1 and 2 ). With reference to the definitions contained in 2.5 and 2.6 ,>f this standard, it is stated that the terms Switchfuse and Fuseswitch have been defined in these clauses due ta these terms being in vogue though however no distinction is being made in so far as requirements and tests for compliance are concerned.
