P421.4
Guide for the Preparation of Excitation System Specifications
This guide provides the necessary material to the specification writer in order to prepare the specification for the procurement of an excitation system for a synchronous machine. The guide presents information in narrative form with the descriptions and functions of particular features that are to be examined in preparing specifications. This guide also identifies the most modernized industry functions as it pertains to preparing specifications for the procurement.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards

No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
