Directions and methods for qualifying permanent connections used for substation grounding are provided. Particular attention is given to the connectors used within the grid system, connectors used to join ground leads to the grid system, and connectors used to join the ground leads to equipment and structures. The purpose is to give assurance to the user that connectors meeting the requirements of this standard will perform in a satisfactory manner over the lifetime of the installation provided, that the proper connectors are selected for the application and that they are installed correctly. Parameters for testing grounding connections on aluminum, copper, steel, copper-clad steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and stainless-clad steel are addressed. Performance criteria are established, test procedures are provided, and mechanical, current--temperature cycling, freeze--thaw, corrosion, and fault-current tests are specified.

IEEE Guide for the Design of Low-Voltage Auxiliary Systems for Electric Power Substations
Considered in this guide are the components of both the ac and dc systems and the provided guidelines and recommendations for designing the appropriate systems for the substation under consideration. This guide includes the low-voltage auxiliary systems from the source(s) to the distribution point(s). Reliability requirements and load characteristics are discussed and distribution methods are recommended.
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.
837-2002
IEEE Standard for Qualifying Permanent Connections Used in Substation Grounding
Direction and methods for qualifying permanent connections used for substation grounding are provided in this standard. This standard particularly addresses the connection used within the grid system, the connection used to join ground leads to the grid system, and the connection used to join the ground leads to equipment and structures.
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.
1119-1988
IEEE Guide for Fence Safety Clearances in Electric-Supply Stations
A method for providing fence safety clearances for electric-supply stations is presented. The purpose is to provide design guidance for the location of fences with respect to live parts within a station. The guide applies to electric-supply stations with voltage between phases up to and including 765 000 V.
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
