Gives test requirements for gas-insulated metal enclosed disconnectors used to switch small capacitive currents that occur when sections of busbars or grading capacitors are energized or de-energized. Applies to alternating current gas insulated metal-enclosed disconnectors for rated voltages of at least 72,5 kV.
