Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P1726
Guide for the Functional Specification of Fixed-Series Capacitor Banks for Transmission System Applications
This guide provides general guidelines toward the preparations of a functional specification of transmission fixed-series capacitor (FSC) banks using overvoltage protection based on three technologies: - metal oxide varistors - metal oxide varistors with a forced-triggered bypass gaps - thyristor valve bypass The commercial aspects of the specification for a particular project are outside the scope of this guide.
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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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 the Functional Specification of Fixed-Series Capacitor Banks for Transmission System Applications
General guidelines toward the preparations of a functional specification of transmission fixed-series capacitor (FSC) banks using overvoltage protection based on three technologies are provided. The three technologies are: - metal oxide varistors - metal oxide varistors with a forced-triggered bypass gaps, and thyristor protected series capacitors - thyristor protected series capacitor This guide does not apply comprehensively to thyristor-controlled series capacitors.
