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.
18-2025
IEEE Standard for Shunt Power Capacitors
Power capacitors rated 216 V or higher, 2.5 kVAR or more, and designed for shunt connection to alternating-current transmission and distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz are considered in this standard.
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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.
18-2012
IEEE Standard for Shunt Power Capacitors
Power capacitors rated 216 V or higher, 2.5 kvar or more, and designed for shunt connection to alternating-current transmission and distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, are considered.
