Standard Details

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 overvoltages, 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.

Active Projects	Active PC62.92.5 - IEEE Draft Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part V-Transmission Systems and Subtransmission Systems Basic factors and general considerations in selecting the class and 38 means of neutral grounding for a particular ac transmission or subtransmission system are covered. An apparatus to be used to achieve the desired grounding is suggested, and methods for specifying the grounding devices are given. Transformer tertiary systems, equipment-neutral grounding, and the effects of series compensation on grounding are discussed.
Existing Standards	Superseded C62.92-1987 - IEEE Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part 1 - Introduction Some basic considerations for the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.
	Superseded C62.92.1-2000 - IEEE Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part 1 - Introduction This guide is the introduction to the C62.92 series of five IEEE guides on neutral grounding in three-phase electrical utility systems.It provides system grounding definitions and considerations that are general to all types of electrical utility systems.
	Superseded C62.92.2-1989 - IEEE Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part II - Grounding of Synchronous Generator Systems General considerations for grounding synchronous generator systems are summarized, focusing on the objectives of generator grounding. The factors to be considered in the selection of a grounding class and the application of grounding methods are discussed. Four generator grounding types are considered: unit-connected generation systems, common-bus generators without feeders, generators with feeders directly connected at generated voltage, and three-phase, 4-wire connected generators.
	Superseded C62.92.3-1993 - IEEE Guide for the Application of Neutral Grounding in Electrical Utility Systems, Part III - Generator Auxiliary Systems Basic factors and general considerations in selecting the class and means of neutral grounding for electrical generating plant auxiliary power systems are given in this guide. Apparatus to be used to achieve the desired grounding are suggested, and methods to specify the grounding devices are given. Sensitivity and selectivity of equipment ground-fault protection as affected by selection of the neutral grounding device are discussed, with examples.
	Superseded C62.92.4-1991 - IEEE 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--34.5 kV is addressed. Classes of distribution systems grounding are defined. Basic considerations in distribution system grounding--concerning economics, control of temporary overvoltages, control of ground-fault currents, and ground relaying--are addressed. Also considered are use of grounding transformers, grounding of high-voltage neutral of wye/delta distribution transformers, and interconnection of primary and secondary neutrals of distribution transformers.
