PC62.92.3
Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part III -Generator Auxiliary Systems
This guide summarizes the general considerations in neutral grounding of electrical utility generating station auxiliary power systems. It discusses the factors to be considered in selecting between the appropriate grounding classes and specifying equipment ratings. This guide applies to both medium-voltage (1 kV to15 kV) and low-voltage (less than 1 kV) auxiliary power systems. The intent of this guide is to discuss grounding methods which may be used to limit equipment damage by limiting excessive fault currents and system overvoltages during ground faults. The emphasis is on reliability and availability of auxiliary power system service, achieved through control of ground-fault currents and transient overvoltages. This guide is specifically written for electrical utility systems and does not consider the neutral grounding requirements for dispersed storage and generation. These requirements must take into consideration the restrictions imposed by the specific network to which the dispersed storage or generation is connected. However, neutral grounding of dispersed storage and generation needs to be coordinated with the electrical utility system.
PC62.92.4
IEEE Draft Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems--Part IV: Distribution
The neutral grounding of single- and three-phase ac electric-utility primary distribution systems with nominal voltages in the range of 2.4 kV – 34.5 kV is addressed. Classes of distribution-systems grounding are defined. Basic considerations in distribution-system grounding concerning economics, control of temporary over voltages, control of ground-fault currents, and ground relaying are addressed. Also considered is the use of grounding transformers, grounding of high-voltage neutral of wye-delta distribution transformers, and interconnection of primary and secondary neutrals of distribution transformers.
PC62.92.6

This guide applies to three-phase electrical utility systems and is Part VI of the IEEE C62.92(TM) series. This part provides definitions and considerations related to system grounding where the dominant sources of system energization are current-regulated or power-regulated power conversion devices.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.

IEEE Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems--Part I: Introduction
The application of neutral grounding to three-phase electrical utility systems is described in this guide. It is Part 1 of the IEEE C62.92 series of guides for neutral grounding.

The basic factors and general considerations in selecting the class and means of neutral grounding for synchronous generator systems connected to electrical utility systems are provided in this guide. It also provides the suggested methods and apparatus to be used to achieve the desired grounding. These guidelines apply to both large and small generators found in electrical utility systems. Definitions of grounding terms used in this the guide can be found in IEEE Std C62.92.1(TM)-2000.

IEEE Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part 1 - Introduction
Some basic considerations for the selection of neutral grounding parameters that will provide for the control of ground-fault current and overvoltage on all portions of three-phase electrical utility systems are presented. These considerations apply specifically to electric utility systems and do not recognize the neutral grounding requirements for dispersed storage and generation. They are intended to serve as an introduction to a series of standards on neutral grounding in electrical utility systems.
