IEEE 605-2008

IEEE Guide for Bus Design in Air Insulated Substations

A proper design of the substation bus ensures a safe and reliable operation of the substation and the power system. Two different types of buses are used in substations, the rigid bus and the strain (cable). This guide provides information on the different bus arrangements used in substations stating the advantages and disadvantages of each. Also it provides information as related to each bus type and construction. Once the bus type is selected, this guide provides the calculation tools for each bus type. Based on these calculations, the engineer can specify the bus size, forces acting on the bus structure, number of mounting structures required, and hardware requirements.

605-2023

IEEE Approved Draft Guide for Bus Design in Air Insulated Substations

A proper design of the substation bus aims towards a safe and reliable operation of the substation and the power system. Two different types of buses are used in substations, the rigid bus and the strain (cable). This guide provides information on the different bus arrangements used in substations stating the advantages and disadvantages of each. Also it provides information as related to each bus type and construction. Once the bus type is selected, this guide provides the calculation tools for each bus type. Based on these calculations, the engineer can specify the bus size, forces acting on the bus structure, number of mounting structures required, and hardware requirements.

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


605-1998

IEEE Guide for the Design of Substation Rigid-Bus Structures

Rigid-bus structures for outdoor and indoor, air insulated, and alternating current substations are covered. Portions of this guide are also applicable to strain bus structures or direct current substations, or both. Ampacity, radio influence, vibration, and forces due to gravity, wind, fault cur-rent, and thermal expansion are considered. Design criteria for conductor and insulator strength calculations are included.

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
