The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved IEEE 1610 - Guide for the Application of Faulted Circuit Indicators for 200/600 A, Three-Phase Underground Distribution.
This application guide provides information on what a faulted circuit indicator (FCI) is designed to do and describes methods for selecting FCIs for three-phase, 200/600 ampere (A) underground distribution circuits.
The IEEE also revised two standards related to high- and medium-voltage power cables.
IEEE 592 - Standard for Exposed Semiconducting Shields on High Voltage Cable Joints and Separable Connectors revises the standard from 1990.
The standard provides design tests for shield resistance and a simulated fault-current initiation for exposed semiconducting shields used on cable accessories, specifically joints and separable insulated connectors rated 15 kilovolts (kV) through 35 kV.
The IEEE also revised IEEE 1407 - Guide for Accelerated Aging Tests for Medium-Voltage (5 kV - 35 kV) Extruded Electric Power Cables Using Water-Filled Tanks, which is a standard previously approved in 1998.
The implementation of this guide will allow a better description of the test data obtained by different laboratories, said the IEEE.
