IEEE Standard Letter Symbols for Quantities Used in Electrical Science and Electrical Engineering
Letter symbols to represent various quantities used in electrical science and technology are presented 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No Superseded Standards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.
