This standard provides direction for the design and installation of safety-related electrical cable systems, including associated circuits, in nuclear power generating stations. Also provided is guidance for the design, installation and performance requirements of those non-safety related cable systems that may affect the function of safety related systems. It provides guidance on applications of cable-penetration, fire stops, cable fire breaks, and cable-system enclosures for cable systems for Class 1E circuits.
This standard defines terminology and indices for reporting and analyzing outage occurrences of transmission facilities. Outage definitions and indices are given for two general types of facilities: units and components. Units are functional facilities that transfer power between designated points, while components are specific pieces of equipment. Outage definitions are given both for describing the outage history of a particular facility and for describing groups of individual outage occurrences that are related in some way.
The reader of this guide will find discussions of ways to identify and improve power quality in power systems, as well as references to publications in this area. More specifically, this guide includes the following: a) Power quality levels from benchmarking studies b) Factors that affect power system performance c) Mitigation measures that improve power system performance d) References to current relevant in-depth IEEE standards and other documents This guide only addresses subjects in depth… read more where no other power quality reference does so. It is a "gateway" document for power quality that points the way to other documents in this field. read less
This standard provides requirements for a fall protection program for transmission and distribution structures and equipment. The requirements covered under this standard are based on sound engineering principles, engineering safety considerations, and research into the tools, methods, practices, and training provided to and by electric power workers. It does not include work in vaults, manholes, or other confined spaces. Requirements regarding stairways and scaffolding of all types are not considered in this standard.
This guide is based on the knowledge and more than 25 years of experience on the use of room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber coatings that are used to improve the contamination performance of outdoor high-voltage (HV) insulators. This guide discusses various important aspects that are needed for satisfactory long-term performance of HV insulator coatings (HVIC); namely, various application methods, pre-coated insulators, partially coated insulators, maintenance issues on coated… read more insulators, factors aff ecting long-term performance, the question of aging, laboratory accelerated tests, and functional outdoor evaluation. However, it must be clear that for any specifi c application, judgment and experience are required to analyze and balance the many characteristics, which are discussed to obtain satisfactory performance and reliability. read less
The guide is based on industry practices and presents guidelines for installation, maintenance, and operation of above ground irrigation equipment near or under power lines as they pertain to minimum distance to energized conductors and proper grounding to help minimize nuisance shocks. The guide covers a variety of conditions in general terms. Specific recommendations are made for the type of irrigation systems and power line parameters most commonly found. This guide does not cover… read more transferred potentials and currents. read less
This standard establishes criteria and requirements for interconnection of distributed energy resources with electric power systems (EPSs) and associated interfaces. The stated technical specifications and requirements are universally needed for interconnection and interoperability of distributed energy resources (DERs)2 and will be sufficient for most installations.3 The specified performance requirements apply at the time of interconnection and as long as the DER remains in service.
This guide provides models and an analytical process to enable calculation of the predicted incident thermal energy and the arc-flash boundary. The process covers the collection of field data if applicable, consideration of power system operating scenarios, and calculation parameters. Applications include electrical equipment and conductors for three-phase alternating current (ac) voltages from 208 V to 15 kV. Calculations for single-phase ac systems and direct current (dc) systems are not a… read more part of this guide, but some guidance and references are provided for those applications. Recommendations for personal protective equipment (PPE) to mitigate arc-flash hazards are not included in this guide. read less
This recommended practice defi nes the areas of recommended knowledge for installers and maintainers of stationary standby batteries (primarily lead-acid and Ni-Cd standby batteries) and related systems to the extent that they aff ect the battery, personnel safety and reliability of any related systems. Designing the dc system (including any connected ac inverters) and sizing of the dc battery charger(s) are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. While some of the battery information… read more covered by this practice applies to small off - grid cycling applications, information relative to large energy storage cycling applications is limited. read less
This standard defines the syntax and semantics of a format used to express power intent in energy-aware electronic system design. Power intent includes the concepts and information required for specification and validation, implementation and verification, and modeling and analysis of power-managed electronic systems. This standard also defines the relationship between the power intent captured in this format and design intent captured via other formats (e.g., standard hardware description languages and cell libraries).
