Guide on Ethernet in the First Mile
"Ethernet in the First Mile: Access for Everyone," a book from the
Standards Information Network, is an essential guide to help service providers
and others understand both Ethernet and the entire IEEE 802.3ah-2004 Ethernet
in the First Mile (EFM) standard.
While Ethernet is well known among commercial network administrators,
access network service providers are often much less familiar with it.
This 480-page book by experts Wael William Diab and Howard M. Frazier
provides anyone working on access network services with the necessary
information to find the Ethernet technology that best suits their needs.
It also is a great resource for anyone who wants to build equipment compatible
with the EFM standard.
Presented in a concise and easy-to-read format, "Ethernet in the First
Mile: Access for Everyone" contains practical information on interoperability
and testing — areas important to EFM providers, users, builders and suppliers.
The authors also discuss the parameters and issues that can help readers
apply EFM technology and outlines typical business cases and considerations
for deploying EFM.

in the First Mile: Access for Everyone," watch

Arc Flash Standards Collected on a Convenient
CD-ROM
The two IEEE standards related to Arc Flash phenomenon,
along with bonus materials, have been collected into one easy-to-use resource.
The "IEEE Std 1584-2002 & IEEE Std 1584a-2004 Set" -- available in PDF format,
or in print with accompanying CD-ROM -- contains the 2002 standard, "IEEE
Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations," along with its 2004
amendment. The set also includes two arc flash hazard calculators and three
test data files.
Together, this
guide provides comprehensive techniques for designers and facility operators
to apply in determining the arc-flash hazard distance and the incident energy
to which employees could be exposed during their work on or near electrical
equipment.

IEEE Green Book™
IEEE Standard 142™- 2007
Recommended Practice for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems
The IEEE Green Book reviews practices and methods of system grounding in
detail. A thorough investigation of grounding problems, and the methods
for solving these problems, is presented. In presenting these problems and
solutions to electrical engineers worldwide, the IEEE Green Book provides
a basic framework for applying fundamental principles to specific work situations
and applications.
The IEEE Green Book addresses many different aspects of grounding. The problems
of system grounding, which include connection to ground of neutral, of the
corner of the delta, or of the midtap of one phase, are covered. The advantages
and disadvantages of grounded versus ungrounded systems are discussed. Information
is given on how to ground the system, where the system should be grounded,
and how to select equipment for the grounding of neutral circuits.

IEEE White Book™
IEEE Standard 602™- 2007
Recommended Practice for Electric Systems in Health Care Facilities
Because of their increasing size and complexity, today’s health care facilities
have become more and more dependent upon safe, adequate, and reliable electrical
systems.
The term health care facilities includes references to buildings or parts
of buildings that contain hospitals, nursing homes, residential custodial
care facilities, clinics, ambulatory health care centers, and medical and
dental offices. Most of the equipment used is sensitive to electrical disturbances
and requires a very reliable power source. The IEEE White Book provides
the recommended practices for the design and operation of electric systems
in these health care facilities.

Wireless Local Area Networks Quality
of Service: An Engineering Perspective
Pre-Order your copy today!
Since conception, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), which is based
on IEEE 802.11TM technologies, has seen a wide range of applications.
With the introduction of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other
multimedia applications, WLAN users demand more than just connectivity
based on best effort delivery.
A specific requirement for WLAN is to support Quality of Service (QoS)
mechanisms that allow the differentiation between traffic types and the
allocation of resources to application traffic that has to be delivered
within a time limit or within a certain bound on the information loss.

IEEE Trial-Use Recommended Practice Digital Rights Expression
This recommended practice facilitates the creation, management and
delivery of digital content for eLearning by technology that implements
Digital Rights Expression Languages (DRELs). This recommended practice
determines what, if any, extensions are needed so that these DRELs can
meet the identified requirements.

IEEE Standard for General Requirements and Test Code for Oil-Immersed
HVDC Converter Transformers
The electrical, mechanical, and physical requirements of oil-immersed
single-phase and three-phase converter transformers are specified in this
standard. Tests are described and test code defined.
Devices such as arc furnace transformers and rectifier transformers for
industrial or locomotive applications are not covered.

99-2007 IEEE Recommended Practice for the Preparation of Test Procedures
for the Thermal Evaluation of Insulation Systems for Electrical Equipment
A general form is provided for the preparation of test procedures.
Points to be considered by technical committees in the preparation of
specific instructions for the thermal evaluation of insulation systems
for electric equipment are suggested.
The test procedures involve accelerated thermal aging of insulation systems
and specify tests that the committees deem pertinent, based on conditions
of use. The objective of the procedures is to provide for the functional
evaluation, by test, of insulation systems for electric equipment.

IEEE Guide for Test and Evaluation of Lead-Acid Batteries Used in Photovoltaic
(PV) Hybrid Power Systems
This guide is specifically prepared for a PV/engine generator hybrid
power system, but may also be applicable to all hybrid power systems where
there is at least one renewable power source, such as PV, and a dispatchable
power source, such as an engine generator.
Taper-charge parameters for PV hybrid systems are suggested to help in
preparing the battery for a capacity test. A test procedure is provided
to ensure appropriate data acquisition, battery characterization, and
capacity measurements. Finally, a process to review test results and make
appropriate decisions regarding the battery is provided. No cycle-life
predictions are made.

Would you like to participate in peer reviewing
new Standards Information Network products?
Peer review is required for endorsement or publication of all IEEE Standards
Information Network products. Unlike the balloting process required for
IEEE standards, there is no balance requirement or mandatory response
to comments received during the peer review process.
However, authors are required to consider the comments submitted by reviewers
and implement changes if the concerns are valid. We are presently looking
to increase our peer reviewer pool.

InterNational Electrical Testing Association
Contributes to IEEE/NFPA Arc Flash Project
PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA
4 March 2008
Multi-Year, $6.5 Million Program Aims to Better Define Arc Flash Hazards
and Protect Workers
The InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) has become
sponsor of the Arc Flash research initiative organized by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA). NETA's Silver Level contribution will be funded over
the next three years.
Arc Flash is an electric current that is passed through air when insulation
or isolation between electrified conductors is no longer sufficient to
withstand the applied voltage. The flash is immediate, but the results
can cause severe injury. Two-thousand times a year, workers are admitted
to burn centers for extended injury treatment caused by arc flash.

IEEE Begins Work on Standard to Recommend Practices for Investigating
Events at Nuclear Facilities
PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA
4 March 2008
The IEEE has begun work on a new standard, IEEE P1707™, "Recommended
Practice for the Investigation of Events at Nuclear Facilities." When
completed, the standard will provide common terminology and recommended
practices for initiating and conducting event investigations, analyzing
data, producing results, and identifying corrective actions associated
with facility personnel, processes, equipment and systems at nuclear facilities.
The nuclear industry does not currently employ a common practice or approach
to event investigations, which results in widely experienced terminology
problems.
