Applies to all switchgear and their assemblies for alternating current of rated voltages of 72,5 kV and above for indoor and outdoor installation, including their supporting structure rigidly connected to the ground. Where switchgear and their assemblies are not ground mounted, e.g. in a building, conditions for application are subject to agreement between users and manufacturers.
