33、 not part of IEEE Std 81-2012, IEEE Guide for Measuring Earth Resistivity, Ground Impedance, and Earth Surface Potentials of a Grounding System. IEEE Std 81TM-1983 B36awas prepared by the Power System Instrumentation and Measurement Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society. The guide was inten
34、ded to cover the majority of field measurements that did not require special, high-precision equipment and did not address unusual difficulties that can occur in large grounding systems, abnormally high stray alternating currents (ac) or direct currents (dc), and so on. In 1991, IEEE Std 81 was reaf
35、firmed and IEEE Std 81.2-1991 B37 was released to cover the measurement of very low impedances (less than 1 ohm) along with specialized instrumentation, measurement techniques, and safety considerations. After nearly two decades of inactivity, the Substation Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy So
36、ciety determined that IEEE Std 81-1983 and IEEE Std 81.2-1991 contained subject matter that is very relevant for applications in electric utility facilities, but the standards needed to be updated. A working group was formed to combine both standards into a singular document that included updated instrumentation, techniques, and information. This document represents the efforts of that working group. aThe numbers in brackets correspond to those of the bibliography in Annex F.
