1653.6-2018
IEEE Recommended Practice for Grounding of DC Equipment Enclosures in Traction Power Distribution Facilities
The grounding of dc equipment enclosures installed in dc traction power distribution facilities as well as related insulation treatments required for solid and resistance grounding methods are covered in this standard. Guidelines are also given for material, installation, and testing of insulation used in dc traction facilities and further recommended criteria for acceptability are provided. System grounding, though related, is not covered in this document.
2853-2024
IEEE Approved Draft Recommended Practice for Grounding of Traction Power Systems
An explanation of the issues surrounding grounding in traction power systems, why they differ from grounding in industrial and commercial power systems, and recommendations
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.
1653.6-2013
IEEE Trial-Use Recommended Practice for Grounding of DC Equipment Enclosures in Traction Power Distribution Facilities
The grounding of dc equipment enclosures installed in dc traction power distribution facilities as well as related insulation treatments required for solid and resistance grounding methods are covered in this standard. Guidelines are also given for material, installation, and testing of insulation used in dc traction facilities and further recommended criteria for acceptability are provided. System grounding, though related, is not covered in this document
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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
