This recommended practice covers the grounding and bonding of equipment in industrial and commercial power systems. The interconnection and grounding of the non-electrical metallic elements of a system is covered first. This is followed by a discussion of the objectives of equipment grounding, including minimizing electric shock hazard to personnel, providing adequate current carrying capability for ground faults, and ensuring the timely operation of overcurrent protection.
Analytical Principle and Recommended Techniques most often employed in the Design, Operation and Trouble-Shooting of Electric Power Systems for Industrial Facilities and Commerical Buildings. Covers Basic Principles and Specific Techniques for Short-Circuit, Load Flow, Transient Stability, Coordination and other Types of Analysis.
This recommended practice outlines procedures and various considerations involved when planning and designing electrical power distribution systems serving industrial plants and commercial facilities. The information contained in this recommended practice includes typical load data and a suggested method for determining individual and total connected and total demand load characteristics of industrial plants and commercial buildings.
This recommended practice covers the selection and application of controllers and automation to industrial and commercial power systems. It is likely to be of greatest value to the power-oriented engineer with limited experience with this equipment. It can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the electrical design of industrial and commercial power systems. The present edition of this recommended practice focuses on the application of ANSI/NEMA design controllers. There are… read more differences in the design of IEC controllers which require additional application considerations which are beyond the scope of the present edition. read less
This recommended practice contains information concerning system voltage nomenclature and the preferred voltage ratings of distribution apparatus and utilization equipment. This is essential to proper voltage identification throughout a power distribution system. The recommended practice also discusses the dynamic characteristics of the system and the proper principles of voltage control applied so that satisfactory voltages will be supplied to utilization equipment under operating conditions.
This recommended practice covers the protection of bus and switchgear used in industrial and commercial power systems. It provides fault protection and isolation strategies for the substation bus and switchgear, including the bus, circuit breakers, fuses, disconnecting devices, transformers, and the structures on which they are mounted.
This recommended practice describes how to evaluate the reliability of existing industrial and commercial power systems. It is likely to be of greatest value to the power-oriented engineer with limited experience in the area of reliability. It can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the design of industrial and commercial power systems. It contains recommendations for assessing power system conditions and assembling the data required for full reliability calculations for large or critical facilities as well as recommendations for inspection, maintenance, and engineering activities that will benefit smaller or less critical facilities.
This recommended practice explores commercial, institutional, and industrial design of electrical services, interconnecting with a utility distribution or transmission system. Close coordination between the facility electrical designer and the serving utility are critical for a successful service connection. This recommended practice considers the electrical system information needed by the designer concerning the utility's system characteristics and the electrical load information needed by… read more the utility to design a satisfactory electrical interface between the serving utility and the premise electrical distribution system. It describes various ways to take power from the serving utility. It also covers the specific requirements for utility metering on service entrance equipment, as well as service equipment rooms, vaults, and pads. read less
This recommended practice describes essential aspects associated with the protection of transformers used in industrial and commercial power systems. Such aspects include protection philosophy, selection and practical application of protection functions, devices, logics, schemes, procedures and other associated recommended practices.
