Ebook: IEEE Std 1100-1999, IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment

Incompatibilities between power system characteristics and equipment tolerances have caused operating problems and loss of productivity in all kinds of power systems-putting facility engineers and system designers in the spotlight to provide effective and efficient solutions. A key element to formulating any solution is the cooperative effort, among power system designers, equipment manufacturers, and the electric utilities, to provide and maintain an acceptable level of load/source compatibility. IEEE Std 1100-1999, Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment, provides good engineering practice that can be applied in the development of these solutions.
