IEEE Launches Eight New Recommended Practice Standards For Industrial And Commercial Power Systems
Piscataway, NJ - The IEEE has approved work to begin on eight new standards projects to develop new recommended practices for engineers working on industrial and commercial power systems. They join nearly 20 other standards currently in development as part of a project which will eventually encompass as many as 60 new standards.
These recommended practices will provide in-depth coverage of topics in the following areas: power system design, power system analysis, power system grounding, protection and coordination of power systems, emergency and standby power systems, power system reliability, and the maintenance, operation and safety of power systems.
"These new recommended practices are part of a major effort to reorganize and what is currently known as the IEEE Color Book Series," says Carey J. Cook, sponsor chair for the standards development projects. "The Color Books cover the vital aspects of industrial and commercial power system engineering, but the thirteen books often contain duplicate information and historically take too much time to revise. This project will provide facilities engineers with targeted, up-to-date information, allowing them to do their jobs more easily."
The newly launched standards projects include:
- IEEE P3000™, "Recommended Practice for the Engineering of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems," covering the fundamentals of the planning, design, analysis, construction, installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of electrical systems in industrial and commercial facilities.
- IEEE P3001.1™, "Recommended Practice for the Planning of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
- IEEE P3001.5™, "Recommended Practice for Application of Power Distribution Apparatus in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
- IEEE P3001.11™, "Recommended Practice for Application of Controllers and Automation to Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
- IEEE P3002.2™, "Recommended Practice for Conducting Load-Flow Studies of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
- IEEE P3002.3™, "Recommended Practice for Conducting Short-Circuit Studies of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
- IEEE P3004.3™, "Recommended Practice for the Application of Low-Voltage Fuses in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
- and IEEE P3004.5™, "Recommended Practice for the Application of Low-Voltage Circuit Breakers in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems."
They join another 20 standards already in development.
The projects are all sponsored by the IEEE Industry Applications Society.
