| Standard | Scope | Key Difference | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Industrial circuit-breakers | Adjustable trips, high Ics, selective types. | | IEC 60898-1 | Household breakers (MCBs) | Fixed trips, low Icn, not selective. | | IEC 60947-1 | General rules for all switchgear | Referenced by -2; covers common tests (temperature rise, dielectric). | | IEC 60947-6-2 | Transfer switching equipment | Includes circuit-breakers used as transfer switches. | | UL 489 (USA) | Molded-case circuit-breakers | Different test criteria (e.g., different calibration temperature). |

IEC 60947-2 specifies requirements for low-voltage circuit breakers used in industrial applications, covering devices up to 1,000 V a.c. or 1,500 V d.c.. It defines technical criteria for selectivity categories and outlines rigorous testing procedures for rated current and short-circuit capacity. For a practical, in-depth guide on the standard's application, see the BEAMA guide . IEC-60947-2-2016-AMD1-2019.pdf - iTeh Standards iec 60947-2 pdf
