This guide presents factors to be considered in the planning, design, and installation of transition facilities between overhead and underground transmission lines. These include the system implications of a hybrid installation as they relate to the transition facility. While this document focuses on transmission lines, some of the considerations listed in this guide are common to transmission, distribution, and substation installations.

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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.

IEEE Guide for Planning and Designing Transition Facilities between Overhead and Underground Transmission Lines
Careful consideration of the physical and electrical characteristics of overhead lines and transmission cables are necessary in designing a transition structure between the two systems. Environmental and social factors also play a role in designing a transition. By considering the factors contained in this guide, the user will be better able to design a suitable transition that balances cost, operability, environmental factors, and future flexibility.
