IEEE 120-2023

IEEE Master Test Guide for Electrical Measurements in Power Circuits

The material submitted for the 2020 reinstatement of Working Group 120 is the basis for this updated version. To provide general guidelines intended to assist nonelectrical engineers and technicians involved in quality control, acceptance, and prototype testing where electrical instrumentation is the main tool for measuring, observing, or recording physical quantities is the basic approach for the new organization. The contributors strived to maintain the relevant and important knowledge that was previously carefully collected and update this as appropriate.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

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.


No Superseded Standards

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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.


120-1989
IEEE Master Test Guide for Electrical Measurements in Power Circuits

Instructions are given for measuring electrical quantities that are commonly needed to determine the performance characteristics of electric machinery and equipment. Methods are given for measuring voltage, current, power, energy, power factor, frequency, impedance, and magnetic quantities, with either analog or digital indicating or integrating instruments, in DC or AC rotating machines, transformers, induction apparatus, arc and resistance heating equipment, mercury arc, thermionic, or solid-state rectifiers and inverters. Ancillary instruments and equipment are discussed. Computer-based techniques and the use of optical fibers in instrumentation are considered.
