Outdoor ac substations, either conventional or gas-insulated, are covered in this guide. Distribution, transmission, and generating plant substations are also included. With proper caution,the methods described herein are also applicable to indoor portions of such substations, or to sub-stations that are wholly indoors. No attempt is made to cover the grounding problems peculiar to dc substations. A quantitative analysis of the effects of lightning surges is also beyond the scope of this guide.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P1246
IEEE Draft Guide for Temporary Protective Grounding Systems Used in Substations
The design, performance, use, testing, and installation of temporary protective grounding systems, including the connection points, as used in permanent and mobile substations, are covered in this guide.
P1268
Guide for Safety in Installation and Operation of Mobile Substation Equipment
This guide contains information on general topics and items pertaining to safety when installing and operating mobile substation equipment. The guide recognizes that mobile substation equipment varies widely. It is beyond the scope of this guide to provide specific step-by-step instructions for individual units.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
