Overview of changes to IEEE 902, Guide for Maintenance, Operation, and Safety of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

IEEE Std. 902, Guide for Maintenance, Operation, and Safety of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems, also known as the IEEE Yellow Book, has been an excellent resource for engineering, management, safety professionals, and maintenance personnel since it was published in 1998. This presentation will provide an overview of how this IEEE standard has been revised for those who are responsible for the operation, management, maintenance, and safety of industrial and commercial electrical power systems. The entire IEEE Color Book series is in the process of being revised and reorganized into numerous “dot” standards, under the 3000 series of standards, with the Yellow Book being divided into three such “dot” standards. The new “dot” standards for operations and management, maintenance, and safety are: (1) 3007.1, Recommended Practice for the Operation and Management of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems (2) 3007.2, Recommended Practice for the Maintenance of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems (3) 3007.3, Recommended Practice for Electrical Safety in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems This paper and presentation will provide an overview of the IEEE Color Book Reorganization effort, as well as some specific information on IEEE 3007.1, 3007.2, and 3007.3.
