Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P1227
Guide for the Measurement of DC Electric-Field Strength and Ion Related Quantities
This standard establishes uniform procedures for the measurement of electric-field strength, ion-current density, conductivity, monopolar space-charge density and net space-charge density in the vicinity of high-voltage dc (HVDC) sources.
P1829
Guide for Conducting Corona Tests on Hardware Assemblies for Overhead Transmission Lines and Substations
This guide establishes uniform procedures for the testing of transmission line and station bus hardware assemblies in high voltage (>100 kV ) laboratories. Two tests are described. The first one is a corona performance test. The second is a radio interference voltage (RIV) test. The first test uses visible techniques to determine the onset of positive corona. The second test is a measurement of the RIV voltage according to ANSI C63.2 or CISPR 16-1-1 and CISPR TR 18-2. This guide does not address the permissible radio interference (RI) limits or specified corona extinction voltages. They are set either by regulation or by agreement between the end user and hardware manufacturer.
P2819
IEEE Draft Recommended Practice for Measuring Electromagnetic Fields from Overhead Power Transmission Lines in Shared AC and DC Corridors
Uniform procedures for the measurement of the power frequency electric field and dc electric field when ac/dc power transmission lines are installed in parallel or on shared towers are established in this recommended practice. The measurement ranges and layout of measurement points, data recording and processing, and result evaluation methods of parallel power transmission lines of different voltage levels are recommended.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.

IEEE Guide on the Prediction,Measurement, and Analysis of AM Broadcast Reradiation by Power Lines
A set of procedures to be followed to cope with reradiation of AM broadcast signals from power lines and other large metallic structures is provided. Reradiation may be described as electromagnetic waves radiated from a structure that has parasitically picked up a signal from the environment. A simplified prediction technique called a survey is described to determine which structures could possibly cause a problem. Guidelines for measurements and data analysis are included.

IEEE Guide for Conducting Corona Tests on Hardware for Overhead Transmission Lines and Substations
Uniform procedures for the testing of transmission line and station bus hardware in high voltage laboratories are established in this guide. Two tests are described: the first is a visual corona test, the second is a radio interference voltage (RIV) test. This guide does not address the permissible radio interference (RI) limits or specified corona extinction voltages. They are set either by regulation or by agreement between the utility and hardware manufacturer.

IEEE Guide for Evaluating AC Interference on Linear Facilities Co-Located Near Transmission Lines
This guide identifies the mechanisms and analytic approach for ac interference effects on conductive linear facilities due to the operation of co-located electric transmission lines. The common mechanisms for ac interference such as magnetic inductive coupling, capacitive coupling, and conductive voltage transfer through soil are discussed. Included are general guidelines and considerations for performing detailed ac interference analyses, with sections specific to the analysis of co-located pipeline and railroad facilities. This guide does not dictate specific compliance limits, direct when an ac interference analysis must be performed, or cover other issues that may need to be considered in joint-use corridors, such as effects due to lightning striking the line or dc corrosion on structures.

IEEE Standard Procedures for the Measurement of Radio Noise from Overhead Power Lines and Substations
Uniform procedures for the measurement of radio noise generated by corona from overhead power lines and substations are established in this standard. Measurement procedures in this standard are also valid for other power-line noise sources such as gaps and harmonics; however, most of the precautionary information, analysis, and data plotting techniques were written and developed primarily for corona discharges. The procedures are not valid for measuring transient radio noise sources that occur during breaker or disconnect switching operations. The procedures apply in the frequency range of 0.010 MHz to 1000 MHz; however, the emphasis is on the standard amplitude-modulation broadcasting (0.535 MHz to 1.605 MHz) and television broadcasting (54 MHz to 72 MHz, 76 MHz to 88 MHz, 174 MHz to 216 MHz, and 470 MHz to 698 MHz) bands. This standard is applicable to both ac and dc transmission lines and substations.

AIEE Proposed Recommended Practice for Toroidal Magnetic tape Wound Cores
The scope of this recommended practice is restricted to the recommendation of nominal dimensions for torodial strip-wound cores made from magnetic tape between approximately 0.014 and 0.005 inch in thickness and without regard to the type of magnetic material used. Bobbin-wound cores of ultra-thin magnetic tapes are not included. Also excluded from consideration are recommendations on dimensional tolerances, space factors, number of wraps of tape, core case shape or size, and particular values of strip thickness.
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
