"The scope of this standard is to provide requirements for low-voltage (600 V (ac) and below) definitepurpose switching (DPS) devices (other than power circuit breakers) for use in metal-enclosed@ lowvoltage@ power circuit breaker switchgear described in IEEE Std C37.20.1?-2002.1 These switching devices may be used in motor control or other repetitive duty applications and have the following characteristics: a) Drawout type@ three-pole construction b) Integral current-limiting fuses for short-circuit protection c) Power operated@ with integral or separately mounted overcurrent protective device In this standard@ the term ""DPS device"" denotes a definite-purpose switching device conforming to the requirements of this standard. Purpose This standard provides guidance in evaluating switching devices@ other than low-voltage power circuit breakers conforming to IEEE Std C37.13?@ that are intended to be applied in metal-enclosed@ low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear. 1 For information on references@ see Clause 2."
