Active Standard

IEEE 1613-2023

IEEE Standard for Environmental and Testing Requirements for Devices with Communications Functions used with Electric Power Apparatus

Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and environmental testing requirements are defined in this standard based upon IEEE standards and five International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) EMC standards (for which there are no equivalent IEEE standards), to represent the harsh environment of electric power apparatus installations. This develops a common and reproducible basis for designing and testing devices with communications functions installed in this harsh environment. Where the device does not perform protection or control functions, testing of the communications functions is covered by IEEE Std 1613. Where the device performs protection or control functions and has communications ports, tests for all communications functions are covered by the IEEE C37.90 family of standards.

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.


1613-2003
IEEE Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices in Electric Power Substations

Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, and environmental testing requirements are defined for communications networking devices to be installed in electric power substations. This standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating communications networking devices for use in this harsh environment.

1613a-2008
IEEE Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices in Electric Power Substations Amendment 1: Add Requirements for Altitude and Altitude Derating Factors

This amendment adds requirements to IEEE Std 1613-2003 relating to the altitude of installed communications networking devices, and the derating factors for dielectric power frequency tests and rated maximum ambient temperatures if the installation is above a specified altitude.

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.


1613-2009
IEEE Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices Installed in Electric Power Substations

Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, and environmental testing requirements are defined for communications networking devices to be installed in electric power substations. This standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating communications networking devices and the communications ports of protective relays for use in this harsh environment.

1613.1-2013
IEEE Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices Installed in Transmission and Distribution Facilities

Environmental testing requirements are defined for communications networking devices to be installed in transmission and distribution facilities. This standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating devices utilizing radio frequency (RF) up to 6 GHz, power line communications, and broadband over power line (BPL) technologies. It also requires immunity to five IEC electromagnetic compatibility standards for which there are no IEEE equivalent standards. This standard is an extension to IEEE Std 1613(tm)-2009 and IEEE Std 1613a(tm)-2011.
